Notes and Opinions: Man this one was awesome! This one deals heavy with secrets, loss, memories, and stories from the past. I was pulled in from the very first pages and didn't let go until the end. You just do not know what is going on sometimes in this one and that worked out so well. I couldn't out it down. And although parts of it felt a little off I still enjoyed it so much! If you are looking for an older blend of characters as well as stories from the past and a good mystery check this one out! It won't do you wrong!
