    This was a great read. This one picks up where the first one left off. Abigail is having memory problems of a car accident earlier in life. This is turning out to be very interesting and I can’t wait to read the next book

    Abigail continues to find strange things in what used to be her dads study. Why is there an old security system in the house and who put it there? Why is the security panel inside a desk bolted to the floor? Why does she have a memory of Jacob visiting her in the hospital? Why is there a death certificate for Jacob dated several days before the last time she knows she saw him? Now she and Cleo has found a safe with pictures of Jacobs Dad sitting in the study of her parents house? There are so many questions and no answers so far.

    Abby is at the house she grew up in and has some good some bad memories. She has a best friend that she did everything with that still lives next door and although their friendship suffered and dwindled from being apart now that Abby is back it is if they have never been apart at all. I have a best friend just like that.
    She has hired Byron over the last 10 years to take care of the house and make sure that if anything breaks or needs done he will handle it. They are now going through the whole house so that improvements can be made and she might be able to sell it.
    She makes a new friend in Bee but there is something that is off about her and Abby has not figured that out yet.
    Abby is having problems in the house and still can not go upstairs to her old bedroom to see it as she is afraid of all the memories it might open up.
    As always, Sage gives us a lot of information in a short time and an easy read. I just love her books.

    Abigail continued with her memory problems. Not sleeping much at all. And, not sure whether it was a real memory or something she imagined.

    She had Jacob's Death Certificate. But , after having to go to the hospital for one of her spells, one of the nurses recognized her, and the fact that JACOB had snuck into the hospital several times to see her, after the date on the Death Certificate.
    What was going on.

    Sage does it again.
    I received this ARC and am leaving my honest review.

    One of my favourite writers, Sage Parker, has totally captivated me yet again with this fantastic book and series. Abigail's memory issues from an accident as a teenager lead to flashbacks that draw me into the book and leave me wanting the rest of the series at my fingertips. I love this book and series.

    I read this book as part of an advance reader team and am voluntarily reviewing the book.

    Book 2 continues the search for answers to Abby's lack of memory with her strange medical issues keeping her on edge. Further news with her daughters in England with their father muddies the water leaving a bad taste in her mouth. The old homestead keeps presenting new mysteries, keeping Abby frightened to remain there alone. Bit by bit the back story to Jacob and Abby's relationship is being revealed. I still have no idea just where this tale is headed but isn't that what a good mystery is all about?
