My Review
5☆ Fantastic Sequel, highly recommend
Visions is the second book of the beginnings series.
After reading the first book I became a HUGE Fan.
So when I got the opportunity to read the second book I was so excited, and Helen J Christmas didn't disappoint.
Visions is a slower paced read that creates excellent character development, builds suspense and drama.
We are back where Eleanor was left will Eli. Safe and about to start her new life in Aldwyck living in a caravan in Westbourne House land with James Barton-Wells.
It's now 12years on and Eleanor and Eli had settled into village life so well. She has become a pillar of the community.
Never forgetting her past she has been able to settle.
However things are about to be shaken up when James is struggling to keep Westbourne House. With major restoration needed he has no where to turn and with his health becoming effected he is seriously considering selling up.
Well that is until Perry Hampton arrives. There is something just not quiet right about Perry. He tries to con James, he tells James he will pay for all of the refurb on the understanding he owns the business and takes a profit.
But when he finds our Eleanor is the person living on James land his interest is even more sinister.
Who is Perry Hampton??? He is not a person to cross he knows dangerous people in high places.
Could he be connected to Eleanor's lover murder at the hands of the sadistic and dangerous Dominic Theakston??
Can Eleanor help James save Westbourne House and still keep her and Eli safe or will she never be truly safe.
Whilst she is alive secrets that should be dead and buried may threaten to expose powerful players! These people will stop at nothing to protect themselves.
There is plenty of references to the 80s. Which I could relate to although I was born in 81 I still appreciated all the little added touches making it relatable.
I can't wait to see what is next for Eleanor in book 3.
She is one of my favourite characters.
I was so relieved that she might of found happiness and freedom. But I guess it wasn't meant to be when you leave behind a dangerous past like Eleanor's.
Visions didn't have the same fast paced thrilling brutal feel as Beginnings did.
But it wasn't meant to.
It was very much character driven.
It was still suspenseful and eerie, dangerous and unnerving.
I thoroughly appreciated how all the stories weaved together perfectly.
Giving the reader little insider peaks at what was going on behind the scenes.
Building up the suspense.
I highly recommend reading book 1 first then to read this fantastic book next you won't regret it.
I can't wait to read the next book to see what is in-store for Eleanor.

Book Information
Visions is a psychological thriller set in rural England. The year is 1985. It’s been 12 years since Eleanor escaped London, discarding the fragments of her tragic past to discover a new life. She is hiding in a remote country village, a place where she truly believes she is safe.
Her neighbour, James Barton-Wells is desperate to save his historic country house from ruin but this has attracted the attention of a wealthy property developer from London whose seemingly altruistic offer to ‘bankroll the restoration’ masks a sinister game plan. Suspicious of his motives, Eleanor consults her friend, Charles Bailey. But Charlie has his own story, fearful that Perry Hampton is the man who undoubtedly destroyed his own life.
The characters are drawn together in a battle to save Westbourne House, oblivious to the menace that surrounds them. Threats, stalking and deception lie at the root of the Hamptons evil. Yet it is not until Eleanor comes face to face with them, she recognises a deadly enemy from the past.
Can Eleanor unravel the clues that conceal an evil crime committed in the 70s? This book will draw you into a world of suspense with shocking psychological twists you will never see coming…

Author Bio
Helen J. Christmas lives on the south coast with her husband. With a love of writing since childhood, she started her decade spanning thriller series 'Same Face Different Place' in 2011 and published her debut novel, 'Beginnings’ in 2012. Visions was the second book of the series and published in 2013; a suspense novel which explores British culture and social history in the 80s as well as the most evil traits people are capable of. The 16th Century cottage in which Helen lives with her husband (restored in 1991) provided endless inspiration for Visions, along with some very special places in Sussex that she loves. Writing is something she fits around her family and social life. Helen is a self employed web designer and works from home with her husband, Peter. They enjoy the company of a faithful border collie and a beautiful white cat, though Helen confesses to have dreamed up many of her storylines, whilst walking Barney around the nearby beach and park.
