Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-05 00:00:00 Shawn Gravelle I love how the story unfolds with going back in time when the events actually took place and then unfolding the mystery in present day. The book has a very dark tone and that's probably one of the things I liked so much about it. I don't think the story focuses as much on the sibling rivalry as how the tragedy has shaped Lila's life. I didn't connect at all with the parents but really liked all the other characters. It's definitely worth reading.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-27 00:00:00 G Avidan I loved this book! I had this paperback for some time and I was reminded of it again when the author's new book, A Dual Inheritance was recently reviewed. This is a compelling tale of sibling rivalry, jealousy and the consequences of pent up anger. No one character is perfectly good or perfectly bad, which makes the family dynamics all the more real for me. The novel is suspenseful, even though the tragic main event happens early on in the story. Still, I was captivated until the end as layers and riddles of the story began to peel away. I couldn't put this one down and I look forward to reading her new book.
