When the Storm Ends, reminds us that not all children are brought up in a loving, stable home, protected from evil. It is a heart wrenching tale of physical and mental abuse. It also shows us that good can be achieved after a childhood of depravity.

The book is very well written with good tone and use of language. It is easy to understand the writers thoughts through her story. Rebecca L Marsh delves into very dark places but shows us there can be light at the end of the tunnel.

The characters are so well described that they come across showing their true natures, evil in some and such caring and love for others. Beth the main character is portrayed well in her fight to protect her brother whom she loved dearly.

An excellent read which brought me to tears at times, but also made me smile in places. The plot was brilliant and opened my eyes to the darker side of life. There were lots of twists and turns and I rarely knew what to expect next, the author definitely kept me guessing.

This had to be a really hard subject to write about but one which the author, in my eyes, covered well and really drew me in. It’s not a subject that I have read many books about but this one really showed that we never know what can go on behind closed doors in what seemingly seems a loving family.

Well done Rebecca L Marsh for writing a tale about such strong issues, darkness verses love. A very dark subject yet the author made it so readable. I shall definitely be recommending this really good book. I now look forward to reading more from the author in the future.
