    About this ebook

    Can love transcend death?

    There's something about Felipe-Janssen knives, the fancy ones you used to be able to get at Milano's on Tenth Street in downtown Grand Forks. My Uncle Phil got us a set of them for Christmas a half dozen years back, the ones with the guaranteed EversharpTM blades that come in one of those fancy velvet-lined boxes.

    Most of them are gone now. Misplaced or thrown away. All except the filleter. I was always so careful to keep that one hidden away. I wanted to make sure it wouldn't get lost or
    misused like the others.

    ***********
    Three summers. That's how long seventeen-year-old Emma Harris has been secretly watching Jesse, the boy her uncle hires to fix the fences on their remote North Dakota ranch. Now, three years after her father's death, Emma is ready to make him hers. There's just one problem, and it's her mother.

      Interesting. Creepy. Not sure how else to describe this one. I like the writing, and the main character is really creepy, especially the part about the cutting. The twist definitely got under my skin.
