     Shay Morgan has stayed hidden for a long time. Living a reclusive life in Earth’s End, Alaska, she’s as far away as she can get from the trauma of her childhood and the man who hurt her long ago. But terror takes over Shay’s life yet again when an unknown stalker steals away the fragile peace she’s built for herself—targeting not only her but the one man who’s ever managed to get past the walls she’s built around herself.

     Elliot Winter has lived through being falsely accused before—it ruined his military career. Now it’s happening all over again. And this time, his accuser is a twisted impostor who’s targeting his ex-girlfriend, Shay. Despite a fierce mutual attraction, Shay and Elliot broke up because Shay couldn’t let her guard down, couldn’t let Elliot in. But now they both need to trust each other to confront a psycho who seems to know all their secrets.

     The beginning of this book was really interesting but as the story progressed I got more and more annoyed by the repetitiveness of what was going on and how much of a wimp Shay sounded.

     Shay wants to find the person trying to steal her identity and after so many discovered clues she's still looking for more evidence.

     I liked the mystery behind her situation and her background story. It touched me and in my opinion, shed some light on what victims of abuse might feel and in part I understand why she was the way she was but it made it hard for me to connect with her as a character and made it hard also to see the connection to Elliot.

This is my first Shiloh Walker novel and I have to say it might be a while before I pick another of her books (if ever).
