A decent romance and a satisfying bit of mystery as well. I was a little frustrated in the first half when the book wouldn't just come out and say why Anna had turned Reed down in the first place; that was transparent and cheap tension-building, and that reveal was overdone. But overall that was a fairly minor complaint. I surprised myself by liking the psychic visions angle; it's not something I actually believe in, nor a fictional trope I'm generally over-fond of, but here I thought it was done well - an otherworldly touch, but not overplayed. I liked the characters, particularly Anna, and I liked her relationship with her brother as well. The romance was rather on the one-note and predictable side, although I liked the twist that fixed everything in the end, even if it was just smidge too perfect; the setup was legitimately there. And the mystery made up, in my mind, for any thinness in the romantic plot. It honestly kept me guessing: I thought I had called the killer halfway through, but I was wrong! Definitely an enjoyable read.

It was great! I should have figured it out sooner but missed all the clues!

I just couldn't connect with the characters, in fact, I thought that Anna was quite stupid. I decided to try this one because of the premise of second chance romance but, they only knew each other for a month when they "fell in love", and the author never developed how they fell in love, just told us that they were, so I couldn't really believe in said "love". The whole book was "meh". I don't think I'll try another book in this series.

Anna Holcombe and her brother have a family secret which means that, even though she loved Reed Moreland, she turned down his marriage proposal. The reason Reed even met her, living out in the country, is that he bough her uncle's estate. Now, knowing that Anna rejected him. He wants to sell. Except that he keeps having dreams that she is in trouble. And he just wants to make sure that she is okay.
For now she is, but someone is killing the local townspeople. And an old legend is resurrected. One that could bring the Holcombe family's secret out into the open.
A fun book with interesting characters.
