Book Description from Bella Books:
“While the investigations go on in Dallas and Baton Rouge
after the disappearance of a senator’s daughter, FBI agents CJ Johnston and
Paige Riley are assigned to the sleepy backwoods of East Texas for a dead-end
assignment to infiltrate an all-girls school.
Random disappearances dating back fifty years and more raise
red flags that point to the tiny, isolated community of Hoganville. But CJ and
Paige fear there will be little distraction from the memories of the one-night
stand they shared six months ago.
Nevertheless, they integrate themselves into the lives of the teachers and staff, but soon the odd behavior of the townspeople has them convinced something sinister lurks there. Something, perhaps, that even the residents of Hoganville don’t know about.
Six-time Goldie winner Gerri Hill delivers thrills and
passion in the chilling Keepers of the Cave”
Review: 4 out of 5
stars
I’ve read most, if not all of Gerri Hill’s books and I have
to say from the very beginning this is NOT a typical “fluffy” Gerri Hill
story. It feels grittier, edgier, and it’s
definitely creepy. My usual modus operandi
is to read a Gerri Hill in one or two sittings.
In part because they tend to be light, easy, enjoyable reads. This one took me a few days, not because it
was less enjoyable but because it required more active participation on my part
to track the story; which means I had to think while reading. I do think that Gerri Hill managed to keep enough "romance" in the story to keep the die hard romance readers happy and it was intermingled in nicely with the weirdness going on in Hoganville.
If you are going to get hung up on the weirdness of the
things that happen in the story and whether they could be real or not, maybe
this isn’t the story for you… BUT if you like a creepy mystery with creepy
people, which I do, then this is definitely a nice change of pace.
I actually hope we see some more of Paige and CJ.
