OMG! Willow Rose is brilliant, and her Emma Frost Mystery series is now a top contender for a favorite surprise in 2021. Starting in 1977, sixteen-year-old Astrid runs the emotional gambit from surprise to fear to despair in what she now realizes is a dire, life-threatening …
As being the very first book read by Willow Rose Id have to save it was great!! I am one who tries to figure out the bad guys before the story ends..and I totally didnt get it. I was off by a long shot. As a page turner and keeping me interested from page one I have successfully found a new Author to add to my favorites..I look forward to reading …
Action and suspense, great story line, as in all of Willow Rose books. Love her books !!!
I did NOT finish this book
I don’t do well with these types of books. I liked the title and thought I’d give it a try, not knowing about the time jumps. This starts in 1977, then goes to 2012 and jumps back and forth with each chapter. I don’t understand what Astrid in 1977 being pregnant locked in a cellar and to do with Emma and her kids moving …

She moves there with her two children although her teenage daughter doesn’t want to go. A wealthy old woman on her street is found murdered. Emma finds herself trying to uncover the dark secrets of the island. While …
I loved this book. It was full of exciting and scary twists and turns. Willow Rose does not let us down when it comes to a great thriller
Oh Astrid. My heart is breaking and I’ve only read the Prologue. I am one of those people that love Prologues and Epilogues.
Emma Frost is new to the island due to an inheritance, a house from her grandmother. let’s see what kind of trouble will come her way, seeing I know Willow Rose from other stories of hers I have read and she tends to blow …
This book is a real page-turner. I chose it because of the name and couldn’t put it down. It is quick and easy to read with a surprising ending.
Don’t start reading this book unless you want to be up all night, because you won’t be able to put it down until you know who this nutcase is whose actions have your heart pounding!
Well written book with likable characters and intriguing plot. Vivid descriptions of settings and scenes create an immersive read.
What an amazing thriller!
Willow Rose continues to impress and leave me in terrifying AWE!
This book was masterfully written, just phenomenal!!
Itsy Bitsy Spider was riveting, mind boggling, and an outstanding murder novel that had me in total shock.
Imagine Silence of The Lambs and the Cleveland, Ohio kidnapping story weaved together.
If you …
The four stars for this novel are only for the great mystery and on-going suspense contained in this novel. Ms. Rose is great in those respects. However, I’m not a fan of horror novels, and this book has more than its share of memorable mind-numbing scenes. I do understand these revolting descriptions intensified the depravity of the evil …
I could not read this one in one sitting–there are parts that are so horrifying I had to close my Kindle and come back to it in the daytime! Everything they say about this book below is totally correct. This book will take you to the depth of deranged peoples souls and back again.
So who is murdering all these people in this small town—-the …
Suspenseful thriller!
Willow Rose has such a unique and diverse writing style, whether it is a suspenseful thriller or a horror story that makes you afraid to sleep at night! I read one of her books for the first time not that long ago and now she is one of my favorite authors.
Emma Frost inherits her grandmother’s house on Faroe Island in …
I could not put this book down.
Just when I thought I knew who the killer was–I find out that I was mistaken.
There are a lot of twists and turns that just keep going on.
Great story build up—and surprise ending.
I thought it was pretty good. It was not scary but the story was good.
This was the first book I read from Willow Rose. It hooked me from the beginning and kept me reading into the next book in the series. I have read this entire series and love how the author wraps you into each story with an original perspective and characters that are believable.
Sometimes secrets can kill. This little town of Fanoe has a history that can do some serious damage. Their religious beliefs go beyond the norm.
When Emma inherits her Grandmother’s home it seems that it may be an answer to her struggling. The only thing is that she has inherited more than just the house and land. Just as her and her children …
At 83 and home bound I read a lot. Downloaded your free book, started reading, missed a meal and LOVED the adventure. Kept me guessing until last chapter and that is HARD to do!
The book itself is very well written. I think I have chosen most of the key descriptive words available here ~ a great book if you are into dark stories. I am not. For this reason alone I gave it 3 stars. I tried the next in the series to see if it was just this book that was unsettling to me; it wasn’t. To all out there who like the dark and …
