Wow
This started out slow, at least to me, but it sure picked up. So much mystery and suspense. I am just happy that I don't have to wait for book 2. There are so many loose ends.

This book was a thrilling mystery from beginning to end. Whether it was snooping in people’s houses with Lindsay, discovering a dead body at a party, or hiding out from a killer. If At First, Book 1 in the Crimson Cove Msyteries, is a thrill ride. This “who done it” will leave you in suspense. I had to remind myself to breath with the turning of each page. I cannot wait to see what happens in Book 2.
If you are looking for a suspenseful page turner, look no further than the Crimson Cove Mysteries. Tara Brown is one of the most versatile authors I have ever read. I swear I don’t how she keeps it all straight.

But the problem with lifting stones to find the secrets hidden under them is that you never can tell just what lies beneath.

How can one little town have so many secrets? No one in Crimson Cove is who they appear to be. The lies, the secrets, the children…how do they keep it all straight? Tara Brown must be exceptional at note-taking and outlining to keep up with the evil genius that is her mind. Book 2, Second Nature, was even more thrilling, more suspenseful and more secret exposing than the first book. Just when you think you have had an “aha moment” and the killer has been exposed, the run is yanked from under you. Assume NOTHING.

This series keeps getting more and more twisted! This book was read in a day, I literally couldn't put it down. I can't wait to start Four Crimson Corners in the morning!

The Crimson Cove Mysteries is a psychological, thrill ride from the deviant mastermind Tara Brown. Just when you think this story cannot get any more twisted, sadistic, and psychotic; it does! Seriously, where does she come up with this stuff? She makes me glad I am a poor introvert. Lol.
Third Times A Charm is book 3 in the Crimson Cove Mysteries and tells of the undoing of Sierra. The terror, torture and payback just keeps escalating. Will they ever get to the bottom of this insanity? Tara Brown certainly knows how to weave a dark and twisted tale. I cannot wait till the entire series is complete so I can read it all through again!

Some things you expect in the spring in Crimson Cove, and others you don't.
The five girls have come to expect it all over the course of the eight months, but when a woman in black starts haunting their footsteps not one of them is prepared for the tidings she brings.
Or who she's related to.
But as the residents of our favorite little town start to squirm under the pressure of the mounting numbers of deaths, the girls start to see the pattern in the crimes being committed.
They start to see that no one is safe, because the killer can reach all four of the Crimson corners.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am going to go crazy waiting for the last book. Tara Brown has a way with captivating you. Even though this series was about a group of spoiled rich kids, it was amazing. The mystery and suspense. Usually this far into the same mystery I get bored, but not this time. This is a must read series and YES they need read in order. Impatiently waiting for Hang Five to release.

Tara Brown is ruthless and diabolical. OMG This Book/Series is the most twisted piece of fiction I have ever read. After completing Book 4, Four Crimson Corners, I have a strong desire to re-read book 1 to look for all the hidden clues I obviously missed. Tara must have a suspect board in her office like they use on Law & Order to keep track of all the players and their evil deeds.
Seriously if you haven't read this series, what are you waiting for? These are the characters that you hate to love. They all have despicable qualities. Anyone of them could easily be a psychotic killer.
I cannot wait for Book 5 so I can lock myself in my room and re-read the entire completed series!
