Bestselling author Irene Hannon draws readers into a web of psychological suspense where danger lurks in dark corners . . . and keeps them captive until the very last page.
My Thoughts:
This book starts so slow for me. I felt the entire first half of the book was spent establishing characters and story lines, and while this is important, it seemed to be redundant. Not a lot was happening, and I almost put the book down.
By the mid-way point, however, things started to happen with the characters and the suspense I had been looking for finally arrived. Dana found herself in fear for her life from events happening around her cabin, while Finn found himself spending all of his time protecting Dana and trying to ensure she and her cabin remained safe.
Of course, Finn and Dana both have a back story that has landed them in their secluded residences, and those back stories play an important role in the how each of them handles the threats being made toward Dana.
I enjoyed the love story that also developed between Dana and Finn. While it seemed to move quickly at times, it also escalated at a nice and realistic pace. The relationship that was growing between them made the suspense of the story even more exciting.
I felt the revelation of the source and reason for the threats was a little predictable, but there were some definite surprises tangled within the conclusion of this book. And, of course, there was the question of whether Dana and Finn would end up together when it was all said and done.
Although there were parts of this book I did not enjoy, I thought it was overall a good read. If you are looking for a romantic suspense, it would be a good book for you to put on your reading list.
