Hilde is a little disturbed when her friend Dana invites a long lost cousin to come and stay for an indeterminate amount of time. And from day one, her instincts prove right. Dee Anna isn't just mysterious, but she seems to be the cause of many of Hilde's most recent accidents. Growing more worried for her friend, Hilde finds out what it's like to have everyone think she's crazy, while this stranger grows closer and closer to Dana.
Hilde is probably the best written character that I've come across in the series so far. She has sense, speaks her mind, but still acts like a normal person. And she's written so well that you actually feel frustrated right along with her when it comes to the situation. Dana grows dumber and dumber with each book unfortunately. She starts out so strong but becomes less of herself with each additional book. Same with her husband. I realize we're focused on new characters, but I'd like to see the original ones make a comeback. The antagonist in this story was exceptionally well written. You knew who was trouble from the start, but still wondered what lengths they could go to and just how psychopathic they could get.
Like I said, you knew from the start of this book what you were getting into. But that didn't stop it from being an on the edge of your seat type of book. I was worried the whole way and eager to find out what happened. And there was even some romance in this book (and a small sex scene) which compared to the amount of romance thrown in on the previous two books is a lot. It was still fast paced though, but not as bad as the first two. This one didn't feel as if you were running a sprint while reading it.
Much better than the first two. I'm now eager to read the fourth book, especially since it's a Christmas one.
