Not many stories do this but when they do - it's special!  I love a good book that takes you on a journey, leaves you happy, sad, frightened, mad and just when you think you have it figured out, the climactic turn of events.  What a great story - you don't want to miss this one!!

Gah! Be forewarned: this one leaves you hanging in a beautiful yet must-have-the-next-book kind of way.
Highly enjoyable, Got my attention from page one!
Instantly, I loved the character of Leland and was amused by his unconventional introduction in the novel. I also liked the other characters and overall feel of the story.
The book was so good, I had a hard time putting it down because I wanted to see everything get resolved so that everyone had their happy ending. I really had no idea what was going to happen! Altabtabai did a wonderful job of keeping the suspense going, and keeping me engaged. and I have to confess, I had no idea it would end as it would, but even though it wasn't how I may have ended, the way Altabtabai wrapped things up was wonderful.
This is one of the first books I've read that I thought would make a WONDERFUL MOVIE.
This novel, this ASTOUNDING novel is worthy of its reputation and its mystique. Memorable characters, amazing language and unforgettable story. A great, solid five-star read for sure.

I really enjoyed this one!  Great character development and I was sucked right into the story with the first chapter.  Had a really hard time putting this one down!  If you enjoy a good vampire story with believable characters you will love this one.

I really loved this one!! I cannot remember the last time I read a book so quickly! Didn't want to put it down.  I have heard great things about this author from many friends in the book world but I do not enjoy paranormal reads so I had not read her yet... glad to say that I loved her rhythm and writing style!  Smoking HOT sex scenes and a great cast of characters that I cannot wait to read more about!! and from the sounds of it the stories are going to overlap to an extent - I LOVE THAT in a series!

IMO there was the prefect amount of angst and tribulation without being predictable or clich. I love that Fox and Molly stay together and fight it out for each other. Working through the hard times. It wasn't the typical run away and he has to chase her or run away and she realizes she's wrong and comes crawling back.

Looking forward to MORE! bring on David and Thea's story!

I really enjoyed reading this one! It's not really your typical sappy romance. I liked that there was an element of romance, but the way Meri had been treated in her first marriage made things just a bit different for her as she was falling in love with the man she'd been in love with most of her life. I don't know how to explain it...it just seemed different that way.

I really loved Meri's character. I loved the way she did so many hard things for her kids. I loved the way she held everything together for them, even when she wanted to fall apart. I was pretty surprised by the revelations that she divulges as the book moved on. The reader knows that her life has been hard, but she leaves the reader in the dark just as much as she leaves Elliott in the dark about certain things and that makes the ending work so well!

I liked Elliott too. I liked the way the book switches back and forth between the two perspectives. It just gives the story a more rich feel than it otherwise would have. Elliott is such a gentleman and he really steps up to help when he is needed by Meri, her children or any of the cousins. Yet he has his own secrets that come out as the story goes along as well.

This whole book is full of secrets from almost all of the characters. I didn't realize that until just now as I'm thinking back over the plot. I loved the way the secrets are divulged and keep the plot moving along.

This book is one of my favorites by this author! I loved it!

I have read very few books recently that I just couldn't put down. This is one of them. You'll understand after you read it. Prepare to be totally engrossed in this book!

Jill has been targeted, but by whom? Oh boy, what fun you will have figuring it out...Or trying to figure it out. I was shocked that this new author did such an amazing job with misleading the reader.

  When you are finished, you will be sad because the great characters stay with you and you just want them to go on and on. Someone convince this woman that a sequel is in order. Don't plan on putting it down after the 3rd chapter as it gets way too good! I give it my highest thumbs up.

The description of this book is accurate - it is one of this decade's best books! I read it a long time ago and believe me, it's a 4 star or more, 'put it in your list of favorite books' story. If you're a reader who likes relationships, redemption, and wonderful characters, this is a must-read! In fact, it's worth a second read.

If you are planning on reading this, give yourself some time because you will not want to put it down.  This was an excellent read that brings you in from page 1.  The author Monty Marsden tells a tale about a missing little girl that leads to many other dark twists and turns.  If you try to figure it out along the way, youll just be lost, he has a way of keeping you on your toes. You are just so intrigued and horrified; you just want to figure out where the girl went and what happened to her.

One of the best books Ive read in years.  Once the story starts, there are many stories in one, in the end they all come together perfectly.  I just could not put it down.  Revenge, mystery, and suspense involving the characters and the hunt for the girl.  The hunt for the girl leads to the hunt of many others, including the predator. The investigation is led by a great couple of characters that will have a decision to make in the end, will they do the right thing? Is the right thing always the lawful thing? The ending will have you in awe of all involved. Simply said, a must read!
5 Stars and pair it with your favorite Lambrusco!
