Good pace, and I liked how she didn't expect to trust him, but did eventually. What I didn't like was how formulaic the romance seemed to be. Obviously both are good-looking, obviously both are smart and effective and driven, obviously…

Great opening novel to the Cainsville series! I'm a fan of Kelley's from reading the Otherworld series, and she has transitioned well into a new world. The characters are intriguing and the paranormal aspect is quite different from…

A whodunit steeped in paranormal elements. Great characters and a cracking plot are the draw here.

I disliked this book and did not finish it. I struggled through more than half the novel, hoping for improvement in the content, when I finally snapped it closed, angry with myself from the effort. I guess tales of the paranormal are not…

A subtly eerie novel with almost gentle forebodings. A smooth read.

Fast paced with good wit. Liked that there weren't drawn-out sexual trysts. The author developed of an intriguing story line - much different from the usual classic themes. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

A patron review from the Adult Summer Reading Game: "The first of a series I'm really going to enjoy. Olivia Taylor-Jones discovers she is actually Eden Larsen, a daughter of convicted serial killers. She is trying to confirm if they are…

I love this book. I love that it is not bogged down with romance and the characters were all very mature. Maybe a few were eccentric, but definitely all adult. The plot was amazing and suspenseful and it wasn't real heavy on the paranormal…

There are a lot of hidden twists and turns in the plot. It will take awhile for everything to become untangled and this is just the start. I certainly didn't engage with the characters as quickly as I did with the women of otherworld…

I am actually pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did! I've never really been drawn to Armstrong's work before but this was really interesting and a great, fast read. I couldn't put my iPad down. Olivia…

An atmospheric and spooky thriller with some great characters, especially the attractive and mysterious Gabriel. A promising start to a new series for Canadian author Kelley Armstrong.

I'm a fan of Kelley Armstrong's work but I picked this book up thinking it was going to be small paranormal romantic novel. I was definitely wrong it's a whole lot more. This book is more of a mystery packed adventure that slithers over to…

A promising start to a new series. I hope we're not left waiting too long for the next book.

For me this book was Amazing, I've read both her YA books and her adult books which i have liked all the way through, but this one for me blew me away, the characters were fantastic, the intrigue of each one, wondering who they are and…

Really loved this book, I've read one of her teen novels before and it was enjoyable but I think her adult writing is more to my style. There were definitely parts that left me wanting more, which is why this is a series, and I hope that…

I enjoyed this new book by Kelley Armstrong, but I certainly don't think it lived up to the publicity hype leading up to its release. The main characters are intriguing, but the story didn't go as deep as some other similar books that I've…
