Excellently Done. In this entrant to the Creek Canyon series, we lose focus on the work of the male lead - while it is there, it isn't as prominent as the first book - while getting even more in depth with the emotional trauma of the female lead. Which, full disclosure here since it is such a sensitive topic for some, is domestic abuse. Bybee does an amazing job of bringing us in to Erin's worlds and her fears about them ever meeting. The suspense built up through one part of the book in particular is some amazing work, ratcheting up the tension to almost unbearable levels. But then the payoff comes rather suddenly in the closing pages of the book, and that is arguably the book's one flaw. Still, truly excellent work and very much recommended.
