This book had so much dust on it, I sneezed when I brought it up on my Kindle! I finally broke down and gave it a try.
It's hard to summarize what I read. I ended up quitting at about 20% and I still wasn't sure what exactly some of it was about. The main story seemed to be about Paige, a woman who is scared to report the dead body in her hot tub. I just can't get over the fact that she not only touches the body numerous times, but she also covers her hand with her mouth after she touched it. And all without washing her hands or a scalding shower or anything. It bothered me!
There were also snippets of other folks that lived in the town in there as well. I wasn't sure if they were just background, but it seemed that almost every other chapter was about a new character. They were hardly happy insights into small town life. After a while, there were just too many characters "floating" around for me.
Overall, I just decided that this kind of book was not for me. The in depth descriptions, while well written, didn't really add enough to make me want to keep reading. There are 4 total books in the series: Coral Moon, Crimson Eve, & Amber Morn. I won't be looking for them anytime soon. Just not up my alley.
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
