Meribel Mills is an actress who moves across the country with her daughter, Honor, to escape a stalker. She's nicknamed the stalker Marker Man because all of his letters are written in marker. At one point, she even thinks her ex-husband is her stalker. My first book by this author but this one just wasn't for me. Had a hard time getting into it and kept confusing Cam and Cooper. There were some typos in the advanced reader copy that also threw me off.

I thought this would be a four star but I think it settled just below that for me. I enjoyed the general plot, the little bit of mystery, and the basics of the family drama but it started to get a bit heavy handed with the church people towards the end. I understand that was part of the larger commentary on race but it didn't really seem to be the best way to do that. I wanted more focus on Leia and her sister and on getting to know Sel more than that.

Still good though, I'd recommend.

I expected this book to be somewhat light hearted at the beginning, but that quickly changed. It became a novel of suspense that kept me reading. An incident 30 years previously affects the lives of 3 families as one seeks revenge. My only complaint is that I didn't care for the ending at all. As I've noted before, it's almost as if the author came to her allotted number of pages and had to end the story.
