There was a huge gap of time between my reading of book 3 and the reading of book 4 then I jumped right into book 5, this book.

I am not sure what stalled my interest in this series, but I wrote all that to say reading book 4 and esp book 5 made me all excited about this series again.

Odelia is a remarkable character, strong, loyal, smart. In this we find out her father died a few months ago, and in his papers Odelia finds information on her long ago runaway mother. So Odelia heads back to the East Coast to find some answers, mainly why did you just up at leave me when I was 16?
What she finds is her mother in a corn maze covered in blood over a dead man. The tangled web of deceit is puzzle til the end. No one is telling the truth and Odelia's mother isnt talking to anyone about what happened in that corn maze. It is the many layered mysteries that also make this series fun. They are not too easily solved, and no real red herrings thrown in, just usually a busy bunch of characters and a final show down.

So Now I wish I had book 6, 7, and 8 to keep reading.
