This book without a doubt captures your attention!This story opens up and settles you right in. The writing style is smooth and natural. You almost feel as if you are not reading at all but watching it all play out in front of you. The visuals are so crystal clear that you glide through the words with ease and comfort even if the dialog is anything but consoling. There is conflict and a lot of passion coming from these characters so as a reader you are reeled right in. There is a coziness that I don't often feel from the books that I read. This author has the rare ability to tell a story that you not only feel a part of but get emotionally involved. There are gut wrenching moments that tug at your heart strings as you become a part of the landscaping.I was so immersed in this story that I chose to put aside everything else I was doing so I could continue reading. I needed to know that everything was going to turn out alright. I couldn't walk away once I started and I didn't. There are moments of sheer terror that had me sucked in completely. My eyes were glued to the words as I finished the very last page."Carolyn felt Jim grab her by the hair, her scalp screamed for release. His rants sounded like a cartoon character in slow motion audio. She tried to look up at him, up where the distorted voice was coming from, but she could not make her eyes focus on his face. Blurred vision from the hit to her head and something else - What is that? No time to think of that now, she reasoned. Reaching up with both hands, she felt around until she found and clutched onto one of Jim's wrists. She may not be able to unwind his tightly wrapped fingers from her hair, but she could keep him from scalping her until he let go.The screams emerging from her throat seemed to come from someone else, someplace else. As the darkness swept over her, Carolyn heard Copperhead barking and trying to scratch his way through the front door."
