I have mixed feelings about this one. The EXTREMELY bad formatting was very distracting, but Williams is definitely a talented writer. The book was very dark, very disturbing and very evocative. The subject was difficult, including the concepts of "cutting," pedophelia and incest, not to mention the murders, but the writer was able to create a mood and an atmosphere that kept me reading.

Awesome read. Could'nt put down! ( )

I accidentally purchased this book, and frowned when I discovered I got a genre I normally do not read. I thought "Yay me.....ex-cop chases down nemesis killer, kills him.. so much fun. But since I paid for it, I figured I would give it a try maybe it won't be so bad.

What I found beside horrible kindle formatting was a book that drew you in with amazing details and descriptions, characters you grew understand and sympathize with, yes even the bad guys made you empathize with them. What intrigued me the most was that the heroine, Andrea, was almost bad enough to be the bad guy with her tormented past. I had never read a book that made me wonder if the good guy was going to go to the "dark side" but this one did. It left me guessing on the reasoning behind why Andrea was there.. to kill Clive or to join him. The small town of Twilight came alive inside my head the town people, back water Louisiana types took on a life of their own in the story.

The book is ultimately about broken people, what leads them to be what they are and the choices they make to lead them into the future. It does contain graphic material on incest and child abuse, if you can't handle those subjects do not read this book as they are an intricate part of the story line.

The story line was a slow dreamy pace that built up into a huge climatic ending that left you kind of sad but sated with how it ended. Thumbs up for this book from a person who usually runs the other direction from this type of story. ( )

Beautifully written, lyrical novel with disturbing characters and story line. Some formatting issues can be distracting.
A disgraced police woman with serious psychological problems tries to apprehend an escaped serial killer who was once her lover. She travels to Louisiana and gets involved with his family.
Compelling, disturbing, not at all light reading. ( )
