This is the second in the Deer Lake story. It focuses on Ellen’s side of trying to get justice for Josh and what his family has gone threw. New characters are introduced and the psychological warfare continues. The one thing that I don’t enjoy as much was that Mitch and Meagan are more on the sidelines in this story and I feel like they could have been a little more present. Otherwise a good book.

Review:
This my first time reading a book by Tami Hoag let alone in a series so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i was very hopeful i'd like it since its a Thriller, one of My TOP 5 Favorite Genre's BUT sadly this one was just TOO SLOW Starting for me and i didnt care for The Prosecuter and Client on Trial CONSTANTLY Arguing i felt it took away from the storyline.
The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Ellen was definately My Favorite. I loved how Determined she was to find out who kidnapped The Victim before its too late.
The Setting was wonderfully described which made me feel like i was actually in Minnesota while reading especially when the scenery was described.
Overall an OK Book 2 in this Thriller Series. If it hadnt started off so slow and picked up from the beginning opposed to Chapter 4 i probably would of liked it more.
I will read more by Tami in the future, i just hope all her other books arent as slow starting as this one was.

I just want to make it clear I’m so damn happy Hannah and Tom got together at the end. Hannah freaking deserves it.
Now to my pros and cons
Pros:
Liked the part Karen played
I enjoyed the POVs
Enjoyed the overall story
Cons:
The story could of been shorter
Trying to get to the point of the plot was dragging

I like this one slightly better than the first one, but not by much. This one felt more fast-paced, but like the first one, a whole lot of nothing happened in the middle. When I read a mystery thriller I like piecing the clues together along with the characters and in this duology we weren't really given any pieces to put together. The big reveal in the end didn't really build up--it was more like dropped towards the end, and then the final fight scene happened, and then it was concluding and was done. All the action happened in the last several chapters.
I am disappointed in this duology because I've read a number of Tami Hoag's books before and the mystery in those books were so much better. I'd skip Night Sins and Guilty as Sin, and pick up her Oak Knoll series instead.

Could not put this book down, read it in 2 days. This is the follow up to Night Sins. The book follows the kidnapping of 2 8 y.o. boys in a rural Minnesota county. Lots of twists and suspense.

rather than try putting books in a 'not interested' folder, I'm going to claim I read them and give a low rating. Putting in not interested, the algorithm seems to think I like the book.

I liked the first book Night Sins better but the story kept me reading and the end was okay even tho I had guessed pretty early who the accomplice was.
