She thought she could escape the past. But now it’s found her…
Erin is determined to begin a new chapter in her life. Having freed herself from her violent and abusive ex, she’s starting over on a remote island where she can lead a peaceful, quiet life.
But then she meets Dominic. He is pushy and won’t take no for an answer. Given her history, Erin feels nervous of him – how far will he go to get what he wants? Even worse, Erin discovers her ex-husband has been released from prison. Will he come after her again?
And her terror only increases when it becomes clear there is a killer loose on the island.
Refusing to live in fear any longer, she devises a dangerous plan to unmask the killer. But in so doing she stumbles across the deadly secret at the heart of this island community, a discovery more terrifying than anything she could ever have imagined…
My Review
This was an interesting book. Erin is running from an abusive past they may be trying to catch back up with her. She’s moved across the country to escape it, but now women are dying in her new town. Are they related? Is Erin in jeopardy? It was a little hard to like Erin, but I was interested in who was killing the women. And I loved Kiara and all her rescue dogs. I hope she is based off of someone with a really big heart.
We have a quick read that kept me guessing for a while before I ultimately figured it all out, but I am pretty good at that. There are a few trigger warnings including abuse, but it happens before the story starts. Fairly quick paced.
