In this riveting, if overly ambitious thriller, Stevens raises significant themes bullying, troubled families, the difficulties ex-cons face but doesn't do them all justice. In 1998, high school sweethearts Toni Murphy and Ryan Walker went to prison for killing Toni's younger sister, Nicole a haunted girl with secrets no one guessed. The most damning and false testimony came from classmate Shauna McKinney and her friends, who had tormented Toni for months before the murder. Fifteen years later, Toni and Ryan return home on parole to Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Despite some wooden secondary characters, this is an exciting page-turner with an incisive twist.
