Publisher's summary

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Nora Roberts takes listeners deep into the rugged Black Hills of South Dakota, where the shadows keep secrets, hunters stalk the land, and a childhood friendship matures into an adult passion.

Cooper Sullivan spent the summers of his youth on his grandparents’ South Dakota ranch, sharing innocent games and stolen kisses with the neighbor girl, Lil Chance. Now, twelve years after they last walked together hand in hand, fate has brought them back to the Black Hills.

Coop has left his fast-paced life as an investigator in New York to take care of his aging grandparents and the ranch he has come to call home. Though the memory of his touch still haunts her, Lil has let nothing stop her dream of opening the Chance Wildlife Refuge, but something...or someone...has been keeping a close watch. When small pranks and acts of destruction escalate into a heartless attack on Lil’s beloved cougar, memories of an unsolved murder in these very hills have Coop springing to action to keep Lil safe.

Lil and Coop know the natural dangers that lurk in the wild landscape of the Black Hills. But a killer of twisted and unnatural instincts has singled them out as prey...

Powerful story with great characters

I just discovered Nora Roberts last year. Don't know how I managed to miss this author, but I am making up for it now. NR knows how to keep you on the edge of suspence as the story unfolds, and the narrator did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life! I really enjoyed this book.

Black Hills was intriguing

This book had so many characters that intertwined and it made me remember my past every character did it made me think of someone in my life
I loved it
Would recommend it to anyone over 16 years of age loved it loved it loved it

Awesome

Loved this book. The way it was written, the way the characters were introduced so young, and then the way the story went forward years without any mention of what happened and told the story of now. And when it was flashback, explaining what had happened it was so intriguing. the setting was perfect, the animals stories was perfect.
In the beginning it seemed easy to predict what would happen and with every page turned, to my surprise nothing was as I had thought it would be which kept me interested for more of the story.
it was so easy to visualize every scene in the story as it wad being told which only interested me to keep on reading.
this is one of the greatest books I've ever read.

Good reading

This was a good book. Kept my interest throughout the whole story. Would definitely recommend this one.

My first ever Audio Book and it did not disappoint

What did you love best about Black Hills?

Everything, it kept me on the edge of my seat!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Black Hills?

Baby!

Have you listened to any of Nick Podehl’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have never listened to him, but he was awesome!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have tried, but I love being able to stop and go back when ever I wanted!

loved it

4 legged critters can show love and affection even if wild animals from the deep woods.

Great Mystery

This book had more sexual scenes then I care for but the story line and mystery was great right until the end!

Glad I stuck it out

This book wasn’t as good as most of Nora Roberts books, but it was good and I’m glad I stuck it out. It had a very long back story to build it up, and once you get to chapter 12-15 things really start getting really good.
The reader of the book made this hard to listen to, reading very slowly and pausing way too long. Had to speed up the reader and there were still moments the pauses were too long.
Overall I liked the book, just wish it was read by someone else.
