Summary

Christina swore she'd never return to her hometown of Hidden Creek, Georgia again. Her upbringing there could only be described as torture at best. She never asked for the unusual abilities she possesses, but was quite certain they would torment her the rest of her life. After spending years hiding and trying to escape the judgement and abuse of her family and the cruel people of Hidden Creek, she's finally come to terms with her gift. Now she wants nothing more than to forget the past and get on with her life. But with her parents' sudden passing, it now falls on Christina to return and take care of everything. With her parents gone, she finally hopes to close this dark chapter of her life and leave Hidden Creek behind for good. That is, until she finds herself mysteriously drawn to the intoxicating gentleman next-door, who seems to share a strange and unusual bond with her.

Michael has spent years in the military and on the police force in Atlanta. After almost losing his life in a brutal betrayal by his crooked partner, he's decided to leave the force and take up residence in sleepy, stress-free Hidden Creek, where he meets Christina, a mysterious, raven-haired beauty with uncanny abilities. He'd always thought of himself as a rational person. He didn't buy into in crazy things like ghosts, spirits, demons, or other paranormal witchcraft nonsense. But now he must be losing it, as a strange apparition begins appearing at the foot of his bed each night.

Potential not realised

This was from an experienced writer so it is surprising that this book felt desperately in need of a really good editor. The bones of the plot were really good but the final product left me feeling cheated. There was no real development in the relationship of the H and h. They became a couple pretty much immediately, notwithstanding the illogical protestations of the h that somehow she was not suppose to fall in love.

The “special abilities” were easy to interpret which meant there was no tantalising hints or any sort of mystery. Furthermore, after a while it seemed almost every character had some sort of “special ability” which conveniently developed to move the story along. The “bad guy” just came out of nowhere, with a whole back story of the trauma he had caused suddenly being slotted into the book to explain his appearance. Several other plot strands were thrown in but never developed and major issues treated with annoying brevity (adopted son reunited with parents, two strangers discovering they are brothers, several characters suddenly developing physic abilities, childhood abuse, small town bullying)

The epilogue was a blatant attempt to get the reader to buy the next book. Can I just point out to any writer who reads these reviews: If a book is good, we will buy the next one. In this case the obvious attempt to get me to read the next book was just irritating, with the last sentence adding to the irritation by introducing a mysterious new character, and announcing the arrival of even more “special abilities”.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
