Nora Roberts can create tension and draw readers in like few other authors I’ve read. It’s simple to become part of that emotion, to feel the pain and grief, to experience the highs and lows. This book is no exception. Parts are nearly too graphic and I had to step away to allow the emotions to settle. But, as she always does, Roberts created both characters and resolutions I was happy to know, to experience.

This was a little slow for me.  There was action off the bat and then the whole middle of the book you are waiting for a showdown.  When it happens, it’s a little anticlimactic.  Well drawn out characters and the lifestyle depicted is also well described with cultural norms highlighted in an interesting way.

I wish the kid's name and the bad guys name didn't sound so much alike. Confusing at times.

I received this from Netgalley.com. 

Quick read, interesting characters.  With the ending, I wonder if this will be a new series.  Hope so, I'd read it.
