Publisher's summary

"Narrator January LaVoy brings a richly layered performance to a story.... She expertly handles the large cast of multigenerational characters"—AudioFile on Hideaway

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Identity presents a suspenseful new novel of tragedy and trauma, love and family, and the evil that awaits.

As they do each June, the Foxes have driven the winding roads of Appalachia to drop off their children for a two-week stay at their grandmother’s. Here, twelve-year-old Thea can run free and breathe in the smells of pine and fresh bread and Grammie’s handmade candles. But as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they have no idea they’re about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.

Back in Kentucky, Thea and her grandmother Lucy both awaken from the same nightmare. And though the two have never discussed the special kind of sight they share, they know as soon as their tearful eyes meet that something terrible has happened.

The kids will be staying with Grammie now in Redbud Hollow, and thanks to Thea’s vision, their parents’ killer will spend his life in supermax. Over time, Thea will make friends, build a career, find love. But that ability to see into minds and souls still lurks within her, and though Grammie calls it a gift, it feels more like a curse—because the inmate who shattered her childhood has the same ability. Thea can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil acts from miles away. He knows it, and hungers for vengeance. A long, silent battle will be waged between them—and eventually bring them face to face, and head to head…

Critic reviews

"Fans of Roberts’ enticing brand of storytelling will find everything they crave in her latest polished thriller, including compelling characters, an evocative, richly realized setting, and a captivating plot enlivened a generous dash of romance and just the right measure of nerve-jangling, nail-biting suspense. You don’t have to be a mind reader to predict Roberts’ latest will soon be on reserve and best-seller lists all around the country."—Booklist

"Roberts’ latest may move you to tears, or joy, or dread, or all three....A touching story of love and grief ends in an epic battle of good versus evil."—Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"Die-hard Roberts fans will get what they came for: there’s no shortage of romance, [or] cliffhangers..."—Publishers Weekly

Great book!!!

The narrator was brilliant. Of course Nora Roberts has the most amazing dialogue. She makes you feel like you are in the story and feeling all of the emotions. Great book.

Mind Games, Sword Play and Family!

Nora Roberts exceeds my expectations! I love how she includes precise details that add layers to the story. I could envision so many details listening to January LaVoy performing the book. She adds the right emotions and inflection in her voice. This is a great listen and I loved the journey.

Solid story, world class narrator.

I think I could listen to an instruction manual narrated by January Lavoie and be in heaven.

This is a solid and enjoyable story. It lumbers along a little bit and the ending could be a little better, and I’m sorry if I sound like a picky reviewer, but it’s a good story.

However the reason I purchased it was the incredible narrator January Lavoie. She is just a treasure. And I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her on this one.

Unique, griping story with the ideal narrator

Psychological thrillers aren’t my favorite, but Nora Roberts never disappoints! This is a well crafted, unique take on the psychological tale.
January Lavoy narrates the character and the emotions perfectly!
10 out of 10 on all counts!
