Overall Review (spoilers)

This is a review for the first three books in the series.

A small town in Australia seems like the perfect place to raise your child. The perfect ideal place for people to live, where nothing ever goes wrong. However, Detective Wakeland quickly learns that there is more darkness to this town. From a kidnapping of her child, to the pain her own daughter goes through, to learning about the town’s dark past, Wakeland begins to undercover the darkness that exist in her cute small town. Can she help right historical wrongs that are causing pain today, or will the secrets get burned away?

These books can be read as stand alones, but to be honest I recommend reading it in order. The first is that it will make more sense, the second is it build suspense. The first and third book are top tier, the second book was more meh but I think it was just the topic that bothered me. There is a lot of child abuse in these books, so be careful with reading it.
