aperfectmjk's review against another edition

Another great book by Loreth Anne White
Unlike her other book 'A Dark Lure' I found that the character development did not distract from the plot. This time around you learn about the characters as the plot begins to thicken. This was a pleasant surprise as I had my doubts when starting this book. Meg, is portrayed as somewhat of an enigma. Her life in Seattle is turned upside down when the demons from her past won't allow her to commit to the future. In desperation she flees back to Shelter Bay to rid these demons once and for all so that she can finally live the life she was meant to have... or so she thought. Once back in Shelter Bay she sets out to uncover the truth about her sister's murder and what really took place on the spit that night. Along the way Meg begins to realize that she's not the person she thought she was, that the real Meg had been left back in Shelter Bay along. Not only does she uncover truths within herself, she finds out just what truths had been buried the day she left Shelter Bay behind.

An okay read for me. I didn't really click with any of the characters, but the story was pretty good. The last hundred pages or so were fun and action-packed. And while I couldn't predict who the culprit was, the very last chapter came as absolutely no surprise. All right, so Blake's hand is stuck. There is an axe right there.
