Publisher's summary

Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year, 2024

"Narrator January LaVoy brings a richly layered performance to a story.... She expertly handles the large cast of multigenerational characters"—AudioFile on Hideaway

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Identity presents a suspenseful novel of tragedy and trauma, love and family, and the evil that awaits.

As they do each June, the Foxes have driven the winding roads of Appalachia to drop off their children for a two-week stay at their grandmother’s. Here, twelve-year-old Thea can run free and breathe in the smells of pine and fresh bread and Grammie’s handmade candles. But as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they have no idea they’re about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.

Back in Kentucky, Thea and her grandmother Lucy both awaken from the same nightmare. And though the two have never discussed the special kind of sight they share, they know as soon as their tearful eyes meet that something terrible has happened.

The kids will be staying with Grammie now in Redbud Hollow, and thanks to Thea’s vision, their parents’ killer will spend his life in supermax. Over time, Thea will make friends, build a career, find love. But that ability to see into minds and souls still lurks within her, and though Grammie calls it a gift, it feels more like a curse—because the inmate who shattered her childhood has the same ability. Thea can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil acts from miles away. He knows it, and hungers for vengeance. A long, silent battle will be waged between them—and eventually bring them face to face, and head to head…

Critic reviews

"Fans of Roberts’ enticing brand of storytelling will find everything they crave in her latest polished thriller, including compelling characters, an evocative, richly realized setting, and a captivating plot enlivened a generous dash of romance and just the right measure of nerve-jangling, nail-biting suspense. You don’t have to be a mind reader to predict Roberts’ latest will soon be on reserve and best-seller lists all around the country."—Booklist

"Roberts’ latest may move you to tears, or joy, or dread, or all three....A touching story of love and grief ends in an epic battle of good versus evil."—Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"Die-hard Roberts fans will get what they came for: there’s no shortage of romance, [or] cliffhangers..."—Publishers Weekly

Another favorite

Here’s the thing that I love about NR books …. She pulls you in so beautifully that you feel these people are your real neighbors and friends. And that the region or area the story takes place is your own neighborhood. This book ranks up there in my top 10 of her books. January Lavoy brings such passion to her readings. I will probably start re-listening to this book tonight.

The southern accents.

I like the suspense and humor throughout the book. REM was my favorite. Straight to the point and blunt.

Great story line

I so hated when it was over! I couldn’t put it down, listened to it everywhere. I cried some to be honest. Narrator was good and the book was just awesome! I do wish we could do without the bad language but it was not overwhelming. Nora Roberts is an awesome writer!!!!
