"Again you have a great mix of old and new characters and as with the last few stories, other stories are foreshadowed. The plot line in this story was not amazing per se but it was as strong as an iron beam and you did a great job basing a story off it."

"I'd call this one a 'transitional story' in that it doesn't really seem to have a momentous conclusion, instead, a bunch of characters we've come to know and care about who go through important transitions in their lives. It's good to see so many from your other books who've matured gracefully and successfully. I loved the scene in the storm on the island. I can't help but feel bad seeing that Mark and Jackie never had children and I'm amazed at the energy Josh and Tiffany put into their lives."

"I thought that this was one of your best stories. I certainly was a feast for those of us who've got to know Spearfish Lake in your earlier work."

"As usual, you've put together a fine cast of characters in intriguing situations and added just enough suspense to make the story a 'page-turner.'"
