Librarian's Note: Alternate-cover edition for ISBN 0553294903 / 9780553294903A decade ago, sculptor Clare Kimball fled Emmitsboro, Maryland, to take the art world by storm. Now she’s celebrated as the artist of her generation. But no amount of success can eclipse the nightmares that haunt her—or the memories of her father’s suicide. Just as her star is shining brighter than ever, Clare leaves it all behind to face her demons.

* 4.5 out of 5 StarsInitial ThoughtsI knew before going in that it wont be a typical romantic suspense read for me its not fantasy or paranormal but it deals with evil powers and Satanic cult stuff makes me feel a little uneasy/weird. But its a Nora Roberts book and I was going to pick it up and read it.The WritingThe writing was dark very dark and intense at times, slightly repetitive but that was required to set the scene and establish the patterns for the rituals. It was just a bit hard3.5 STARSI found the audio version while cruising OverDrive and couldn't resist. This is by far the darkest book I've read from NR. It wasn't bad but definitely dated. I probably would have enjoyed it much more 15 years ago. Audio - Katie Firth is an excellent narrator. I wouldn't hesitate to listen to her again.
Nora Roberts' books are my go-to guilty pleasure books, but this one did not work for me. This is one of her older works (early 90's), and it shows. The characters smoke like chimneys, for one thing. I don't keep up with trends in romances, but I would think that is unusual these days. The whole cult thing was just so melodramatic and over-the-top. I know there are active cults in our country and that Satanism is a thing, but really? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]A secret Satanist cult that
Haven't read Nora Roberts in many years but found myself in a "Friends of the Library" bookstore and discovered a nearly complete collection of her works in hardback. I chose one at random that I was pretty sure I hadn't read. Wow! I loved it. Fast moving, great characters, tight story line, and the romance was just enough to make it "real." My only criticism is that the main female character seemed a bit weak. Often whiney, petulant, and a bit naive for a New Yorker. I guess I prefer my
I have not read ONE Nora Roberts Crime Thriller that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. She always finds a way to give you a lovable heroine and a charming Male protagonist. This was a great story about hoe darkness can lie in any small town. By the end of it you knew pretty much everything going on, so there was no real "AH HA!" moment. However the closing scene did throw in a nice little twist. Highly recommended for Crime Thriller lovers.
A book that reminded me of Brotherhood in Death which I read recently and also involves a (view spoiler)[villainous secret society (hide spoiler)].Clare, an artist famous for her dark work, returns to the town where she grew up in order to face the nightmares of her past that include her father's suicide. There she reunites with Cameron, a bad boy of their high school days who is now the town sheriff.The two share some pretty intense attraction and soon start a relationship, that eventually help
4.5 stars. This is my mums book. I ran out of books to read so she lent it me. I really enjoyed this book. I found it hard to put it down. The story was really interesting and mysterious. At first, I was a little shocked at how dark it was. The plot is a lot darker than the blurb lets you believe. I liked the characters, including Clare and Cameron. I liked reading their relationship and liked how it progressed throughout the book. My favourite character has to be Annie though. She was so sweet
