And then Kate discovers a secret cell phone hidden in the studio. . .with only one number in the call log.

Dru’s Short Musing:
This was a no punches, no holds barred, intensifying drama that exposed deep dark secrets that when revealed there was no going back to the norm.

Kate’s mom shoots a man who entered her studio and threatened her. While Kate wants answers, her mom runs away and that is when this story takes off to a world unknown to the Foxes. The author did a terrific job in telling this tale where nothing was left to chance and the mystery was “why.” The more I read, the more I became immersed in the story being told and with so many surprising plot twists, especially one I did not see coming, this suspenseful and intriguing tale of deceit had captured my soul. With a powerfully explosive conclusion, we are left with what happens next.
