Miller did use addiction as Bram's flaw though, a reason why she couldn't be believed or trusted no matter what she said or saw. loved that because it's a Kirsten Miller book I knew women would save the day (and my prediction wasn't wrong). I loved the sleepy, wintery, slightly gothic atmosphere. I loved her resourcefulness, drive, and determination. I didn't know why she was in Louth, and what had happened in NYC to force her there. I didn't know (but had suspicions) about what had happened to Bram to make her distrust people so much, especially men. I didn't know what the past and three dead girls had to do with the present.
I didn't know which characters to trust, and I didn't know how they were all tied into the mystery.

Eventually, she's picked up by a man her uncle hired to pick her up, which puts her on edge even though she's armed herself with a newly bought box cutter and bear repellant. There's a blizzard outside and she doesn't she feels like she's been forgotten. She's come to stay with her uncle at a large manor house he's remodeling.

The manor is creepy, and so are the locals. The tragedy left James a shell of the man Bram knew-and destroyed half the house he'd so lovingly restored. Months earlier, his beloved wife died in a fire that people say was set by her daughter. The only place left to go is Louth, the tiny town on the Hudson River where her uncle, James, has been renovating an old mansion.īut James is haunted by his own ghosts. It preys on the weakest, and young women are its favorite victims.Īll Bram wanted was to disappear-from her old life, her family's past, and from the scandal that continues to haunt her.
