This was
the most unusual and spellbinding book I’ve ever read that involve the Amish
people. It was an unusual read. I read it fast, it was one of those you
didn’t want to put down and I didn’t see some of the twists and turns
coming. I would recommend it to anyone
who like to read about the Amish or like to read mysteries. The characters were well written and the
storyline was really good. It was a
little slow starting up but it soon sped up.
It doesn’t have as much of the Amish people in it as the cover makes you
believe, but the main character helping her search for her sister is Amish.
I

Description
as found on NetGalley:
Courageous and vulnerable, April has survived Philadelphia’s tough city
streets. But when her sister disappears, April’s search will lead her to the
Pennsylvania Amish countryside—where the peaceful setting belies a brand of
danger all its own . . .
With a
childhood shattered by alcoholism and abandonment, April learned the hard way
to trust only herself and her younger sister, Rose. But suddenly, Rose is gone
without a word—and April’s purpose in life is to find her. She has only one
ally: Joseph Young, a handsome Amish man with whom she’s struck up an unlikely
flirtation in the bakery where she works. He’s knowledgeable, steadfast—and
when they join forces, April’s life takes a radical turn . . .
In the
heart of Amish farm country, April and Joseph grow closer. Yet April fears
there’s no future for them. Especially when vicious, too-personal warnings and
strange attacks make her wonder just whom Joseph is really trying to protect.
And as her unconventional investigation roils a community with much to conceal,
April will find some secrets are killer—and some dreams may be too lethal to
trust . . .
