Morgan recieves a message and a key in the ruins of her unit. The message: My Ruin all roads lead back home.

This story is told from the alternating POVs of Hudson and Morgan. Their lives are intertwined when Morgan witnesses the murder of Officer Garrison who is Hudson's former partner. The last words Officer Garrison says are "I found you". I needed to know why he was looking for her!

Morgan has endured some absolutely horrific events in her life when she was living with her aunt as a child. But, she overcame the horrors and was a remarkable woman.

Hudson lost his wife and still mourns and misses her tremedously.

The concept of The Ruins was intriguing and oddly thrilling to me. I won't mention anything else about that because it might be spoilerish. Is that a word? If not, add it to the dictionary! The secrets and twists were pretty non stop through the whole book. I didn't see any of it coming.

I feel like there was a lot of different pieces to the puzzle that made up this book. I enjoyed that.

On the Scale of: Buy, Bargain, Borrow, Bud (audio) or Bust: I'd rate this one a BUY especially if you are into darker thrillers like me.
