The Series Title Says it All - HOPE
Curtis and Amy both have things from their past that they need to deal with. Both of them have significant loss in their lives recently. Curtis losing a sister and Amy losing her brother. To complicate things it appears that Gina (the sister) and Ben (the brother) had a child together, Rainee. Curtis is raising this child along with his aunt. But Amy doesn't know the relationship.
Amy gets an E-mail telling her that her brothers death may not have been the accident that it is reported to be. Since the body was never found it is hard to know what exactly happened. But the most likely scenario is that he drown, or was attacked by a shark and died from that.
Colleen Coble will take you through a myriad of emotions as you journey through this story. You will feel love, hope, despair, pain, dismay, hurt over deception and fear over the loss of true love. These emotions are native to all humans and they stir a wild range of responses depending on your personality.
Coble develops each of the characters very well. Her writing is clean and direct. She always has a moral point to make and displays her understanding of human nature very well.
The mystery of the novel will also keep you turning pages. Although you will feel you solve it before the end (mainly because of all the detective shows on TV giving us lots of insight) you might just be surprised by what really happens.
I have only one small problem. I want to know what happens to a certain young teenage girl (maybe that is a spoiler, but I don't think it is much of a spoiler).
You will enjoy this novel and find that it is very much like all of Colleen's books, well worth the read!
