This was very good and I when I was finishing it up I, often, wonder if some author’s start with the end of books first and then start chapter 1?

Aurora is a small town nestled in the ancient forest alongside the shores of Minnesota’s Iron Lake. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to 12-year-old Cork O’Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself.

This is not my usual Genre, but I did enjoy this zombie book. I did not realize it was such a long one until after I was already knee deep. I’m glad I stuck with it because it really was good.

I rounded up from 4.5 to 5. I liked the suspense that ran all through the book and how the author just gave you just enough to keep it exciting. Good characters that were not too over the top.

Very good
Reviewed: 02-10-21
I enjoyed this book very much. It was a great story of love that is lost in death, but somehow regained and built on. It had a nice suspenseful end that carried a nice twist. This is not really my genre but Danielle Steel never disappoints.
