Goodreads Synopsis
OLD SINS. NEW BLOOD.
Deputy Sheriff William
Shannahan doesn’t feel like a detective, at least not like the ones he admires
on TV. Not that he needs to be; the small town of Graybel, Mississippi, is a
peaceful place, with acres of farmland, neighbors who always take care of their
own, and noise from the outside world muted by a hundred miles of forest.

That silence is about to be
broken.
broken.
When a child is found dead in
the woods, the medical examiner deems it a dog attack. But the paw prints
belong to something far larger than any creature in the Mississippi forests,
and what animal would remove the victim’s eyes? Though no one believes him,
William can’t shake the feeling that a human killer lurks in the shadowed
woods.

My Thoughts…
Even comparing this book to Girl on the Train or Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo doesn’t do it justice. I’m shook. I’m blown away. I’m so confused, or maybe dazzled is the
right word? Either way, the room is
spinning, and I know that I didn’t drink any Valerian root in my tea… or did
someone slip me some?

No, no.
This is the real world, where things make sense and I can trust my
people… or can I?
This is the real world, where things make sense and I can trust my
people… or can I?
I don’t even know anymore. I now live in a post-Shadow’s Keep world and nothing will ever be the same.
I’m having a difficult time reviewing this book
in a normal way, because I can’t quantify my feelings in words. Have you ever been speaking to someone in another
language or in another country, and they say, “There is no literal English
translation?” That’s how I feel right now. There are no English words to
translate my feelings into.

I am shipping this book hard. Warning: some messed up stuff happens, but
keep going, pay attention, and keep your wits about you. I abbreviated the synopsis, because I
honestly think you should go in without any preconceptions. You can read the full summary at the link
above.

O’Flynn is a clinical therapist, writer, artist, wife, and mom. She
adores her amazing little boys, dark chocolate, tea, dirty jokes, and
back rubs with no strings attached, in that order. Meghan is the
bestselling author of The Jilted, Shadow’s Keep, and the Ash Park
series–which includes Famished, Conviction, Repressed, Hidden and
Redemption–and has penned a number of short stories including
“Crimson Snow” and “Alien Landscape.” She is
frankly amazed that her wonderful husband still agrees to live with
her after reading them and even more shocked that he seems to sleep
soundly.
