While I tend to download a lot of freebies by unknown authors, I don't usually have great expectations for them. If they are really horrible, I will probably write a review just to warn others not to waste their time. (Besides, somebody has to temper the phony five-star reviews posted by the author's loyal friends.) It's also true that if they are surprisingly good, I feel constrained to let people know that as well.This book is one of the latter. The author had me going from the very beginning when our heroine is about to become the next victim of a sadistic serial killer to the end when she discovers her true family origins and is the catalyst to the discovery of some horrifying family secrets. There's mystery and romance and tragedy and a whole new world of Louisiana bayou Cajun community, and even a huge catfish that eats animals as big as deer!I started reading this book in the airport on the way home from a conference and couldn't stop even when I got home at midnight, dead tired as I was. While this is not the type of book I would normally pick up, I'm really, really glad I did this time. And I bought the next one for 99 cents. . . which is a bargain if it's only half as good as this one.
