I had a hard time putting this book down. From the first page I was drawn into a mystery that started 10 years ago. It was interesting trying to figure out who the killer or killers were, and why they were after this group of friends. This book takes place in Cedar Keys, if you haven't read any of the other books Post has written about his place, you need to. It's not necessary to read them in order to enjoy this book, but Carol J. Post is an amazing author and you don't want to miss out. It all started the night of their high school reunion. A night that is supposed to be full of good memories takes a turn for the worst, and the killer could be anyone. Having two law enforcement officers should have helped them have a chance at catching the killer, but instead they always seem to be a step behind. Caleb and Amber knew each other in high school, but they are both totally different now. When Amber is revealed as one of the intended targets Caleb wants nothing more than to catch whoever is killing his former classmates. Will they figure it out in time? Or are they all destined for more heartache? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful mystery. Piecing the clues together kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed seeing the characters feelings grow for each other. And enjoyed playing detective right along with them. I received a copy of this book, and was in no way forced to post a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I'm sad that this is the last book in the Cedar Key series. I have enjoyed the characters and the location! However, this final book was a good suspense and ended the series in a great way! It begins at a 10-year high school reunion and right off the bat, someone is murdered! The story revolves around a group of high school friends and an incident that happened while they were in high school that still hasn't been resolved! Police officer, Amber Kingston, was part of that group and Detective Caleb Lyons is also at the reunion. Between the two of them, they begin to work on the case but because Amber is actually a part of the high school group, she can give Caleb insight into what happened back in high school. Then, more members of the group start dying and it's perfectly clear that someone is targeting this group and Amber and Caleb need to figure out who the killer is before Amber becomes the killer's next victim! I enjoyed the interaction between the two main characters - especially their backstories. I also liked the other characters in the book. I couldn't put the book down....it was very exciting!
