MY THOUGHTS
Attorney Isaac Colson, son of alleged serial killer, receives a text from an unknown number saying, “Every day you're not in Fog Lake, someone will die”. It could be a prank, but what if it's not? He races back to his hometown just in the nick of time to save his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Moreno, from a dire situation. Rebecca has a secret. One that would change everything. But because of threats to her family, she can't reveal it. Can these two come together and solve a mystery that's haunted the town for years?
I can't say that I ever really connected with Isaac or Rebecca. Even though Rebecca had a legitimate reason to stay quiet, I still got extremely frustrated by her silence. But despite all that, the questions swirling around about the Good Samaritan Killer kept me glued to the pages. I needed to know if the real killer was behind bars, or if he was set up. Was the actual culprit still on the loose and back to terrorize the town of Fog Lake? I was pleasantly surprised to find the answers to those questions.
I'd definitely recommend reading LEGACY OF LIES before this one. The other books in the Fog Lake series are optional, but great reads.
3.5 STARS
Might have to give this series a try! OK, I admit the "fog" of Fog Lake is a draw by itself. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was for me too, lol! This is one of Barritt's "darker" series, so that's been a nice change-up from her norm.
DeleteGood to know to read Legacy of Lies first. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm always curious if a book in the middle of a series can be read as a standalone or not, so I try to remember to mention that in my reviews. I forget a lot of the time, but I try, lol! :D
