Well, in Pushing the Limits I feel that McGarry kind of went and took every extreme for her characters.

Find my review for the first book, Pushing the Limits.īeth Risk is just as her surname describes. **Although this is a sequel, this second in the Pushing the Limits series doesn’t continue with the same characters, but gives minor characters their own show.
