Publisher's Summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a seductively suspenseful tale of one woman’s shattered innocence, the terrifying search for truth and a heart’s journey toward healing...

Olivia’s parents were among Hollywood’s golden couples - until the night a monster came and took her mother away forever. A monster with the face of her father...

Sheltered from the truth, an older Olivia only dimly recalls her night of terror - but her recurring nightmares make her realize she must piece together the real story. Now, assisted by Noah Brady, the son of the police detective who found her cowering in her closet so many years before, she may have her chance. Noah wants to reconstruct the night that has become an infamous part of Hollywood history. He also wants to help Olivia and heal the longing in her lonely heart. But once the door to her past is opened, there’s no telling what’s waiting on the other side. For somewhere, not too far away, the monster walks again...

What the critics say

"Her artful manipulation of the plot, contrived so that amour and horror escalate in tandem, reaffirms her ability to deliver entertaining fiction." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Sandra Burr adds her considerable talents to this tightly written romantic thriller. Her child's voice is eerily memorable, her teenage Livy aches of womanhood, but she shines with the adult Livy and Noah. Their sexual tension is palpable, and the story's suspense is even more tightly strung." ( Library Journal)

Nora Roberts is a master!

I have been reading novels by Nora Roberts for the past 25 years. She never fails to amaze me at her incredible story-telling ability. River's End was no exception. Simply a brilliant piece of writing.

Best Narrator

Nora Roberts is my favorite author but I wasn't a fan of this book. I enjoyed the ending but Noah was extremely annoying (way too bossy and pushy). I didn't like the interactions between the two main characters but the plot was good.

storyline was quite good

the story was really very good - not too easy to figure out, however the narrator was just far too melodramatic for my taste - made me roll my eyes constantly

Frustrated w Weak Women

Noah is so obnoxious. Norah Roberts can tell a good story but am tired of female leads not knowing their own emotions, feelings, goals so that they need some obnoxious man to force them to realize that his way is their way. They come across as strong women but really they are weak waiting for a a strong (pushy, obnoxious) man to take them in hand. So frustrating.
