So immersed was I into this spine-tingling suspense that when my phone rang I almost jumped out of my skin, so you may not want to read it alone at night. Coble did a jam up job scaring the living daylights out of me! Quite possibly her best Rock Harbor series book ever, I was totally swept away by the breathtaking beauty of the snowy landscape, frigid lakes, and small town charm. There was nothing about this book I didn't like and Ms. Has her abusive ex found her-and is he and the killer one and the same? As she and her new friend, Boone, search for answers, the heart-pounding tension heats up.romantic and otherwise!

As Dana becomes involved in an investigation of a malevolent serial killer she finds herself being stalked as well. *I received this book from Book Look Bloggers and happily provided my honest review*Īt the behest of so many Rock Harbor fans everywhere, Colleen Coble has stepped up to the plate and finally written another chilling tale of murder and mayhem-set in the gorgeous snow-covered forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.ĩ11 dispatcher, Dana Newell returns to her beloved small town, Rock Harbor, to escape her terrorizing, abusive ex-boyfriend and gets a lot more than she bargained for. So, coming from a conservative Christian viewpoint, this is not the type of book I'd like to read again. The romance was more surface-centered and a few things took place that made me cringe (mentions of going too far, being too close, that type of thing). I could have read it wrong, but it appeared that one couple lived together before marriage (which is Biblically wrong to do). God was mentioned, as was prayer, but it was more of, 'I'll pray for you' and 'God has His good will for your life.' I found it to be somewhat shallow, and the characters in their everyday lives didn't think much about God.Īnother aspect I didn't care for was the romance. I figured it out about halfway and continued in horror of, 'Please be wrong.' (I wasn't wrong)įor me, it was too dark without a good balance of light. It's not just that it was a serial killer, but how closely connected the characters were to people who were being killed. There was no mention of a serial killer (much less one who drowned women), which may have better prepared me for the contents. The back cover did not shed light about how dark the content would be. So, for you readers who are debating whether or not to read this book, here are my thoughts.

I know other readers who enjoy suspense may like this book, but it was not for me. since I'm given permission for my honest review, that is what I'll stick with. Her writing style is enjoyable and well-rounded.Ĭontent. As far as writing style and ability, I admire Coble. I'll be honest up front: this is probably the hardest book review I've had to write.
