fabulous characters

Ms. Colin has crafted a gem of a story. I was riveted by the characters and wanted to more and more about them as the story went on. Ms. Colin's ability to create and define her characters is fabulous. She is a natural and I look forward to reading more from her in the future

A book that I couldn't put down! An unforgettable story.

This story is about three generations of a family. It's centered around Lisette Auburn--a young woman very close to her mother and cousins. When a very close relative of hers suddenly dies tragically, a chain reaction of bad things happens within the family. Secrets, bad feelings, fears, everything comes out, whether they like it or not, and she gets caught in the middle of the family's inevitable breakdown. (This is the best description I could give without giving away too much of the story). When I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. I was immediately drawn to the characters and their problems. I find myself telling everyone about it. The story is emotional and it affects you in more ways than one. It is fresh and intriguing, and the dialogue between the characters is VERY realistic. The author even puts the supernatural into the mix, giving it an intriguing flavor.A friend gave me this book, and I utterly enjoyed it. I genuinely loved her style of writing and highly recommend this novel. I would really love to see the author do another book on this family; to continue the story. If not that, I look forward to reading another story from her, period!
