For fans of the bestsellers The Sanatorium and The Guest List, the latest novel in this atmospheric series, set in a former insane asylum on a remote island off the coast of Maine, is laden with Gothic atmosphere and brilliantly plotted twists and turns. Somewhere inside Halcyon Hall, the elite spa with an infamous past on a remote Maine island, are the answers state trooper Mae Montgomery desperately needs to solve a murder investigation. To find them, she's checking into the exclusive retreat under an assumed name-that of her late sister, a former model. But at least one person isn't fooled. Fitness trainer Bode James grew up on Bane Island and took it upon himself to transform the former psychiatric hospital into a wellness resort. But a killer still lurks here. Bode already lost the mother of his child. And though he believes Mae is there under false pretenses, he also fears that without her help, more people will die. Mae blames Bode for contributing to her sister's death. But who can be trusted at Halcyon Hall? Beneath its history of dead and missing women is a legacy of evil that must be reckoned with at last, before it buries them all . . . PRAISE FOR LISA CHILDS "Atmospheric, emotional, and well-told." -New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde on The Runaway "Grabs you from page one. . . . Lisa Childs paints an eerie, haunting suspense that will keep you riveted until the very last page!" -Rita Herron, USA Today bestselling author on The Runaway "A page-turning romantic thriller. Bane Island may be a dangerous place, but readers will look forward to coming back." -Publishers Weekly on The Hunted.… (more)

Having no idea that this was an installment in a series I was hooked by the description and dove in headfirst. But then I hit a rock, knocked myself out, put the book down and waited a bit to pick it up again. So this is all on me because maybe if I had read any of the previous installments I might have been able to ease myself into Childs’ style and what was going on. Instead I just got annoyed and more annoyed at the neediness and wrong-footed goings on. There were so many staggering wrong assumptions - did I mention how annoyed I got?! “This time I’m armed” - really ? People go missing, weird noises are all around, people accusing and threatening bodily harm, and now you decide to carry your gun?! To be fair I am going to shoulder it all and just say that the story had great potential but it didn’t work for me and unfortunately it didn’t encourage me to go back and start at the beginning of the series.

Thanks to Zebra Books / Kensington Publishers and NetGalley for a copy. ( )
