My rating: 4/5
I received this book free from BookSneeze in exchange for a review.
I really enjoy reading supernatural thrillers. This book drew me in with that element and the setting is East Salem so it started off on a good note from the beginning. The author has a way with the scenic details so that you find yourself in the middle of the action. So real you can almost feel the Autumn mist touch your face and smell the blood that has been spilled by the murderer.
The main character, Dani, is a likable person. She's smart, pretty, and knows what she wants to do with her life. Combining her with an old love interest was genius! They knew each other in high school so they have history. Very good chemistry in this story-line. I'm not much for romance in the books I read, but the author just touched on this subject and I really appreciate this move.
As for the murder and supernatural element, the book is suspenseful and well laid out. It's one of those books where you think you know who the murderer is, but you don't find out until the end, which is they way a book should be written. Who wants to know the ending before even getting to the second chapter?
The reader is given the murder, the suspects, a few creepy moments, and a thrilling ending. Well, it's not actually an ending, because this is the first book in a trilogy, so there's more to come! Lis Wiehl definitely made me want more, so I look forward to the next book!
