Synopsis:  Given by Goodreads
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…

My thoughts:
Nora is a master at mind twisting plots and stories!  This book was no different and I LOVED IT.  I was here for all the pages of wonderment, romance, fantasy.  Every time I read one of her books I can't help but think, "she's amazing, how on earth did she think of that?"  BUT SHE DOES and she executes it with perfection! 

She gives the romance that she gives in every book, even if its a slow burn with this one.  She gives us the impossible with the women of sight who can also be hurt by it.  She gives HEA but turmoil within the pages of the story.  The characters are well thought of, well loved, and well put down on paper.  

I simply cannot say enough about this.  I read the book and listened to the audio and IMMEDIATELY told everyone I know to preorder.  And preordered it myself for my shelves.  Nora never lets me down, this book was no different.  In fact, some how she makes it so that I love every book I read better than the last.  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?

I raise my hands, glass and hat to you Ms Roberts.  Wonderful job!
