Synopsis

For eight years, single mother Grace Archer has been living a picture-perfect life raising her daughter on a horse farm in the small town of Tallanville, Alabama. Watching Frankie grow into a talented and confident young girl has made Grace as happy as any mother could hope to be. Happy enough, even, to forget the past. But the past never quite goes away. Which is why a certain charismatic man also moved to Tallanville eight years ago to watch over her.

But when violence threatens to shatter Grace and Frankie's idyllic home, the waiting is over. The ghosts of the past have returned. And they're hungry for blood. Now Grace must resume an identity she thought she had cast off forever, and match wits with an opponent as deadly as he is cunning. The prize: an extraordinary secret that only she can unfold. The forfeit: losing the thing more precious to her than life itself.

I loved the action in this novel, right from the start. Despite the excitement, however, some things about the story just didn't thrill me, and left me feeling underwhelmed.

Goodreads review by Mike on November 05, 2019

Not the worst book I ever read but it is more of a romance than a thriller. The protagonist spends most of the book worrying about relationships and the story is light on events.
