A page turner indeed! Valerie did an amazing job capturing the personalities of each of her characters. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It's a book you can easily read again even after knowing all the truths and the ending. Excellent work! Thank you Valerie for sharing your writing gift. I look forward to all her works.

A page turner for sure. Valerie captures your attention with each of her characters its like your inside each of the characters and I felt like I lived through them as the story unfolded. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next to her main character Tora. A fantastic read and one that you could easily read again even after learning all the truths and knowing the end result. Thank you Valerie for sharing your gift of writing. Looking forward to all your works.

The book is a compelling read. It pulls you in right away and is hard to put down. The Canadian setting and the heart and soul the author put into this book makes it feel like you are right there in the midst. This is time well spent. I can't wait for your next Valerie!

Great read! The story lured me in from the start. The twists had me guessing throughout the entire book. I also enjoyed the Canadian setting with characters that were vivid and likeable.
