Raegan has just used her ability to help River Junction Police Officer Jesse Hendricks solve the eleven-year-old cold case of a missing local mother and her newborn baby daughter when she arrives home to discover that, after thirty years in hiding, her mother Danielle is home and the family is finally complete again.

But they can’t go on with their lives just yet. The nefarious Faust men are on a mission to find late River Junction resident Jack Hughes’ legendary stash of gold – and they believe that Danielle’s unique psychic abilities will help them find it. They will stop at nothing to have her.

Along with Jesse Hendricks, Raegan and her family formulate a brilliant but dangerous plan to track down Jack Hughes’ gold before the Fausts do – and find the evidence they need to finally take the Fausts down after decades of terrorizing not only their family, but also the residents of River Junction. Can they set the beleaguered city – and themselves – free? Or will they find themselves at the mercy of the evil Faust family forever?

I think this book did a good job a closing the storyline for these characters, which was to be expected for a third/final book of the series. There was just some redundancy with Danielle’s POV part. I overall really enjoyed this whole series! It was an unexpected surprise.

I read this in 2 days. I loved following Reagan's story. She wasn't always likable, but I think I really liked that about her. It made her feel more real. Overall I enjoyed this series and am excited to read more for this author.

This was the slowest of the series, and part of the book could have been left out as it repeats itself.
