Thank you so much to PRH Audio for the complimentary audio!

This book is out now.

This is my 2nd Adrienne Young book and I really need to go back and read her non fantasy books! She has this way of writing that just draws you in. Just like with the last book I read by her (Spells for Forgetting) she gives you this atmospheric description that allows you to picture the setting clearly.  This is a mystery about a woman who comes back to her hometown after leaving years ago to settle her brother's affairs after his sudden death. She doesn't feel that the death was just an accident but that he was murdered. She just feels like something wasn't right and starts doing her own investigating. She learns a lot about her brother whom she thought she knew but really didn't. Also coming back to her hometown allowed her to face on some of the demons she was running from. 

Even though the book was not very long, I felt that the pacing was a little slow. Seeing her interact with those in her past especially with her first love Micah really kept me going (when he said "Don't go back to San Francisco" - swoon). I was invested in the story enough to want to see how it ends. I want to try to be vague but there was a storyline/theory that was a lead and I found that to be very intriguing! There ends up being two mysteries that get solved in this. I was not able to piece together the reveal so it did surprise me when it happened. 

I paired my reading with the audio and queen Christine Lakin knocked it out of the park! I love any of the books I listened to with her narrating. She just has a way of bringing out these characters while also make listening to the story so relaxing. 

PS: This cover is absolutely gorgeous and drew me in without even knowing what this was about!!
