Cawpile Rating:  7.86/10

Thank you to Net Galley and Harlequin and the Hive for a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Characters: 7/10 My downfall for this book was that I did not read the previous books in the series. While this acted like any other interconnected series where reading previous books is not necessary to understand the plot of this book, I think having a bigger connection to the other characters in the book would have helped me care more about the other characters. 

Bailey and Stuart felt like very well rounded characters. I really felt a connection to them in the story. Bailey's sleuthing was particularly interesting to me. 

Atmosphere: 8/10 This story felt like a very authentic, Montana ranch story. It fulfilled all my desires for a cowboy romance at the time of reading.

Writing: 7/10 The author did an excellent job at writing this who done it story. I truly had no idea who was murdering these girls. The author did a good job at creating suspicion for many of the members of the town. 

Plot: 8/10 Again, the plot of figuring out who murdered the girls was incredibly intriguing.

Intrigue:  8/10

Logic 9/10

Enjoyment: 8/10 This was my first BJ Daniels story. I'm looking forward to trying more of her books in the future!
