Ok ... just WOW! Wow. WOW. Wow. Geez ... guess I better come up with some other words, eh?

Two years ago, Cate was put in jail for burning down a barn - and harming a girl who had gone to the aid of the animals inside. Now she's out - and she's coming back for her brother Jamie.

I guessed early on where this story was going but, for once, the fact that I figured it out before the reveal, didn't annoy me to death! The story unfolded so beautifully and poetically that I appreciated the journey despite the suspicions about the ending. And the ending? Oh there was enough of a twist there despite my suspicions.

I nearly passed this book by. It had been on my TBR shelf and that shelf was near-collapse. But, I picked it up to read the first few pages - and then just couldn't put it down. Turns out, this is one of my favorites for the year.

Wow. (Had to get one more in there!)
