3.5 stars for this one! I was so excited for a paranormal romantic suspense thriller by Christine Feehan! I am all about paranormal and this looked like the perfect book.
Stella has been having nightmares of serial killers ever since she was a child. It started with her dad and she knew about all the things he did and her mother tried to tell her she was crazy. At the age of 4 she started seeing things no child should see, but she was made to think these things weren't real. As she got older, and was in foster care, she had one person who believed in her and she helped to save lives.
Stella now lives on Sunrise Lake and has a lot of friends that she loves and trusts, but none more than Sam. He came into her life and never asked questions. He sits by her side and is there for her everyday. He knows her better than anyone and she doesn't want to ruin their friendship by asking more from him. Sam is like a ghost. He works for Stella and doesn't talk about his past. He came in and started working and wanted to stay off the grid. When Stella begins having nightmares again, Sam is by her side, and their feelings start to grow.
I absolutely loved Sam. He was broody and quiet and the perfect gentleman.
There was a lot of build up and this book was really long. There could have been a lot that was taken out and it might have made the story better. I would like to say I didn't guess the killer the first time I was introduced to him, but I did. That made it a little bit of a let down for me, but the story still had great chemistry and suspense. I will read more by this author for sure. Thank you to Netgalley, Berkley and Christine Feehan for an early copy.
