RaveThe Barnes & Noble ReviewRoberts is at the top of her suspense game in the opening chapters of the novel, which are eerily prescient and hopefully not portentous ... That’s one of the unique things about this powerful, engaging novel: there is no 'big bad' as there often is in other Nora Roberts classics: no ex-lover from the past coming back for revenge, no crooked businessman trying to put a family’s legacy into the ground…there is evil and darkness for sure, in the forms of the prejudiced, and of the power-hungry…and of course, of The Doom itself. But the evil our heroes and heroines must combat is the evil we see every day when we look into the mirror. When we let down our fellow humans by being selfish, or afraid: It’s us.
