OrangeReviewStarSurviving the dorm massacre of her friends and later the accusation that she'd killed her fiancé, horror writer and artist Madeline Hewitson has fled to Virtue Falls, WA, but is still haunted by guilt and a stalker no one else can see. Jacob Denisov is a war hero suffering from survivor's guilt and PTSD. He is waiting for the courage to end it all when Maddie accidentally drives her car into his house and turns everything upside down for them both. Returning series characters (Sheriff Kateri Kwinault is a favorite) add continuity and insight to a twisted plot that will keep fans on edge, if not in doubt of the villain's identity, for the duration.
VERDICT Two emotionally damaged characters find hope, self-forgiveness, and love in this exquisitely crafted, modern version of Gaslight that hooks readers and keeps them mesmerized until the end. A chilling and gripping tale, beautifully done. Dodd (Obsession Falls) lives in Washington State.
