Blue Sage

Written by Anne Stuart

Narrated by Charlie Kevin

Ellie Johnson Lundquist survived the massacre that killed her parents and decimated the town of Morey’s Falls, Montana. Now, with the anniversary of that day putting everyone on edge, someone has walked into town, throwing everything off-balance.

Fifteen years ago Tanner’s father took an arsenal to the town square. A lone wolf, Tanner has spent his life on the road, trying to escape that memory, but now he’s come back, ready to face his father’s past and his own.

Strange things have been happening in town, and Tanner’s an easy target. His presence unsettles everyone, especially Ellie, who’s eager to get him out of her life for good. There’s no way she can be attracted to the son of a killer. No way he could want her.

But as the anniversary of the massacre draws closer it’s starting to look as if history is going to repeat itself. Ellie and Tanner are thrown together in a race against time to find the new killer before history comes back to haunt them and destroy any chance of a future they might have together.

Nicely done, but the epilogue was unnecessary and belittles the character.

It wasn't as good as the last book I've read from this author. It took me a while to warm up to the main characters, especially Tanner. But I still enjoy it and will be looking at other books

[Oana Anton · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the story and the narrator. Anne does have a template of woman and men fall in love. Woman needs to run after the man at least 5 times until he realizes he can love her. Nevertheless, not a bad story.

[Nancy Vieth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

An amazing story about letting go of the past, about healing, and love. The narrator did a fantastic job!

Ellie is the lone survivor of a public massacre has been made a "pet" and coddled by the small town for almost 15 years. When the shooter's adult son comes back to town, she decides the easiest way to make him leave is to help him understand and find his way back into the road. But when reminders of the past pop up repeatedly... Including animals bring killed around time.. they have to figure out who before one of them becomes a victim.
Well written with insight into the characters, not the fastest paced mystery but it was a good story.

I ❤ the characters! I found myself rooting for Tanner and Ellie, excited about the twists and turns the story took. The characters are so well written, complicated and quite honestly a pain in the rear at times. Coming from small-town USA, the plot and characters are so relatable it's scary. Oh, and I called it from the beginning...totally not disappointed!

Love, mystery, engaging characters and a great story. My only problem is that the narrator, though very good mostly, made the western voices sound so southern! I live half the year in Augusta, Ga, the other half in Montana, and I had a difficult time realizing the story took place in Montana, also Doc sounds New England!!!
Still I give it 4.5 stars

I love Anne Stuart's writing. This is the story of Charles Tanner Jr. and his coming to terms with tragic actions of his father. Finding peace with the past and the ability to love now.

Charles Tanner Jr. walked into Morey's Falls Montana realizing he was lighting a fuse on a powder keg. He knew his appearance would reignite the townspeople's pain and anger over his fathers actions- especially for Ellie Lundquist, the only surviving victim.
