If fate suddenly made you more beautiful that you ever dreamed possible, would it be the beginning of a fairy tale, or your worst nightmare? The brutal attack should have killed anybody, but Nell Calder did more than survive. She emerged a woman transformed, with an exquisite beauty found only in fairy tales. Nell Calder deserved a happy ending. Instead, her descent into terror has just begun. Her attacker is still on the hunt, determined to finish what he's started. And Nell, protected by a new face, is just as determined to fight back and take her revenge. But to catch her prey, she will have to expose herself—even if it makes her a killer's prime target.

"Amazing book, first one of Iris' I had ever read. As long as you stay away from the romance side of her repertoire, she's good though sometimes she doesn't trust the intelligence of her readers but always a good yarn. "

— Amanda, 9/26/2010" This was an enjoyable thriller, but it was kind of predictible. And the author seems to have her favorite characters whom she was careful to protect - on occasion this seemed short changed. "
— Angela, 8/8/2010" Unspeakably good!<br/><br/><br/><em>Personal note:<br/><br/>I'm sentimental when it comes to this book and author. This was the first novel I ever read. One day I hope to have it signed by Iris Johansen.</em> "
— Crystal, 8/7/2010" This is part of my auditioning for new writers who have a slew of books I can enjoy. This one, not so much.... this is a kind of mystery/romance <br/>genre. Not for me. I like it a little more involved with complexities of character. "
— Linda, 7/19/2010" Good book!! The end will shock you!!!!!! "
