"Read in nook version. I enjoyed, I was glad that Jonah and Tia ended up together and was sorry for all the years that they spent fighting, when you know they were meant to be together. This is the 3rd book in a row for me that one of the main characters was named Lucy. Is this a sign? I knew something was off with her and her "twin sister" Lizzie. Lizzie the vet was just weird. Miles was too, the OCD, dont touch me guy, but you could tell he had a good heart. I felt sorry for him. I didnt for Lizzie, she was just a freak show. And really showed her colors by mutalating animals. Hello, you are supposed to help them, not kill them needlessly! I also felt sorry for Sue and Sam, with his drug addiction and ultimate death. The car dealer guy slipping Piper the date rate drug, in front of the chief, now that was bold. This had a little of everything, a love story, a mystery, etc. Wpould recommend."

" I couldn't put this down and then I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was a little creepy and a little sad. Well-written. "
— Wendy, 2/18/2014" Full review on my blog "
— SenoraG, 2/16/2014" One of the only Christian fiction authors I read. I really enjoy her characters, unusual situations, strong dialogue. She lets life be messy and real, and never gets preachy. Great story-teller! "
— Laurie, 1/24/2014" A perfectly gory horror mystery! I could guess what was going on well before the end, but it was still a great read. Would make a terrific movie!! "
— Cheryl, 1/23/2014" A bit of an odd story and I didn't find the writing smooth and easy to follow all the time. Some of the expressions were odd to me. Overall, the story was suspenseful, interesting and I enjoyed the characters. At the end, it seemed a little rushed and I would have liked more explanation of some of the outcome. "
— Skybirdsmom, 1/22/2014" I loved the characters in this book - there was a variety of personalities that kept me turning the pages. Also, while Heitzmann isn't writing the next great American novel, I enjoy her style of writing - she strives to deal realistically with ugly pasts, disappointments, etc. I recommend! "
— Kati, 1/18/2014" I could not get past the second chapter of this book. The repeated description of the animal cruelty was too much for me and I knew it would only get worse. "
— Sandy, 12/31/2013" This was a great read, I loved the suspense that revolved around getting to know your characters. I've always been a Heitzmann fan and this lives up to those expectations. "
— Christina, 12/8/2013" did not like it enough to finish it. "
— Francie, 10/19/2013" Delightful character study, creepy (if lightweight) mystery, all packaged in Heitzmann's ever-sterling prose. Thoroughly enjoyed it. "
— K.M., 8/4/2013" Christian fiction. I guess not too bad for Christian fiction. I am in a major slump! Need some good books to come my way..... "
— Ellice, 9/29/2012" Not what I was expecting. Great story! "
— Marta, 4/10/2012" Enjoyable mystery, but gruesome. Set in a small town. "
— Doris, 5/22/2011" I don't typically read romance novels, but this one was recommend, and I'm glad I listened. Heitzmann gives the reader strong characters, artful prose, suspense and just a little of the romance stuff. Recommended. "
— Lorna, 5/11/2011" "Indivisible" is a book that kept me guessing almost to the end on some things and very predictable on quite a few other things, but overall a good read. "
— Megan, 5/3/2011" This was a great read, I loved the suspense that revolved around getting to know your characters. I've always been a Heitzmann fan and this lives up to those expectations. "
— Christina, 5/3/2011" I noticed a few religious references but didn't think much of it. When I flipped the book over I saw it was a christian mystery! I didn't think it was preachy and really enjoyed the story. "
— Theresa, 3/22/2011" I typically like Kristen Heitzmann, but this particular book is a bit on the dark side. I did not like the general plot, nor the creepy nature of the antithesis of the hidden "bad character" in the book. "
— Celeste, 3/16/2011" This romantic, mystery-thriller felt like I could have been watching a day-time soap opera. Some of the chapters were so easily expected and the happy "couplings" ending just seemed too good to be true. The writing kept me reading until the end, but the story wasn't very believable. "
