Once again, Mr. Wickard, sucked me into his story from the beginning and made it difficult to put the book down. This time around, instead of wanting to shout out a warning to his protagonist, Sami Saxton, I desired to give her a hug, and tell her everything would get better. If we could just figure out what the heck is going on.This time, instead of knowing who the antagonist is, the reader is left wondering who it might be, and why. The likely suspects are given time in the novel to convince the reader their suspicion is correct, to have this belief shift to yet another character.Mr. Wickard’s writing is vivid. He paints an image in a few words moving the story forward with minimal effort. Unlike some authors whose description of scenes makes this reviewer wish they’d get on with the story, I found myself sitting back and enjoying the taste of the alcohol, or the feeling I was one of the people walking the sidewalk, or enjoyed the view from Sami’s apartment window.The story’s ends with a satisfying conclusion, but is left wide open for the series to continue. I’ll anxiously wait for the next novel from this author.
