My first Lisa Jackson, and I can’t say I enjoyed it. The characters were shallow, not very developed. There was so much back and forth I feel it could have been condensed. The resolution felt random and not planned out. Not sure I’ll pick up another Lisa Jackson, unfortunately.

This was a good story. The mystery of it wasnt strong but the storytelling kept me interested enough to see how it ended.

Four year old London Danvers was at her fathers birthday party and disappeared with her nanny. Rewards were offered, pleas to bring her back were left unheard and unchanged for over twenty years. Now Adria Nash has arrived in Portland, Oregon looking for answers. A deathbed confession has her wondering if she is indeed London. She is met with resistance though head on with three potential brothers and a venomous sister. Despite their effort to drive her off, she is determined to find out the truth which puts her in danger.
Zachary Danvers, the black sheep of the family can't stay away from London. She looks like her mothers twin but she has confidence about her that is left unmatched. He doubts she is London but as she begins to uncover the past Zach begins to question everything he knows. Will they figure out who is trying to kill London or will it be too late?
This was page turning suspense until the end. The end is a bit abrupt in a sense and had me asking questions about the aftermath. I thought the story was clever, figured out one part right away but also had a surprise twist that I didn't see coming.

This book had a very original plot, but that’s where the good parts of the story end. To try and make finishing the book more bearable, I made up a drinking game. Take a shot any time:
- the word “sensual” is used
- the author uses a word incorrectly
- we get to hear in great detail how a male is becoming aroused
- the phrase “looks so damn much like Kat” is used
- you think you’re going to puke from all the cheese
- incest or a weird sexual relationship of some kind pops up
Save yourself the time and skip this one. Yuck.

I received this book free in the Goodreads giveaway from Kensington-books. **CONTAINS SPOILERS**
Let me 1st say that I love Lisa Jackson but I hated this book & it also took me forever to read. I was creeped out & disgusted with the premise of the two main characters Adria/London & Zach trying to find out it she was really his half sister yet still having sex. The whole incest angle & the longing looks plus the comparison that she looks just like her mother Kat (who Zach also had sex with as a teenager) was just too much. The other siblings & rival family were part of the story too. The powerful brother, the weakling brother, & messed up sister. I just couldn't get into this book but I did finally finish it. The actual killer (s) were a surprise. Good luck if you are going to read this. I won't waste any more review because it's not worth it
