Gretchen has come home after tragedy has struck. She is tasked along with her brother to raise her 4 yr old nieces after her sister passes away. She left her small town and never came back. Trent left his small town by force and is coming back to get revenge against those who wronged him.
Trent is/was the best friend to Gretchen’s brother. They have grown over the years but still touch base every once in a while. Trent is a damaged man based on things that happened when he was forced to leave. And he is out to right some wrongs that were made against him.
These two connect in a way that neither or them expected. There are moments in this book that seem a little out there, but at the same time they work and make sense. There are truths that are found; secrets that come out, and destruction in the wake of these things coming out.
The pacing of this story was a little bit off, and some of the decisions made were frustrating. I am still on the fence on whether or not I truly liked it. The storyline was strong but needed something more. I will give Cora Brent another try because I did like her writing style, and maybe it was just these characters that didn’t work 100% for me.
