New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh welcomes you to a remote town on the edge of the world where even the blinding brightness of the sun can't mask the darkness that lies deep within a killer…
On the rugged West Coast of New Zealand, Golden Cove is more than just a town where people live. The adults are more than neighbors; the children, more than schoolmates.
That is until one fateful summer—and several vanished bodies—shatters the trust holding Golden Cove together. All that's left are whispers behind closed doors, broken friendships, and a silent agreement not to look back. But they can't run from the past forever.
Eight years later, a beautiful young woman disappears without a trace, and the residents of Golden Cove wonder if their home shelters something far more dangerous than an unforgiving landscape.
It's not long before the dark past collides with the haunting present and deadly secrets come to light.
My Review:
Wow, this book was really fantastic! I've really enjoyed Nalini Singh's books, but this is her first contemporary mystery. I'd argue that a lot of her paranormal books often have mysteries, but this is the first straight up mystery. Though I haven't read her contemporary romances...
One of the biggest parts of this book is the atmosphere. This book is set in a small town, Golden Cove, on the edge of the world, it seems, in New Zealand, where it's rough and survival isn't a almost certain guarantee. The atmosphere is a reason behind almost every decision, like the search for the missing girl.
Both of our main characters have secrets, of awful things in their pasts. It's why they're here in this small town. Anahera grew up in the town and couldn't wait to get away as a child, and she did. And now she's back. Will is a newcomer, and I really enjoyed watching them navigate this town together!
The mystery, wow, it took some pretty interesting twists! I was not expecting that, and yeah, it was fantastic to read! I wouldn't mind more contemporary mysteries from Nalini Singh, if it didn't affect getting more books from her Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunters series!
Loved this book so much, it was a really fantastic read!
