Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

The story started good but by the end I was devastated. I probably will never read another Rebecca Yarrow book. I never leave written reviews but this was so needlessly heartbreaking.

Literally every other character is portrayed as racist. It's tiresome. Not very cohesive the way the narrative bounces around. Not enough character depth yet to relate or favor anyone.

This is the first series by this author that I've read. Now on my favorite list. The characters are brought to life and you are pulled in completely. I recommend.

If not for the stories in this series I wouldn't be able to stomach all the pushing politics and race bating. Its constant preaching that every white person is racist.

Miah Gray is a 27-year-old former army soldier living in rural New Hampshire with his sister, mother, and her boyfriend. He is plagued by PTSD, finding solace, but not redemption, with the aid of prescribed cannabis. All he wants to do is get high, relax with a good sandwich, and watch a meteor shower with his neighborhood crush, Jen. When the sun's light is blotted out the following morning and the world is plunged into darkness, Miah finds himself locked down with his family, covering windows with trash bags, lighting candles, and following the arcane rules of an ancient prophecy.

Supposed to be a Thriller/mystery
Reviewed: 10-31-21
It could have been a good story. Instead it was very soap opera-ish. I struggled and even kept skipping forward in an effort to get past the constant mental dialog. The majority of which was centered on juvenile like sexual thoughts between main characters. If you cut out just half of that boring drivel it would have taken hours off the book. Then maybe it would have stayed true to the genre instead of coming off as a generic high school romance with a bad guy situation so the 'hero' could save/win the girl. Very disappointed. I generally like Lisa Jackson's books, but it will be a long time before I read another.

On paper, Chris Brennan looks perfect. He's applying for a job as a high school government teacher, he's ready to step in as an assistant baseball coach, and his references are impeccable. But everything about Chris Brennan is a lie. Susan Sematov is proud of her son Raz, a high school pitcher so athletically talented that he's being recruited for a full-ride scholarship to a Division I college, with a future in major-league baseball. But Raz’s father died only a few months ago, leaving her son in a vulnerable place where any new father figure might influence him for good, or evil.

The main characters were well fleshed out and relatable. The narrator did a great job. All of it was well paced and kept me engaged. I would love to see a series around Kurt/Chris either his exploits as an agent leading up to now or with Heather and Jordan going forward. Lisa Scottoline never disappoints.

unrealistic character choices
Reviewed: 09-10-21
The story is not bad but I'm not even finished yet and had to stop and write out my frustration. Although I've never left a written review before, I feel very frustrated with character actions. Without spoilers the one couple had everything to gain by calling the police to report the extortion. It would have protected them and the adopted son as well as corroborated the others story about the women villan. The main characters wife was unbelievable. Seriously, who let's their self get so sleep deprived to the point of dangerousness with out getting help. That was lamely explained away by saying she couldn't sleep with someone else watching the babies. if you are that exhausted for that long of a duration, your body would over ride your brain. In short I found that most of the characters made ridiculous unbelievable decisions.
