My Thoughts:
First off, I hate coming into a book in the middle of a series! I am one of those women who like to read from the first book to get the whole history! With that being said, this book was awesome! From the moment I opened it, I could not put it down. I felt the heartache of a mother as she buries her children, the suspense as she searches for the truth, and learning to trust and be able to love!
