About this listen

Welcome to Verona Bay, a small coastal town where the secrets just won’t stay buried - and people aren’t always who they seem.

She was the one that got away....

Eight years ago, Serenity Washington watched as her twin sister was murdered. She was lucky to escape the same grisly fate. With her sister’s killer in jail, she relocated and tried to move on with her life. She married a man in the Air Force and started a family, but when her husband dies unexpectedly, she moves back to the last place she remembers being happy - Verona Bay, FL.

Now that she’s come home, it’s all starting again....

Within months of Serenity’s homecoming, she receives a "gift" - a bracelet from her sister that was never recovered after her death - and a taunting note. Terrified for herself and her young daughter, she turns to the local sheriff for help. But there’s only so much they can do without proof that the gifts aren’t more than sick pranks. There’s been no DNA, no fingerprints left behind - nothing to indicate who’s leaving them. As the horrifying gifts arrive with increasing frequency, Serenity has no doubt that she’s the ultimate target. But with her sister’s murderer - a confessed serial killer - still behind bars, she has no idea who’s stalking her.

She turns to the one man she’s been trying to keep her distance from....

Former Marine Lucas Jordan has been hung up on single mom Serenity since she moved back to Verona Bay, but she’s made it clear she’s not looking for a relationship. When she’s targeted, however, all bets are off. He won’t sit by while she’s terrorized, and with her and her daughter’s lives in danger, he’s prepared to stand his ground and protect them both. Together, they face the impossible task of trying to figure out who to trust before they all wind up six feet under.

fantastic storyline with angst and suspense

I've read all of Katie's Redemption Harbour series so thought I would try dark Memento. couple of things I wish was different, they keep using the word monster quite a few times which at the end had me eye rolling. I think they could use something a little coarser than monster. another thing is that i really would have prefered someone like Sophie Eastlake or Tracy marks to narrate this novel. Heathers voice doesn't seem to pack the punch needed for this heroine, and although I like Jeffrey and his voice he suits the Detectives or police officer persona really well, but I feel he lacks some of the emotion you would need as an everyday boyfriend as in Lucas for this instance. Katie had me guessing on who the culprit was and I thought I had it right but she was very clever with her writing and I did not find out until the very end so congratulations on keeping the book shrouded in mystery. I so want to read a few more of yours but there is a solo performance by Jeffrey and I'm not sure I can handle his female voice.
yet to make a decision on that one but overall this book kept you moving and I really couldn't pause it in many situations. if you like mystery and suspense and some steamy moments then this is for you enjoy.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
