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…

Loved the melding of crime and psychological thriller

Loved the store and the performance was awesome. Great story about love, trust and doing the write things especially when they are the hardest.

The perfect amount of spooky.

I Absolutely Loved this book. I was a smidgen hesitant because I wasn’t sure if I would be into the mind games of it, but I’m glad I took the plunge. I’m not sure if it is meant to be a true standalone or starting something else, but I would definitely be interested in more of these characters. I was able to listen to the audio version as well as reading it, and the narrator did such fantastic job of bringing the story to life. Thea was such an interesting character. Following along with how her mind works had me on the edge of my seat. Throw in a single dad neighbor in the form of Ty and I’m sold. Little Bray was a great addition to the book. I definitely recommend this one.

Unique Romantic Suspense

This romantic suspense is different. Thea’s parents were murdered when she was 12 years old. The murderer has the same psychic abilities that she, her mother, and her grandmother has except he used his to murder and steel from people instead of helping people. He could get into Thea’s mind as she could get into his, and that is where the fighting happened over 15 years. Finally, Thea had enough and it was time to stop him. The premise is unique. The conflict is interesting, and the romance between Thea and the hero is gorgeous. I love how the secondary characters were written and the role they played. There isn’t a who done it, but ultimately a good vs evil showdown to save Thea’s sanity and her life.

TW: murder of parents on page, witnessed by a 12-year-old child.
