Engaging read
This series has keep me coming back for more. I feel just as invested as Zoe and finding out what is going on in her hometown. This one had quite a few surprises that I wasn’t expecting and kept me going to the end. The end left me wanting more and ready for the next one to come out.

Too much talk not enough plot
I thoroughly enjoyed the first five books in the series. I was eager to begin the sixth, but I found myself skipping over much of the dialogue and not enjoying it as much as the others. I’ll move on to the seventh mystery book.

what a convoluted mess!
Turmoil, destruction, devastating revelations, both personal and social, despair and heartbreak.
Enough trauma for one novel!
This volume ends on both an emotional and social/law enforcement cliffhanger.

Troubled times
Wow! Everything keeps happening and it's not good. There are fires, people getting hurt, and Zoe's family trying to work things out. This book caught my attention on the first page and ended at the last page.

Hooked!
I love all of these books. You get to know the characters, and then wham. The book ends and you can't wait for the next one.
