Resumen del Editor

"Narrator January LaVoy brings a richly layered performance to a story.... She expertly handles the large cast of multigenerational characters"—AudioFile on Hideaway

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Identity presents a suspenseful new novel of tragedy and trauma, love and family, and the evil that awaits.

As they do each June, the Foxes have driven the winding roads of Appalachia to drop off their children for a two-week stay at their grandmother’s. Here, twelve-year-old Thea can run free and breathe in the smells of pine and fresh bread and Grammie’s handmade candles. But as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they have no idea they’re about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.

Back in Kentucky, Thea and her grandmother Lucy both awaken from the same nightmare. And though the two have never discussed the special kind of sight they share, they know as soon as their tearful eyes meet that something terrible has happened.

The kids will be staying with Grammie now in Redbud Hollow, and thanks to Thea’s vision, their parents’ killer will spend his life in supermax. Over time, Thea will make friends, build a career, find love. But that ability to see into minds and souls still lurks within her, and though Grammie calls it a gift, it feels more like a curse—because the inmate who shattered her childhood has the same ability. Thea can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil acts from miles away. He knows it, and hungers for vengeance. A long, silent battle will be waged between them—and eventually bring them face to face, and head to head…

Compelling and romantic

Nora does it again! This story seems so real! I read it in two days! I love the characters and the story! I’m rereading it again to savor!

Mind reading/psychic ability

I enjoyed the story very much!
I think toward the end, it got a little unrealistic, but not very knowledgeable in the ability of psychic powers.

speechless!!

I have to say this is one of the best books that Nora Roberts has written. it kept my interest it made you feel like you were right there with the characters that you could feel their emotions. fabulous! fabulous I can't say enough good about this. yes it was a long audio book but January LaVoy did a fantastic job the way she did all the voices it was just I'm speechless! so so good!!

The whole story line the family sticking together threw all that pain

I love the whole story I even read it three times.January LaVoy always great she is so talented

Unique, griping story with the ideal narrator

Psychological thrillers aren’t my favorite, but Nora Roberts never disappoints! This is a well crafted, unique take on the psychological tale.
January Lavoy narrates the character and the emotions perfectly!
10 out of 10 on all counts!

Solid story, world class narrator.

I think I could listen to an instruction manual narrated by January Lavoie and be in heaven.

This is a solid and enjoyable story. It lumbers along a little bit and the ending could be a little better, and I’m sorry if I sound like a picky reviewer, but it’s a good story.

However the reason I purchased it was the incredible narrator January Lavoie. She is just a treasure. And I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her on this one.

Superbly Done!

I’ve listened and read a lot of Nora Roberts’ books. This is the BEST ever!

They love

Another awesome book . She the greatest author of mine and always will be , love all her books!!

story was fresh

all of it the scenes felt so real. I was walking down the roads with Thea

Gripping from opening lines

Nora has out done herself with this one. So many highs and lows. A story of family bonds and talents beyond understanding. Crying one minute then laughing the next. Goes in my top five of her books. At the moment it’s #1.
