Iris in the Dark by Elissa Grossell Dickey
4.25
mysterious tense fast-paced

Iris ran from her dark past and is making a new life for herself. Only one person (Lowell) alive knows some of the truth about her. He helps her a lot and one day offers her a chance to house sit his lodge.

Things are going pretty well until she hears a voice coming from a toy walkie talkie that dredges up the sinister past.

I loved how great a mom Iris is to her son Finn. He is her world and she does what she can to shelter him from the bad. Sawyer, the property's caretaker, helps her out and they fall in love. But their worlds collide in a big way. Lowell is a big sweetheart of a man 

I read this book in a few short hours! The author sure knows how to write a compelling story that keeps you turning the page. Lowell is a big sweetheart of a man and I love how he's like a dad to Iris and a grandfather to Finn. I got so angry at the one police guy..... He was such a jerk to Iris and didn't believe that she was scared. I'm glad to know he probably got chewed out and maybe even "let go" of his position.
