When you come from a family the includes world renown author Peter Benchley who wrote JAWS, writing thrillers must be a gene passed down because this book is definitely a thriller. 

I went through a plethora of emotions while reading this book, fear, joy, sorrow, disturbed, excitement, exasperation, distress, exhilaration, pleasure, sadness, confusion and even grief.  At times I wasn't sure where the story was headed but I was drawn into the story so quickly and was unable to put the book down until I completed the last page and even then I could not get the story out of my mind.

There is mystery, suspense, romance and a cliffhanger.  The sequel has to be in the works and I can't wait to read it.  We are going to be hearing a lot about and from T. Marie Benchley in the future.  I just know it!
