As the novel goes on, it is revealed that Cadence is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which prevents her from remembering exactly what happened. After a traumatic brain injury that happens during summer fifteen on her grandfather's island, she appears to need more guidance and confidence-bolstering from her cousins who she feels are ignoring her, but she doesn't know why. She is in love with Gat, the nephew of her aunt Carrie's partner. Cadence values her family and treasures the summers they spend together. The narrator and protagonist of the novel, Cadence is the oldest of the Sinclair grandchildren. Lady Assassin tiptoes up behind me and plunges a big old kitchen knife deep into my left shoulder. I've got the water running full throttle because I'm Anthony Costello and I never do anything halfway. "The lady assassin approaches me from behind," I continued, "as I'm rinsing my mug. I wasn't going to let the department pin a murder on her-especially not when it was me who sent her to work for Costello in the first place. "As ticked off as I am right now?" Detective Heidi Haagen asked. I'm probably ticked off at having to do my own dishes." It's early in the morning, and either the help's asleep or they haven't arrived yet. "I'm Anthony Costello, accountant to the mob, nephew of top dog Vincent Costello. "Assume for a second that it was a female killer," I began. I took a coffee cup from the sink, started the faucet running. "LET'S KILL him again in slow motion," I said. I whisper quietly to myself, whilst visually checking that everything is switched off, my fingernails clicking together. My fingers form the familiar shape: the index and middle finger finding the thumb on each hand.

It left me wanting more, so much more." - "Readers will find it hard to put down this suspenseful, scary, compulsively readable adventure." - Kirkus Reviews "Katie's an original character, and her thoughtful rebellion makes her an interesting addition to supernatural fictions's gallery of strong heroines. What I loved about Laura Bickleâs The Hallowed Ones and what seemed to set it apart from other young adult books, for me, was the use of faith as a theme. Laura Bickle's debut novel for young adults has quickly become my favorite dystopian novel of 2012. The Hallowed Ones by Laura Bickle Book Review is an excellent story featuring the vampires of yore and a brave Amish girl named Katie who is tested.

They got to throw some icy snowballs, but it wasn't quite the same as being in the middle of a real storm. It was just before Christmas when my husband and I took our kids to a farm with a snow machine. Living where we do means that my kids have never seen snow before. It was said that it snowed on the valley floor here in the mid-70s, but that's so long ago that I don't think it counts.
