About this deal

Shen weaved her magic wand on me within that very first chapter making me fall wholeheartedly in love with their story, these characters will forever have a space in my heart. It's about finding your person and letting that person show you you're worth everything, that you're beautiful inside and out no matter what you've been through, no matter what you did. A gritty, thrilling and intense novel which I have no hesitation in recommending highly, it is different from Gerritsen’s normal offerings; but one of her best in my opinion. As other reviews have noted, readers who enjoyed books like Sarah's Key will take this one to heart.

There, Julia uncovers a heartbreaking, long-buried tale of tragedy and devastation - a discovery that puts her in serious danger. I completely understand why many people love novels that almost demand to be read in one sitting and sacrifice every other consideration – including credibility and historical accuracy - to a “gripping” plot but they’re just not my thing. This is historical fiction at its best, it's a fiction story set in the past but with some historical facts and figures to keep the reader educated and interested.I cannot even begin to imagine what it must be like to fear that your angelic looking three year old daughter is trying to kill you. The novel tells the story of two violinists, Julia Ansdell in the present day – and Lorenzo Todesco during World War II. to be honest, the whole premise drew me in because first of all, FOOD TRUCKS (yum), and then there's the whole Hero being your typical new adult bad boy/underground fighter (because apparently every new adult Hero has to be a secret underground fighter), heroine being a social reject - like come on, those are chef's kiss material tropes right there but. So don’t you go losing your virginity with any other guy moonshine, maybe there is a sunshine out there wanting him and you would suffer if he only realizes he doesn’t want to have sex with her mid thrust at your’s special place.

Surely we aren’t really expected to believe that a piece of music drove her to attacked her own mother and kill her cat? The details of Julia's confusion and worry seem realistic but, for me, the two parts of the plot seemed somewhat disconnected at times. When I saw that Tess Gerritsen had a new stand alone novel being released, I jumped at the chance to read it.

History and mystery combined with just the right amount of chilling malevolence resulted in a moving, inspiring, and informative page-turner complete with a twisted ending and denouement that was faithful and true. The metaphors linked to the plot wil convey a wonderful message and you'll discover an amazing but dramatic story.

As much as I want to hug Grace and protect her at all costs, and as much as her insecurities resonated with me, his was the damage that spoke to me, and I could relate to his defense mechanisms in ways I couldn’t to Grace’s pure brilliant light. I was totally lost in both timelines and kept coming back to earth with a bump each time they switched. I also have to mention the secondary characters that at first I didn't like on a personal level but they very quickly grew on me, especially Easton and even Reign.She may suffer and struggle to make money for ten years while he is living his best life all because of him.
