A pulse-pounding new thriller from the bestselling author of Wherever She Goes and Every Step She Takes.
If someone was threatening your home, how far would you go to protect it?
Celeste Turner has a woman living in her shed. A woman who is definitely not supposed to be there. The local police, however, are ill-inclined to help. Celeste is a newcomer to a region of rural Florida. It doesn't matter that her family is originally from the area or that she returned to nurse her dying grandmother. All the locals see is a city girl who swooped in to secure her inheritance . . . a rundown house in need of extensive repairs. Celeste needs her new life to work, and this woman is a threat to that.
Then she meets her. To her surprise, she finds out that Daisy is polite and friendly; a backpacker who is just making her way through the area. Quickly, Celeste begins an unlikely and beneficial friendship with Daisy--she can't help herself and, besides, Daisy will be moving on to her next stop soon. Why not take advantage of the extra help?
Both women have secrets they want to keep buried, and when a body is discovered in the glades near Celeste's house, they must move quickly to prove their innocence and protect the lives they've built for themselves.
My Review:
Oh, man, this was another fantastic mystery from K.L./Kelley Armstrong! I just love her books, and this was another really great one! I loved these characters, and I wanted to know what the heck was going on! It was such an amazing story!
I thought I had the characters and their story pegged, that it'd be going this way from the clues that we got that turned out to be red herrings. So that big twist came out of nowhere for me, and wow was it shocking but boy was it great! I had no idea where things would go from there, but I had to keep reading!
We get the perspective of Celeste, this lady in a broken down house, and Daisy, who is taking some time to travel, and ends up in Celeste's garden shed. I loved how their stories flowed, getting to know them, and the secrets that they were keeping!
That ending was incredible! I loved how it came together, and all the reveals that had to happen for it to work. I loved how things worked out, and where we left these characters, though it would've been nice with just a little more detail, but I always want more!
This was another amazing book from K.L. Armstrong, and I can't wait for whatever is next!
