I felt like some of the ending scenes came across as a little bit anticlimactic. The mystery thread is light and more my speed, since I dont like super scary, crime-based stories. I enjoy when an author gives a character an authentic history that feels real to me, as this one did. There is a nice atmosphere found in this story the feel of the small community is fully realized, and I loved the strong sense of heritage that Ashley has for her home.
