New
York City children’s author Erinn Winters is haunted by a past no one knows,
and dark visions of death and danger that come to her without warning. But when
a desperate search for her estranged sister leads her to Wolf River, Montana,
Erinn suddenly finds her secrets, even her very life, at risk. And after
meeting notoriously sexy Jase Fortune, Erinn finds herself in another kind of
dangers – she could lose her heart.
Jase
Fortune is as committed to staying single as he is to running his booming
family ranch – until mysterious, gorgeous Erinn shows up. But someone is out to
destroy the Fortunes, and Jase finds himself willing to do anything to protect
not only his family but Erinn too. As the peril mounts, so do Erinn’s and Jase’s
feelings for each other, but the promise of love is threatened by deadly
secrets and vicious enemies, and a killer who will stop at nothing…
Wolf
River is about Erinn out to find her sister. She ends up in a tiny Montana
town and her sister is shacked up with a guy who truly cares about her, but he’s
living with his brother and his brother is not good news. As Erinn tries to
gain her sister’s trust, she makes friends with some of the most prominent
member of the town’s society and meets Jase. Jase finds himself helping her,
then caring for her, then eventually loving her.
At first I wasn’t sure if I would
like this book. From the description above it sounds a lot like a mystery
novel. I am not too keen on mystery novels but keep giving them a chance. I am
glad I did for this book. Surprisingly, it wasn’t really big into the ‘keep the
reader in the dark because I’m a mystery book’ feel but rather it felt like if
information was withheld it was because even the author didn’t know what was
going to happen. This made for a great read.
I was surprised at the twist
ending. I won’t give it away but it definitely made me really think back on the
rest of the book to remember what was given away and if I could have guessed
earlier in the book. I don’t think I could have and that made it such a great
twist. Good job, Jill.
In general, I really liked the flow
of the book. It kept pace and delivered information mixed into whatever was
going on. It didn’t feel like an information dump or an attempt to have the
readers catch up to what was going on. I really liked the fact that even though
it was a mystery, it kept most of the focus on the relationships between the
characters. So for all of that, I am giving this book 4.25 stars.
