Ahoy there me mateys!  I received an eArc of this thriller through NetGalley in exchange for me honest musings.  This be the seventh book of a series and seemingly the series finale.  While I try to post no spoilers, if ye keep reading this log then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril . . .

I love Kelley Armstrong!  I discovered her through her young adult book, sea of shadows, and she became me most read author of 2016. I have really been enjoying this series and I didn't even read the blurb before I requested this one.  While ye can read books 1 - 3 and get the gist, books 4 - 7 build on each other.  I do recommend starting at the beginning.

This novel continues the adventures of Rockton's detective, Casey Duncan.  For those who be adventurous and are readin' this post having not read the previous books, Rockton is an off-the-grid town in the Yukon.  People pay a council to spend time in this town to hide from their pasts.  Some flee domestic abuse.  Some flee other more unsavory problems.  Suffice to say, the town is not an idyllic wonderland.

Casey is always getting pulled into trouble.  This time, residents' secrets are getting exposed.  How is this information getting out?  And who is willing to kill because of these secrets?

Rockton books are always a little over the top and this one was no exception.  I actually really loved the first half of the book and thought it was very humorous.  The second half of the book felt a little rushed.  Sadly the ending was kinda horrible.  The mastermind was obvious and how that plotline resolved was ridiculous.  Even for this series.  I rather wish that we could have had better resolutions for me favorite side characters.  No regrets about reading this series though.  It was fun!

So lastly . . .

Thank ye kindly St. Martin's Press!
