    Growing up in the Southwest and living in northern Arizona, the picture they paint of southern Utah’s landscape is beautiful. I can feel the energy of the canyons in their words, and smell its distinct smells. The story is just so much fun. Don’t read “one more chapter” before bed; you’ll stay up till you’re done with the book.

  • A real page turner

    Wrong title for a book that lacks power and ferocity. Overly descriptive in places as if the authors are only trying to fill up the pages. The main character, Nora, is often portrayed as an overzealous, selfish brat, only concerned about what she can get from others. Boring and predictable.

    What an outstanding work. A fast paced read that I couldn't put down. Their writing skills paint vivid scenes for the reader, it was like watching a movie as I moved through the chapters. This story is one of their greatest works yet. If you want an action packed murder mystery this is it!
