| I'll give this one three stars based on the writing...well written enough for me, with a format I like, moving from the viewpoint of one character to the next and then back again. But the story...oh the plot...it was slow, it was meant to be confusin ...more | |

| Just an okay book for me. I felt that Willa didn't grow emotionally as time moved through the novel. Her emotions and thoughts as a child seemed to be much the same throughout the book. Plot moved slow...with characters that never fully developed for ...more | |

| A good summer read...suspense, secrets and lies. The story moves fast, from one character to the next, answering questions and asking more. Good to the finish. | |

| Another great book in the series....lots going on, lots of characters, stories, secrets, and lies. One of Ellis's better ones, a tale of witchcraft and murder. | |

| Tim Winton's writing...harsh, stark, brutal...characters that are flawed and damaged, their hearts laid open. This book is hard to read, impossible to put down and ignore. I wanted to take Jaxie out of this book, away from his reality. I wanted the s ...more | |

| A slow-paced psychological novel, at times too slow moving for me. While the writing is good, it got tedious...a bit boring with Carolyn going over and over and round and round...her actions, her feeling and thoughts. The final pages were a bit flat ...more | |

| A good ending to this series...though a bit slow and at times tiresome coming from Lydia's point of view. This is a happy-happy series, where everything always turns out perfectly, where balloons float in the sky, and animals are all cute and cuddly ...more | |
