I am always excited for a new Rockton novel. This one did not disappoint. The action picks up immediately after the end of the last novel making the series run seamlessly. We get to find out a bit more about Casey, Rockton and its residents, which is a rich source material that author Kelley Armstrong knows how to utilize. Learning about Casey’s family was interesting although, in one of the very few issues with these books, it seems unbelievable that her parents would have behaved a certain way being “scientists” and considering themselves “overachieving medical geniuses”. Either way, Kelley Armstrong can do no wrong in my opinion. A must read!!

Wow!

Basically, without going into too much detail about the plot it’s about newly married Jane Forrester becomes a social worker in 1960’s Grace County she encounters families that are poor beyond her comprehension, events occur that will change her and the families lives forever.

It’s slightly depressing but the story is SO good and the ends justifies the means, literally! I don’t know why I seem to review books that end up making me cry, I guess I’m just a big softy. It’s not a romantic story, it’s political for the time. It’s worth reading if just for the ending!
