Resumen del Editor

A getaway to a lush vacation rental with her best friend is just what Abby needs after breaking off her engagement to her fiancé. She’s on her way out to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach when she notices a foul smell in the garage. She freezes when she sees the limb of a dead body. How did this person die, and why are they in her garage? Her memories of last night are foggy at best. When she asks her friend what happened, she says Abby must not call the police.

Three days earlier....

Being back on the idyllic island where she spent her childhood has brought Abby face-to-face with her first love, Micah, on the eve of his wedding to another woman. But someone wants Abby gone. Threatening notes appear. Personal items are stolen from her room. Soon, Micah's highly invasive, dysfunctional family are making her life miserable, and a long buried scandal resurfaces.

Just when Abby thinks it may have been a mistake to return to the island, her ex-fiancé shows up, wanting to win her back. Or does he? Maybe the threats have been his doing. Jealousy brings out the worst in him.

When a hurricane approaches, the whole group gets stuck at Abby’s house to ride out the storm: Abby, Camilla, James, Micah, Micah's fiancé, and Micah's sister. As wind and rain hammer the house, secrets are revealed, loyalties are shattered, and Abby finds that danger comes from the least expected place.

Interesting Story Line

It was a good book with an interesting story line. Had me guessing up to the end. Some of the characters grew on me while others were just the opposite, but overall, I did enjoy this book.

Too long

I didn't like getting bits and pieces of the backstory. It would have been better for me to have all the details at once, rather than by little dribbles. It kept me focusing on that rather than the story. Abby changed a lot as the story went on, and I liked her less and less. She became very selfish. By chapter 60 I just wanted it to be over, because I lost interest in the cat and mouse game. It's not like "that woman" didn't deserve what happened, but it was odd that many went on to live their lives and prosper. I guess karma comes the next time around. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Not To Sure

This book had a messed up storyline. There is a murder and a cover up which was not revealed. These are not nice people. I did not like the ending.

An interesting story line

I thought the story would be over once I knew who the dead person was and how they got killed. But to my surprise there was another 3 hours. IT's a complicated story with many characters that you will either like or hate. Some characters I liked but by the end of the book I changed my opinion of the person I thought they were.

The narration by Carol Anne Shaw was good.

I received this audiobook for free and have volunatarily left this review.
