Synopsis:
A figure from Dexter’s past has uprooted all the memories he has tried so desperately to bury… to forget. The terrible events of his past have been blown wide open once again, immersing him a pool of guilt deeper than he’s even experienced before.
Dexter feels powerless. The future he foolishly allowed himself to conceive is falling apart around him and there’s nothing he can do about it. But there’s one thing he can control – one thing he’s an expert at… blocking everything out. Losing all control, Dexter copes the only way he knows how – he dives so far into the well of addiction, the only thing that matters anymore is where his next fix is coming from.
Mission accomplished – there’s no one left. He’s successfully pushed everyone away. Nobody left to care about means no more guilt, right? You can’t hurt people who aren’t there…
But has he really pushed Emily as far away as he thinks he has? She’s given up everything for him – her home, her friends… her whole life. And she doesn’t regret a single thing. But can she save him from drowning, or has he finally sunk too far?
(Not suitable for under 18’s due to language, sexual content and explicit drug use)
My Review
4 1/2 stars out of 5
Hold on Tight is book two in The Take My Hand series. After returning to the states to deal with a dire family matter Dexter brings Emily along with him but with bringing Emily with him will expose the secretes of his past that he has been avoiding telling her. A person from Dexters past reemerges and this will cause Dexter to start his downward spiral towards a guilt ridden path of self destruction. Take my hand by far is the most emotional book yet. After discovering a devastating secrete that took place in Dexters past in book one(Hold my Hand) I totally understand how Dexter thinks. It takes someone who is strong and willing to fight for the one they love and that is what Emily embodies when Dexter starts to push everyone away in his downward spiral. I can not wait to see what book 3 will bring for Dexter and Emily.

20 Fun, possibly weird, definitely useless, facts about me!
1. I don’t like even numbers – Not good when eating biscuits; one isn’t enough, two is even so I couldn’t possibly stop there… so three it is. Unless I’m being a badass, then it has to be five!

19. When I was ten years old I decided I wanted to be American and vowed to only ever speak in an American accent from that day on. I’m not sure how long that lasted, but you can rest assured I’m not still pretending now ;-)
