Fun Read but nothing I am going to read again. ( ) Coming off "Angels Fall" this just couldn't even compare. I was so bored at the beginning. Way too much description and thoughts. I don't feel we needed so much background. I did enjoy the romance between Cade/Tory and Faith/Wade. I actually think Faith was a very complex character. I was disappointed there was no conclusion to the Margaret situation. Not with her kids or with how hateful she was to Tory. I had been suspicious of the actual killer but then thought he would have been too young. Him as the killer just wasn't believable to me which ruined the reveal. I actually think the judge would have been perfect since Margaret was so close to him. It would have been true irony since she blamed Tory for Hope's death. The psychic parts were interesting to me. Tory Bodeen se crió en Carolina del Sur, en una casa humilde que su padre gobernaba como puño férreo y cinturón de cuero, y en la que sus sueños y talento no tenían cabída. Pero contaba con Hope, que vivía en la lujosa casa vecina y cuya amistad permitía a Tory sobrellevar su situación familiar. Sin embargo, tras el brutal asesinato de Hope, que nunca fue resuelto, la vida de Tory cambió para siempre. Ahora, transcurridos los años, cuando regresa a su pueblo natal con la esperanza de volverse a instalar y abrir una tienda de modas, se propone poner fin de una vez por todas a las visiones del pasado que la acosan, al tiempo que retoma la vieja amistad con el hermano de Hope, ambos unidos por el mismo sentimiento de pérdida. Pero no va a ser fácil convivir con tan drámaticos y escalofriantes recuerdos, maxime cuando el asesino aun continua suelto. Maybe this is an unfair review? It's not that the book is as terrible as all that -- the mystery/thriller plot was kind of interesting, and the writing was decent, if veering off into the purple at times. But the romance plots were amazingly annoying, and confirmed for me that mainstream romance is just not my thing. The romantic lead came across as a total jerk, "winning" the heroine by tactics that are absolutely creepy. He follows her around, shows up uninvited, never takes no for an answer, and basically stalks her. And she likes it. Ugh. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel of redemption and suspense, as a woman haunted by the unsolved murder of her childhood friend returns to her small South Carolina hometown. . . . Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt??and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn??t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart. Now, as she returns to Progress with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, Tory is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle??Hope??s older brother and the heir to the family fortune??she isn??t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart, just a little, and try. But living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening than Tory could ever have expected. Because Hope??s murderer is nearby as well. . . . ??Roberts may have achieved her personal best in this tense Southern Gothic. As atmospheric and unsettling as a Tennessee Williams play. . . . This is romantic drama at its best.???Publishers We No library descriptions found. |
