The creative pacA beautiful and sometimes tragic tale of love, passion, and remorse, all entangled against the backdrop of the music industry "ways." The creative pacing is spot-on for this romantic suspense novel; the characters are well-developed--you often feel both love and hate for a few of them at the same time! Really gets your heart involved. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading more from Heather O'Brien....more

Wow, Kerry Alan Denney is the real deal. This is the first book I've read by him and am just blown away by his mastery of storytelling. There are so mWow, Kerry Alan Denney is the real deal. This is the first book I've read by him and am just blown away by his mastery of storytelling. There are so many levels of "life messages" in this book, so many great one-liners, so much intensity . . . if I could give it more than five stars, I would. I love books that make me think beyond the story, which in this case is a spot-on supernatural thriller. I'm thinking about how we reap what we sow, how we're all a bit of darkness and light, and how at the end of any given day, or at the end of days, it's the side of yourself (good or evil, in a nutshell) that you feed the most which determines your quality of being. Also, I think about our beloved canines, who have more compassion and wisdom than we often give them credit for -- and Denney highlights this idea in a unique way. No spoilers here, but trust me -- this is brilliant stuff. Highly recommend. And kudos to his editor -- the book was spotless....more
