About this book
A telephone ringing in the dead of night signals the beginning of a journey into fear as MaryAnne Carpenter hears the shocking news: her friends the Wilkensons are suddenly, inexplicably dead, their only child, MaryAnne's godchild, abruptly orphaned and dependent on her. Even as MaryAnne rushes to embrace her young charge, the disturbing questions mount. Was it a tragic mishap that took their lives - or murder?
As winter closes in on the majestic ranch where the young family lives, the darkness and danger of nature and the unimaginable evil around them seem to work in tandem. An insatiable and brutal killer is closer than they could ever have imagined.

When the author leaves you wanting more: more about the characters because you have become invested in them, and more about the adventure, because it was an interesting and exciting yarn, she's done her job engaging her reader! If you don't like to take a flight of fancy, don't read this book, because Katie Hines really tells a whopper here, creating a fantasy spun from her imagination and the best threads of Knights Templar Lore.

Is it worse than what's in your home? Loved this creepy story. The characters were all so memorable and realistic. He set the scene so you felt you were seeing it with your own eyes. I would not be surprised to see this become a movie one day. )

I really liked this book. It’s probably my 2nd favorite John Saul book (1st being Second Child). Although I didn’t like the portrayal of any child being hurt or killed. I really enjoyed the setting. Another thing I like about this book is how John Saul shows how cruel children can be to each other; something that is quite common. ) One person found this helpful
