What a thrilling ride this book was. Extremely well written and engaging. Susan Specht Oram knows how to get her readers attention from the very beginning of the book.

This is yet another wonderful book by the author and I found it very hard to put down. Set aside some extra time to read this book. It is well worth it." 5 stars Goodreads Reviewer

"In Shore Lake Jacklyn escaped from a mental institution where her son had her committed for his own nefarious purposes. Now he has invited himself to her Christmas party and, again, has his own devious agenda. This is one thrilling book! Not only is Jackie's son making himself comfortable where he is an unwelcome guest, but there is a kidnapping of a 13 year old girl as a secondary plot. The excitement intensifies when the town is snowed in and there is a power outage. I love the tough, resilient character of Jackie who stays one step ahead of her son and her friends who rally around her. The chapters are short and bounce back and forth between the party and kidnapping. The plot is intense and exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the ending will leave you wanting more. I will be anxiously awaiting the further adventures of Jacklyn and her friends." 5 stars Goodreads Reviewer
