What stood out most to me was the atmosphere—Cathrine has a way of making the setting feel alive, with its whispers of danger around every corner. The mystery kept me guessing, and while some parts felt a little predictable, I was still completely invested in finding out the truth. The romance balanced things out beautifully, giving me those heartfelt, emotional moments in between the tension and suspense.
This book reminded me why I enjoy Catherine Cowles’ writing so much—it’s cozy but suspenseful, heartfelt but still gripping. For me, it was 5 stars: emotional, twisty, and exactly the kind of romantic suspense that makes for a perfect weeknight escape.
