Another gem found among the pebbles! Candice Fox is a new author to me and one that I will definitely follow. In fact, I already have the next one in this series on my kindle and can hardly wait to get started on it.

Eden and Eric Archer , brother and sister, witnessed the murders of their parents. The men who killed them botched what was supposed to be a kidnapping for ransom. So there they are .... stuck with two kids who now have no relatives to pay ransom. The men decide to take the kids to Hades ... the man who can 'fix' things...and make things disappear. Like bodies.

Hades cannot kill innocent children ...even evil-doers sometimes have a line they won't cross. So he decides to keep them as his own.

The Archers are now detectives, but they have secrets they don't share with anyone else. Following the death of her partner, Eden has a new partner ... Frank Bennett, who finds Eden attractive ...but mysterious. Eric doesn't like his sister's new partner and doesn't hesitate to let him know.

When a series of murders take place, Eden and Frank, are the lead detectives. Frank accidentally sees something of Eden's that makes him start looking deeper into her life. He finds it's like looking into the abyss and getting lost.

To add anything else at this point would be giving too many spoilers, so I will only add that there are so many unexpected twists and turns that I just could not put this one down. The ending just about blew me away!

A definite 5 star rating from me.
