This is the second book in this series I have read. The first one was a bit confusing to me but now that I have a background in the story, this new book flowed well for me.

The local of the book is a beach side community near LA – I’m kind of reminded of Hermonsa or Redondo Beach. The people in this town are fairly close (which wasn’t my experience in LA!) but nice to know there are areas were there is still a small town vibe in such an urban spot.

That was on November 10, 2017. I was released from the hospital nine days later – weak, still looking for answers as to what happened, with a long recovery ahead – but alive.
