Feeling for the Air (The Devereux Cousins Book 2), by author Karen E. Black, continues where From the Chrysalis: A Novel left off. Darcy “Dace” Devereux was on the run; he’d escaped from a maximum security prison where the most cold-blooded of offenders were housed. Now he was one of the most wanted men in Canada. He’d managed to get word to Liza Devereux, his cousin and lover; they met in the bomb shelter on the Melville property before he went on the run again. It was extremely cold but he finally made it to Cornwall, despite the cold and dark. He and Dirt Beard of the Wolfhounds had just met when he heard a shot. Meanwhile Larry Savage was hot on Dace’s trail. Liza had a secret; she was expecting Dace’s baby.

Feeling for the Air (The Devereux Cousins Book 2) by author Karen E. Black is a brilliantly written coming of age novel. We all make decisions and must live with the consequences. That is where we find Dace and Liza — dealing with the consequences of their decisions. When I reviewed Chrysalis, I compared Dace to James Dean and the roles he played. I still see Dace in that manner. When he assisted the children out of the wrecked car, he showed strong compassion for them. Obviously he is in trouble and troubled, but he’s not all bad. Karen E. Black highly developed all of her characters, even the secondary ones. Author Karen Black is not afraid to tackle a social issue and addresses several. I suggest reading this series in order although Feeling for the Air can stand well alone. This is a series you will want to savor.
