4.5 stars. Fantastic! Would have gone for 5, but the end wasn’t as good as I was hoping.

Coming off "Angels Fall" this just couldn't even compare. I was so bored at the beginning. Way too much description and thoughts. I don't feel we needed so much background. I did enjoy the romance between Cade/Tory and Faith/Wade. I actually think Faith was a very complex character. I was disappointed there was no conclusion to the Margaret situation. Not with her kids or with how hateful she was to Tory. I had been suspicious of the actual killer but then thought he would have been too young. Him as the killer just wasn't believable to me which ruined the reveal. I actually think the judge would have been perfect since Margaret was so close to him. It would have been true irony since she blamed Tory for Hope's death. The psychic parts were interesting to me.

Pretty darn good
There was a lot to keep you twisting and wondering. And I don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad on the many different ways I thought this story would go, lol. But as always, Nora Roberts did a wonderful job with making you believe you were there in the book with everyone.

I really enjoyed how the identity of the murderer was hidden from the reader. It made the suspense even more thrilling. Also, I loved the characterizations that Nora Roberts provided.
