If any of my friends would like to read a new Canadian author, Susan Philpott is good She is entertaining and strong in her character development The fact that both this novel and its prequel, also read and reviewed by me, discuss a Canadian Line is curious for us Canadians Yet this line is not without precedent as there has been at least two young people s help lines across the country that I was aware of in the sixties and seventies especially during the Hippie Era when many a youngster became [...]

Originally posted on citygirlscapes.A couple of years ago, I was introduced to Susan Philpott s Signy Shepard in the thrilling Blown Red I remember not expecting too much when I was sent the book, but I really enjoyed it and was an instant fan of Signy When the follow up novel Dark Territory was released, it somehow squeaked past my radar, but as soon as I realized I missed the train, I did what I could to catch up.In my opinion, Dark Territory was even better than it s predecessor What I missed [...]

4.5 stars Won as part of dgiveaways Easy reading mystery thriller Interesting subject matter underground railroad for victims of domestic violence I could have done with about 17 less your fat friend s from the villain though He could have changed up his vocabulary a bit Continuity from book 1 which I didn t read was addressed and mostly just confused me a few times before I kinda put it together Now I understand why many procedurals do a mini summary of previous plot threads Great read within t [...]
