I absolutely loved this book! Anne’s vivid descriptions of the town of Muskoka made me feel as though I had grown up there myself. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end, and the ending completely caught me off guard. It was an incredible read from start to finish, and I can’t wait to see what Anne writes next!

Loved Adeline and Lennie in this. Both of them dashing with things going on around them. The suspense has me on the edge of my seat. This really captured my attention with the way it was written. It didn’t taste kind to pull me in at all and keep me guessing. I loved the twists and turns in this. An awesome read..
