He didn’t commit suicide but who’s going to believe her...
Frustrated at being fired from her latest job and overwhelmed by her consolatory family, Sam decides to move to the family’s cabin at the lake. A place she hasn’t been since her dad committed suicide there twenty years before. Or did he? Snooping is something she’s good at but someone seems to be taking offense to her looking too closely at what has been happening at the lake. What she discovers is shocking. Now she must uncover what’s real and what’s not. All that she learned growing up, may be false. Keegan who has recently moved to the area to finish his latest book is also trying to find out if his grandfather, who’d passed away ten years before, died of natural causes or was murdered? The descendants of the four families who own the land around the lagoon are dying off. Since Sam and Keegan are the only ones questioning the deaths, they find themselves working together to seek the truth. Are people being murdered? Who would benefit from their deaths? Why would there be barricades and armed guards at the north end of the lake? To stay alive, Sam and Keegan must find the answers and convince others, before more people are killed... including them.

Favorite Quotes
“You’re fired!”
Sam’s hands slammed down on the
arms of the office chair as she jerked forward. “Because some dude stole a
necklace from his wife, pawned it and got the insurance for it? And I had the
nerve to tell the story?”
“You’re fired!”
There was so much more she
wanted to say to him. To tell him. It wasn’t fair that she was getting kicked
to the curb for other people’s lies and secrets. It wasn’t her fault that she
felt truth should win out at all costs. Climbing to her feet, she stared hard
at her boss, debating about telling him again why she’d written that story. The
blue vein bulging from his forehead and the deep crimson color of his puffy
cheeks told her it was pointless and might just cause a heart attack.
“Since I was feeling so nice, I decided to
get him a coffee since I was getting one myself. He called me a stupid idiot
for bringing him old coffee, he wanted four sugars, not black and he no longer
used creamer. He then thrust it at me expecting me to get it for him.” Her
finger trailed over his chest. “So I did and I added in blue food coloring.
Jackass.”
Jaico howled. “Beautiful. Guess
you got him back.”
This was given to me in return for an honest review.
This is a story about Samantha “aka Sam” who was seven years
old when he father committed suicide but now she is twenty seven and again has
lost her job. She has worked so many jobs and doesn’t know where she fits in
the world. She decides that she needs to think and figure out what she wants to
do with her life so she convinces her mom to allow her to use the family cabin,
a cabin that no one has been in since her father’s death.
Then we have Keegan an author who wants to find out more
about his grandfather. His grandfather is dead. He has been staying at his
grandfather’s cabin and no one know it. He starts to look into his
grandfather’s death and according to the death certificate he died of a heart
attack at the age of sixty-eight. He will do whatever it takes to find out if
his gut is right or if it truly was a heart attack.
Sam is almost kidnapped and Sam and Keegan know there is
more to the death of her father and of his grandfather so they decide to work
together to find out what truly happen.
Will they find out the truth? Or will they end up like their family
members, dead?
This is a book with drugs, murder and lies. As you read you
start asking questions yourself. It was a well written story and kept you on
the edge of your seat.
