This is the second book of the Bleak Harbor series, but it's more of a stand-alone. Absolutely nothing in common with the characters or story of the first novel, Bleak Harbor. There's an awful lot going on here, and at times it's hard to follow and keep track of the characters. Not a bad thriller...a little far-fetched, but entertaining.

Page turner

A good job was done weaving the characters together. I didn’t want to put the book down because I wanted to find out the fate of Ophelia and Bridget. A few turns in there that I was not expecting also.

Jubilee Rathman lives in her mansion on Purgatory Bay in Michigan. Once a rising soccer star, her entire family was wiped out by a Detroit crime family, the Petruglias. Jubilee has spent the last 12 years, plotting her revenge. And she unleashes hell on everyone who was involved, including the newspaper reporters who exposed her family, or was that the way it really happened? Michaela Deming, better known as Mikey, travels to Bleak Harbor, near Purgatory Bay for a hockey tournament with her daughter, Bridget. She quit the newspaper business after Jubilee's family was massacred. Katya Malone, sheriff in Bleak Harbor, has her own demons to wrestle. This book was slow going at the beginning, with four or five separate plot lines careening over the pages. However, as it became clear what was happening, the adrenaline rush set in.
