Loved this book. I am very easily scared and I like to be on edge a little. By getting to know the characters Michael and Emily really helped when their tragedy stuck. If you are not drawn in and begin to care about the characters, then the tragedy is not as awful. This was really storytelling at its best. So I am not going to reveal any spoilers, but it was pretty dramatic and you will appreciate the story so much more now that you care about this couple.As the story progressed and Michael and Emily are moving into Eden Gardens, where they have a very warm reception. People around them greet them and they feel welcomed. This is where I was fearful and on edge! When they begin a routine in their perfect little cookie cutter village, the story seems to gain momentum. The rest of the book is set up on a very steady climb to some real drama. I mean a dead body thrown in here and there, well what is that? Nothing! At least not in Eden Gardens, it is after all a perfect community. Yeesh nail biter!My thoughts are, if you like a thriller then this is for you! If you like a thriller that is edgy and maybe considered mild horror then, BINGO this is for you. I really thought it was entertaining and out of my comfort zone so if I rave about it then you know it was a great read. I think both men and woman will love this book.
