Description
Ten months ago, he nearly killed her.
By the grace of God, she survived.
But the fight to regain her life is just beginning.
Holly Cross is counting down the hours to the moment her foster brother’s trial begins. Collin has haunted her footsteps—and her dreams—for fifteen years, and she wants nothing more than to put that pain and fear behind her and build a new life. But before that can happen, she has to confront the man who tried to destroy her.
Can she find the courage to face her monster in court, or will she trust the survival instincts that are screaming for her to run while there’s still time?
DA Shannon Marx is known for her skill and force of personality in a courtroom, and she’s determined to put Collin Wells where he belongs: behind bars and away from everyone she loves. But Collin Wells is unlike any defendant she’s ever come up against in court. He’s intelligent, charming, and completely devoid of conscience.
Will the jury be able to see the monster beneath the civilized veneer?
Collin Wells is a man accustomed to getting what he wants, and he has every intention of walking out of that courtroom a free man. He will fight with everything he has, and if Shannon and her loved ones can be certain of anything, it’s that Collin Wells never fights fair.

Amazing!! C.C. Warrens is a very talented writer, she keeps me on the edge of my seat!! This book was AMAZING. I don’t want to give spoilers, but there were times I just couldn’t believe what was happening. This book is not to be missed but start with The Holly series first. You will not be disappointed.

Thrilling & Captivating
This long-awaited book is not a disappointment. It has all the feels: suspense, mystery, humor, anger, desperation, joy, tears…you’ll be exhausted by the time you finish. But you will have loved every minute.
This book picks up after Justice for All and Holly Jolly Christmas and continues Holly’s story. There really is no way I can write a review without spoiling it for you, so I’m just going to say…Holly fans unite! You’ll love this book! I promise you that. So if you haven’t read any of C. C. Warrens books then you need to start. Start now…because you have a lot of catching up to do!
This is the second book in the Justice Seeking series by C. C. Warrens (Justice for All #1, Holly Jolly Christmas, novella.) And this current series follows the Holly Novels. If you haven’t read them, Criss Cross #1, Cross Fire #2, & Crossed Off #3…run to your computer and buy them! These novels follow Holly and her quest to rid herself of her traumatic past. Along the way she meets a few wonderful people who become fast friends. I totally love these books. I have fallen in love with the characters (except one, and that character is not supposed to be loved). While reading these novels I’ve laughed out loud, cried, been overjoyed, sat on the edge of my seat in suspense and been so overwhelmed I’ve had to put it down just so I could breathe. The author has a way of making these characters real. I feel like I know them and I forget that this is fiction. It’s that good!

Fabulous Seeking Justice novel!
What a fabulous conclusion to the Seeking Justice series! This book is the 2nd full size book (3rd book including the Christmas novella) in the Seeking Justice series, which follows on the heels of the Holly novels, all by C.C. Warrens. While there is enough history included that you may be able to read this one as stand-alone, I would strongly recommend reading all of the other books first in order to fully understand the underlying motivations in this book. Fans of the Holly Novels and the Seeking Justice series will be glad to see Collin have his day in court, though he tosses in some twists and turns and makes you wonder if justice really will be served. As Ms. Warrens is wont to do, she creates a perfect storm that make it appear that evil will win. At about the halfway point, I notified the author that I hadn’t thought I could like Collin any less….. but this book made it possible. And after I was done, I messaged the author to tell her how mad I was at her…. For awhile, because of how I thought things were going to end up. But then she throws in another twist at the end. I found this to be a very satisfying ending to this part of the story. I want to say so much more, but well – spoilers! The author promises more from these characters and I’m so excited to see what happens next! Special thanks to the author for an advanced e-copy of this book. I was not obligated to write a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

This one STILL keeps me up at night! C.C. does her research and makes us feel like we know these characters in person. I have blown through all the Holly and Justice novels. Can’t wait for her next one!
