The first book was frightening but the revelations of the second book made it so much scarier." - Amazon Review"Burden of Truth is the second in this series and Kristin Ward did not disappoint as she shows the reader a completely different side to the story. Very well written, well thought out and well researched, the book compels the reader to reflect, think and perhaps wake up and realize that it is not the future mentioned, but it is also the present slowly getting there." – Amazon Review"In a word-Amazing! This was quite the ride! Just when I thought I had the plot figured out, there was another twist!" – Amazon Review"With The Burden of Truth, Ms. Ward has fully come into her own as a writer…The reader is drawn into Enora's plight and the difficult moral decisions she must grapple with as she dives deeper into the resistance and uncovering the secrets within her world. The action is vivid and quick-paced, this book is definitely a page-turner!" – Amazon Review
