First of all, wow, after the first story, The Takings, with Adrian and Wyatt, I didn’t know if Sandie Will could pull it off again with the same characters, but she did and then some. Sandie Will masters story pacing in The Replacings as she ramps up your emotions until they pique and then gives you just long enough rest before taking you through another emotional rollercoaster. The Replacings is the psychological thriller to read this year! Within the first few pages, you’ll be sucked into the storyline and emotionally tied to one, if not multiple, characters.
The Replacings is an excellent option if you’re looking for a fast-paced, page-turning, psychological thriller. I loved The Takings and think The Replacings is a phenomenal follow-up in the storyline. As with The Takings, Sandie Will leaves you on the edge of your seat on the last page, making you turn it in horror to see the back cover. No story truly ends, but Sandie Will ends The Replacings in the perfect spot for a psychological thriller.

The Replacings is a psychological thriller that takes us deep into two damaged psyches.

Adrian’s mind shattered when he lost his family. Now a dark, dangerous part of himself is determined to replace them.

Wyatt was the first kidnapping victim, taken seven years ago. Suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, he struggles to do what’s necessary to survive, while empathizing with his captor.

The psychological aspects of this story are real and unsettling.

I didn’t read the first book, The Takings, and I had no problem reading this one as a stand-alone.

*I received an eARC from the author.*

After reading "The Takings," I wondered if and how Adrian and Wyatt's story might continue ... Seven years later, it picks up again in suspenseful fashion, taking us back into the wilds of the "real Florida," and immersing us in Adrian's warped fantasies of rebuilding his family. You'll be drawn into this tale, with new characters, new horrors, and an ending that might leave you just a little unsettled. Great read!
