I'm definitely going to be thinking about the ending this novel offers for a while. In a really great way! Gripping is a good word to use for this one. I'm all about small-town-focused books, especially when the genre is mystery or suspense. I would actually classify this one more as a thriller with the way it was written, which was incredibly well done!

Lex was a strong female character who was facing a lot of struggles when she returned to the site of the trauma she suffered as a teenager. The reason behind returning there was the loss of the last member of her family. It's up to Lex to settle all of the remaining debts and find some closure about her past along with the answers she is looking for after losing most of her family so long ago in a tragic fire. But if she's going to have any chance of a future for herself and with Kael, they're going to have to work together to track down a killer. Something Lex knows will lead her to the answers she is looking for about that horrible night.

This book felt like a psychological thriller for me with a dash of romance mixed into all of the action and thrilling suspense going on. It's one that I feel I could read again and learn something new each time, or notice something I haven't noticed before. I definitely recommend it along with the author. I know I will be checking out more of her work after reading this one!… (mehr)
