Publisher's Summary

Some things shouldn't be seen....

Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee. Deep in the Smoky Mountains, the victim lies, sacrificed on a makeshift altar - the gruesome work of a killer who has evaded the authorities in state after state. FBI agent Dallas Sloan knows the scene all too well - just as he knows the killings won't stop until there are four more bodies.

Some warnings won't be heeded....

Genny Madoc's "sixth sense" has brought many of Cherokee Pointe's residents to her isolated log cabin, looking for help. But now it's Genny who needs help from the disturbing visions she sees - images that are getting stronger and more violent day by day.

Some fears can't be stopped....

Thrown together by necessity, drawn to each other by desire, Dallas and Genny must band together, searching the darkest heart of a town's hidden secrets before a twisted killer can complete a sinister plan that will make one of them the fifth victim.

Overly Sexual but interesting characters

I was into the setting / town / characters but like many other reviews state, it just had so much sex. And graphic. The murders were sexual and then there was so much richly described other sex that you just kind of felt gross. Spoiler: I did enjoy the natural element where one of the main characters could connect with animals. That’s basically it.

A little disappointing

I would have enjoyed more of the story without the graphic love scenes. Much too much emphasis put on that I thought. I’m not a prude believe it or not. Lol

Two dimensional characters

I had trouble with several aspects of this work. What stood out for me were the stereotypical macho men and their counterpart females who took up so much of the story,

Like bad fan fiction written by a 16 year old

Predictable and badly written. The love story is laughable like some junior high school fantasy.

Too over the top.

It’s like a psychic Snow White meets serial killer. Throw in a lover and telepathic nonsense and voila, you got this book. I made myself finish it because I started it, but it was brutal. So ridiculous it was laughable. 😂
