Rae is still her fearless and intelligent self but now puberty is hitting (her poor parents). You can feel the suspense, tension and pain. Kellen is trying to survive a maniacal killer. The pacing in the first half is more laid back (feel the island vibe) with the second half ramped up like a person after drinking three espressos in a row. The family explores the island thanks to the three bikes Max had shipped in for them and they get reacquainted. The family moves to the remote Isla Paraiso with a cook, Olympia Paolerio and the two islands caretakers, Jamie and Dylan Conkle. When Mara resurfaces and is determined to get revenge, Kellen is not strong enough to go after her on her own. The therapist recommends piano lessons which is torture for Kellen and everyone else in the family including Luna, Rae’s dog (everyone’s a critic). She returns home still weak and with one hand that is refusing to cooperate. Kellen does survive the surgery, but she has a long recovery.

She is denied her wedding night and honeymoon when the bullet in her brain shifts requiring immediate surgery. Kellen Adams Di Luca has gone through so much in the last few years. Each book in this fast paced series can be read on its own since the author provides a recap (just enough to catch you up, but not too much as to spoil the other books in the series for new readers).
