Resumen del Editor

Nadia Williams needs somewhere peaceful to sort through her grief after her mother is brutally murdered. She finds a cozy cabin at the side of a tranquil lake in the quaint town of Misted Pines in the Pacific Northwest.

The minute she arrives, she knows it’s perfect.

The very night of her arrival, however, someone—or something—is scratching at her window.

The next morning, she meets her one and only neighbor, Doc Riggs. He’s a rough, good-time guy who rubs Nadia wrong immediately. They clash, and neither of them are happy to be sharing their lake.

But soon, Nadia learns the lore around her cabin and how the townsfolk are certain it’s haunted by the ghost of the man who was murdered there 15 years before.

Riggs and Nadia are suddenly thrown into a tangled web of history, betrayal, grief, secrets, with only one thing certain.

Someone—or something—wants them off that lake.

My favorite so far

I loved this book. I can admit that I listen to this series because KA wrote it, but I'm not a suspense reader. That being said, this book is my favorite of the series so far. I loved Riggs, Nadia, and Ledger! The storyline was great we get to see the relationship develop and all the couple has to go through while also figuring out a 15-year-old secret and murder.

4 Stars that could have been 5

Great back stories for both main characters but not as much suspenseful as the previous books. Still a good book.

I feel that I should explain the 4 stars rather than 5. I really don’t like Lance Greenfield! Since he is the male narrator for a lot of KA’s books, it takes away from my usual enjoyment of her work. I am visually disabled so I can only listen to books. Therefore a bad narrator is terribly disappointing. So…no 5 stars for Mr. Greenfield! Stella Bloom gets ALL the stars!!!!! She was fantastic as she always is!!!

Classic KA novel

The book is a tried and true recipe for a Kristen Ashley book. If you've enjoyed her other works, you won't be disappointed. The epilogue tells there will be more "mysteries" in Misted Pines and this book introduced a plethora of characters to chose from for new main characters.

The female narration was wonderful, they did such a wonderful job, especially when reading paragraph long sentences KA is known for.

The male narration was disappointing and as hard as I tried it really detracted from the story as the male POV is a prominent part of the book. Their performance was theatrical and better suited for a play rather than a romance/mystery novel, certainly not suited for narrating KA male lead, that's more caveman than thesbian.

Loved the story...the male narrator, not so much.

Kristen Ashley is my favorite author, so her stories are super stars. This story is an interesting mystery with very cool characters. My only complaint is with the overly dramatic make narrator. I thought his delivery was melodramatic. This is not awful just distracting.

Great story with slightly off narration.

The male narrator did a great job when narrating the story except for the voices he used for the male characters. The men all sounded overly dramatic and somewhat like a theater kid would sound like. The story made the main male lead sound broody and somewhat quiet in the book but sounded over the top in the audible reading. Otherwise this is another steller book by Kristen Ashley.

Story good. Male narrator not so much

Loved the book. I am not a fan of the males narration. Stella I like a lot. The male lead had to grow on me. I’m never a fan of men calling women B*tches and was not happy that he was so crude for a good part of the first 1/4 of the book. Liked The female lead from the start. Overall I enjoyed the book. Note: for the life of me I cant recall what happened in the first two books and don’t remember the players except the new sheriff. Odd for me and KA books. They were obviously forgettable in my mind. I think Natalya and twins and the sheriff will stick. 🤞🏾
