Narrado por: Marguerite Gavin

Be careful who you love....

Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee, has seen murder before, but nothing like what has claimed the life of Jamie Upton, heir to the Upton fortune. The crime is so vicious, so personal and filled with hatred, the authorities are certain it had to be someone he knew...someone hiding an unimaginable sadistic streak behind a friendly facade.

Be careful who you trust....

The number-one suspect is Jamie's former lover Jazzy Talbot. The girl from the wrong side of the tracks has always been Cherokee Point's favorite target for gossip and worse. Jazzy knows she didn't kill Jamie...just as she knows she's being watched, stalked like prey....

Be careful what you know....

And then the killer strikes again...and again...with the same chilling signature. With no one to believe her innocence except enigmatic drifter Caleb McCord, Jazzy plunges into a small town's long-buried secrets and shocking family sins...each startling truth bringing her dangerously close to a killer determined to make Jazzy the last to die....

Very good book

The book kept me wondering who the killer was up until the end.

Being from Tennessee, it was hard to hear Sevierville mispronounced. The correct pronunciation is Se-veer-ville.

Attention grabbing for sure.

This book is a good romantic mystery. Graphic in some details about victims. If you can’t handle that don’t read it. Overall the book kept me wondering who the killer was?? 3-4 possibilities and not knowing until the last few chapters. It can be confusing if you don’t pay close attention to the descriptions of characters. They way they talk tells a lot about personality and gives tiny clues about who they really are. To the person who posted a review stating it was a racist book. It’s not, the character describing the Native American character was racist.
Anyways it’s a good book.

Keeps you guessing. Great ending

I really enjoyed the progression of the story. Little Easter eggs were laid but not realized until later. Good series... looking forward to next book.

The Last to Die

The story was really good until the end. I felt like three characters explained who the killer was and her story. So I heard the same story from three different people. Then the ending kind of felt incomplete. Less time on detail and description needed but more on the story itself

Great Story and Narrator

Love the story with lots of suspense. the narrator easy to listen to. enjoyed starting this series

Interesting but leans heavily on tropes

It’s interesting enough and the story keeps moving, although the author leans heavily on traditional romantic fiction tropes (tall, handsome, overprotective men/diminutive, fragile, yet fiery, but needing of protection women).

Some of the characters’ actions/reactions/statements would never happen in real life the ways they are shown in the book. And people recover from gun shot wounds unbelievably quickly.

This is the second book in the series and Ok listened to both. I *sure hope* that they don’t have Genny getting pregnant in the next book; that’s one lady who should *never* have kids. Sure, she’s sweet, kind, and a woodland princess, but her powers are hereditary and she’s perpetually whining about how much of a toll they take on her physically. Not to mention the fact that she’s so wiped out afterwards that no fewer than three people have to drop everything they are going to race to her aid each time. And she regularly drops/breaks whatever she’s holding or collapses when she’s having visions. This is definitely not someone who would be able to care for an infant and why would she wish this “gift” on anyone else?

Oh come on! Why send her to a Cabin

All the killings happened at a cabin yet the author is sending her to a cabin phew
Loved the story though. Even when I speed read the narrator she still tends to go slow.

Family drama

The main characters were believable and the plot was good. Maybe a little too soap opera like but enjoyable story. Hope to hear the next one.

The suspense

Loved the many different suspects and how each was a possibility of bringing the murderer!

Fast pass thriller!

I enjoyed the characters the most. It was good see some familiar faces and some new ones. Unexpected events, as well as character growth is very well done. I am looking forward to the next in the series.
