Publisher's Summary

She thought her prayers had been answered. Now she’s praying for time.

Vanessa Everly is a successful actress in Los Angeles, but she’s still traumatized by the night that ripped her world apart. Eight years ago, Vanessa and her younger sister Roxanne were attacked on the beach in their hometown in Oregon - and Roxanne was kidnapped. Devastated, Vanessa ended her relationship with handsome medical student Christian Montgomery, whose troubled brother Brody was the police’s prime suspect.

Now, Vanessa receives the news she never thought she’d hear: Roxanne is alive. Arriving back in Everly Cliffs, Vanessa is reunited with her sister - and with Christian. Roxanne can’t remember what happened that night, but someone else can.... Who’s making threatening phone calls to Vanessa, and why has Brody suddenly gone missing?

Vanessa’s torment should be over, but it’s about to get much darker....

Reader is not great

The reader has a nice sounding voice but she puts emphasis on weird syllables so the reading comes across as questioning sometimes and snobby or stern other times and just odd other times… overall the tone doesn’t match the story and it’s distracting.

The story itself is fine. Not a great work of literature but nice enough.

disappointing, but free, so...

Terrible. Predictable. Painful at times. Sorry to be so negative, but I'm being honest:(

Not my style

I hate to be negative, and usually go by the rule that if I can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. It could have been a good mystery, but the editing was poor. It was too saccharine for my taste. The plural of reindeer is reindeer. However, others may enjoy this novel.
