Holy cow! Although this book had many characters, it wasn't all that difficult to follow, especially if you've been reading the entire series. If you hadn't read any of the other books, you might find it a bit difficult to understand. Yet, it was a fantastic edge of your seat read. I recommend this book whole-heartedly to anyone who likes mysteries, alternate lifestyles, espionage, and just straight action adventures!

Welcome to Rockton, a place that most of us would hate needing to go live. This is where you go to escape your life, whether you need a breather from 'real' life or you are escaping a possibly justifiable crime. You pay to live here -deep in the backcountry, no phone, no electricity, grizzly bears, wild people and all!

What a ride this was, and the storyline had me a bit worried that this would be the last book in the series. But upon further reading, I don't think this is the end, folks, and thank goodness for that!

I bought this series on my own dime. Still, I was lucky enough to be offered the opportunity to read an early reviewer's copy of this. However, I will always buy my own copy, so the author will be encouraged to keep writing this series!


SYNOPSIS:  "In #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's next Rockton book, A Stranger in Town, the biggest mystery is the fate of the town itself.


Detective Casey Duncan has noticed fewer and fewer residents coming in to the hidden town of Rockton, and no extensions being granted. Her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, presumes it’s the natural flux of things, but Casey’s not so sure. Something bigger is happening in the small town they call home.

When an injured hiker stumbles from the woods, the sole survivor of a hostile attack, it’s all hands on deck. Even a member of the elusive Rockton council comes in to help. This council member also comes bearing news: Rockton is being shut down due to the hostile situation.

Casey and Eric must now race to save the town that has allowed residents to have a fresh start, away from the mistakes of their past, while also getting to the bottom of this latest attack."
