Without giving the story away, the book's chapters seem almost on repeat to the point of boring. Honestly we get it the background of the landscape is beautiful, but over and over. Also what happened to know all sides of the thoughts of the characters. This book is entirely based on Stella's point of view, while that may be great for some its not what I have come to enjoy reading from hers books, alongside with zero romance to read about.
Sorry to say the whole thing fell flat that I skipped pages to hurry to the end after pushing through.
Hopefully her next book will deliver the Christine Feehan I have come to enjoy for many years and will not be a turning point to the end of my reading journey.
Stella, Sam, and her circle of friends have all come to the Sierras to start fresh from their pasts, but their peaceful world is about to come to a halt. In their slice of peace and quiet comes a serial killer that they all know who is making murder look like an accident. It all starts with a nightmare that Stella has. She watches a murder unfold in her dreams. Can she find out who is committing the murders before it's too late without tipping the killer off as to how she knows that these "accidents" are no accidents, but murder.
Along the way she'll open her heart to those around her and discover that even though her friends have all come to the Sierras for a fresh start, they are her strongest allies, and each in their own way have become family to her. They will stop at nothing to help her bring an end to the killings in their own piece of paradise.
With this mystery suspense romance, Christine Feehan has once again proven she knows how to pull readers into a story and keep them there until the very last word.
Knightly is a small town in the Eastern Sierra Nevadas. Home to many who have found peace and escape from traumas and pasts they want to forget. Strong friendships have been forged in spite of the secrets or more likely because of them and the understanding some things don’t have to be shared.
Owner of the Sunrise Lake Resort responsible for building up the businesses and employment of Knightly Stella Harrison has become a much loved and respected citizen and friend.
When they are close by Stella can see the actions of a Serial Killer in her dreams. Her past trauma comes from discovering her father and another serial killer through them as a child and a teen and the terror and notoriety it had exposed her to, the lack of acceptance. She doesn’t want to lose all she’s found here due to her secrets being revealed.
However the dreams are happening again. Each night showing a little more before the killer strikes. These dreams and Stella’s resulting stress are written so well I found myself leaning closer to the page during them hoping to see more clue, help Stella figure out the location, the victims, even the killer.
Due to ‘edge of your seat’ circumstances she is forced to reveal her ability and what's happening to Sam, the resort handyman with secrets of his own, who has worked his way into her heart. Instead of denying her, he believes her. He gives support and becomes a partner in her search for this killer. Not your usual get the ice water heat level from Christine Feehan, it is complete and heart touching sweet romance that shows the attraction and passion. Shows these two grow as individuals and a couple as they search the Sierras, the community, and their lives for who might be endangering them and friends. It is full of Dreamy Sigh moments. Stella wants to protect Sam from taking action similar to the past he left. Him appreciating her concern, but knowing he can handle it and do what needs to be done, just as much as she has stepped forward to act with hers.
As the dreams evolve so does Stella’s determination to figure it out, meaning she’ll need to go to friends for insight. As she shares her secrets their bonds grow stronger, others begin to share their secrets. Which, along with other happenings keep the reader wondering, guessing the who what and why of the killer.
I love the bond of her friendships as much as the relationship with Sam. These women empower each other, help Stella see her dreams and ability to look at them in a more adult mind set than one of a terrified child. They all work together to try and thwart the killer, offer support and comfort when they can’t. Awesome banter and levity is shared at the right times always lifting each other.
Such a well built story unravels the mystery until the climatic conclusion and motive are revealed. Stella and Sam facing the pasts they came to the Sierras to move past becoming beneficial to keeping their home and the peace they found in each other.

I have been a big Christine Feehan fan for years. I only read the Carpathian series because I found the others too violent and sexual. Even with the Carpathian books, I would find myself paging past all the sexual chapters. This is the first of her books I didn't have to skip pages. I knew they had sex but I didn't have to have every detail. My imagination did that without a description of what was going on. Bravo - a book not rated X
I loved the story. It was a different type of mystery, A few times I was thrown off as to 'who done it'. I loved the romance. I could see how she can have additional stories with the lives of all of the ladies.
Ms Feehan has opened the door to a new contemporary series for herself and her fans.

Original Review:
Wow, well i felt compelled to write a review on this one because it seemed so out of the ordinary for a Christine Feehan novel. I could write an essay on the differences but i'll try to keep it brief...
Where to start:
- Sex: Hardly any. Depending on what you like about Christine Feehan the sex scenes can go either way. Way overboard or brilliant. I can go either way when I read her books but i have to be honest after a while the extreme sex can get a little boring.
In this novel she has really changed things up and while sex is definitely alluded to (no one is a virgin here) there is hardly any descriptions of the deed and literally no graphic imagery or kink which is generally the norm for one of her books.
- Paranormal: Again, very minimal. The main character has a specific paranormal attribute, but nothing like any of the other Feehan series: Drake sisters, Torpedo Ink, Scarletti curse or Ghostwalker series. Here it's present but down played as your fairly run of the mill premonitions / dreams.
Overall: It definitely feels like a crime / thriller novel that you'd be happy for anyone to know that you're reading. The main male character is practically perfect (you could call that paranormal) and there are some distinct relationship goals when reading about the two of them. None of that ridiculous miss-understanding business of people trying and almost succeeding in breaking them up and they both make it very clear they're in the relationship for the long haul.
There's nice set ups for the next books, if there are any and overall this is a really mature book. In many ways the way it written is almost like Christine Feehan has listened to every irritated reader out there that has ever left reviews and built a story that addresses all the blatant stupidity of cliched romantic trope. She written a book that doesn't irritate or make you roll your eyes.
Actually you know that film where the female lead runs up the stairs with a killer after her in high heels...or the male lead doesn't communicate and just tell the love of his life the truth....? That film that makes you want to scream at the them..? This book is the exact opposite of that.

The characters were well rounded & I quickly became invested in them
The story was full of hints, twists & turns & kept me interested.
I particularly liked the fact that there was heartache, failed attempts along the way so it wasn't tied up in a predictable neat bow
Now to my 'but'
It's a small thing but it crops up in most of Ms Feehan's books & it really annoys me, there are parts, character descriptions especially, that are very repetitive. Not the odd one either so after the first couple of times I find myself skipping pages , there is no need to repeat a description more than a couple of times in its entirety, we, as readers build a mental picture of characters as we read, the description becomes the person as we perceive them ourselves. In our minds eye
Apart from that personal pet hate I did really enjoy this book & there is scope for a series with other characters as they all have interesting histories & a story of their own to be told.
I would definitely but the next book of it does develop into a series which is the best recommendation I can give. Enjoy 😉

I can see that the writer wanted to focus on mystery rather than their standard sexual content, but this went to far other way meaning that the relationship element felt detached from story.
Going to just keep reading the earliest books, which were brilliant and will give it a bit before dip back in and see if improved. At end of day a great book does not have to be a really long read.
