Publisher's summary

A seaside retreat has just become a killer's favorite playground.

It's summer on the Jersey Shore. Children play on the beach. Husbands are off working in the city. And the surf echoes in the night. Here, in this perfect place, a serial killer has no worries in the world - except choosing the next victim.

Cam Hastings has come to Long Beach Island with her teenage daughter and the hope that maybe she can save her failed marriage. Cam has never stopped loving her husband, Mike, nor has she been able to outrun her flaws and demons - a vanished mother, a lost sister, and the ugly visions she has of missing children.

Now, Cam is about to step over the edge. For once, she will act on one of her visions - and then face the consequences. For a killer has just struck again. And for Cam, and the people she loves most, fear has come home for good.

Good New Series

Let me start off by saying that I did very much enjoy this book. But I knocked a star off because of some formatting choices that I think the editors/author thought would enhance the listening experience, for me it was just distracting.

There were multiple perspective shifts in each chapter but rarely were they delineated in any understandable way. Perhaps it was meant to keep the listeners on our toes but mostly it was just frustrating.

I enjoyed the fact that it wasn’t a classic detective thriller story and that the majority of the book was centered around Cam. I think the author did a fair job of creating realistic characters that stay true to what most people in their situations would think and feel. I appreciated how authentic each of their voices sounded.

I am looking forward to the next book.

Emily Sutton-Smith was really amazing with the delivery of the story. She is one of my favorite narrators and she did not disappoint with this story.

very suprising

Got this out of audibles new free book selection. My first by this author. I really enjoyed the characters but I will say some of the book seemed to just go and go. Definitely didnt need to be as long as it was. Still very happy that I chose this book and would definitely recommend it.

So good!

I love a suspenseful thriller and this book did not disappoint. A well developed plot and interesting characters kept me from wanting to turn it off. Lots of yard work got done today and I credit this engaging story for keeping me entertained!

Good book

I enjoyed this book very much and it held my interest throughout. The only issue I have is the secondary storyline which could easily have been left out without harming the main story at all. Narrator did an excellent job as well

I enjoyed this book - even out of sequence

I read the third book in this series a couple of months ago and enjoyed it so I chose this. Since this is book one I already knew a lot of what was going to happen but I still liked the story. Just a suggestion but read them in order so it doesn't spoil the story.
