Synopsis

Welcome to East Salem. A deceptively sleepy town where ancient supernatural forces are being awakened.A local high-school girl is found murdered in a park amid horse farms and the wealthy homes of northern Westchester County, New York. The shocking manner of her death intrigues forensic psychiatrist Dani Harris. All the suspects are teenagers who were at a party with the girl—yet none remembers what happened. Could one of them be a vicious killer? Or is something more sinister afoot—something tied to an ancient evil?Across town, former NFL linebacker Tommy Gunderson finds his state-of-the-art security system has been breached by an elderly woman. Mumbling threats in Latin, she attacks him with an uncanny, preternatural strength. Before he has time to process the attack, someone close to him is implicated in the girl’s murder at the park. He agrees to help—and finds himself working with Dani, the only girl who could resist his charm years ago when they were in high school.A heavy darkness is spreading. Yet a heavenly force is also at work.Dani and Tommy suspect there’s more to the mystery than murder, more to their growing friendship than chance . . . and more to the evil they’re facing than a mere human killer.

3...Solid...What us looking to be a telling of an End of Day...Characters are great, if a little bit 90's romantic comedy...Sometimes a bit dramatic, yet it has left me wondering enough to check out the ones in the trilogy, even other novels from these authors.........more

Goodreads review by Donnelle on June 29, 2013

Others have brilliantly summarized the plot, so my review will focus more on my overall impressions of the book. In all honesty, when I was 100 or even 125 pages into it, reading it felt more like a chore than an enjoyable endeavor. Though the action begins early on with a murder that is gruesome and......more

Goodreads review by Heather on April 16, 2018

4.5 stars - would have been five if I didn't have to read the rest of the series in order to find out what happens with the main bulk of the story.

Historic East Salem may not be the sleepy little town it seems. Things are a bit off, especially when it comes to the supernatural. Forensic psychiatrist Dani Harris and former football star Tommy Gunderson form an uneasy alliance in order to solve the tragic murder of a local teenage girl. All of t......more
