My Review:
The
mystery and suspense in this book left me on the edge of my seat. Whitney makes the characters come alive and
shine on the pages. Megan Kincaid is truly
a heroine to look up to; she has a strong sense of duty and an endearing stubbornness
that helps her through her ordeals with Jeremy. This is a fast read that will
keep you guessing until the very end.
