SYNOPSIS
AT THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT, THE HEAT BEGINS
On a hot southern night, with a storm on the horizon, a family is shattered. Three beautiful daughters—Savannah, Samantha, and Sabrina Wilde—go on with their lives, each significantly changed, as they bear the memory of the murder-suicide that killed their parents. For years, they have stayed away from Midnight, Alabama. Until Midnight calls them home.
Savannah is the first one back, when a grueling case in Nashville leads the young prosecutor to seek shelter in the quiet of the once grand Wilde mansion. But when she finds letters casting doubt on her family’s dark, shameful past, she realizes that peace in Midnight is a shallow façade and sinister secrets lurk beneath the surface. Zach Tanner, once the town’s bad boy, is now the new police chief and still has a wild hold over her. Zach can feel it, too, but he hurt Savannah once. As teenagers, they broke every rule together. Now it’s his job to keep her safe, even though he isn’t sure who her enemies are—or which ones might be his own.

Review:
I did not pick this book because of
the cover. I DID NOT pick this book
because of the cover! Ok, I have to admit...that is such a Gutter Girl lie. I totally picked this book because of the cover.
To be fair, I also saw good reviews and I had heard nothing but good things
about Christy Reece AKA Ella Grace.
That said, I thought this was a pretty good book if you like
romantic suspense. It started out really strong for me. Intense prologue and a
really sweet romance at the beginning. I loved the beginning, but I started to lose
a little bit of interest about halfway through and here’s why…
I’m always up for a good mystery. I love when an author gets
my investigative wheels turning, but this story gave me no hints!
Nada.
Zilch.
Nothing!
I wanted to play detective and I couldn’t! It was like an
insane game of Clue with a ton of
suspects and no clues! I mean give me
something, right? While I was intrigued and wanted to know what happened, I was
also frustrated that I had nothing to go on. So much so that the story started
to feel a little long and all the sudden I was skimming. There were a few really strong chapters at
the end that had me sitting on the edge of my seat, but nothing that got me
real excited. So, all in all, it was a good read…just not great one for me as
far as suspense goes.
I’ve heard good things about Christy Reece's Last Chance Rescue series
and I think I’ll give that a shot to see if it’s more my style!
My Rating: 3.5 Stars
