From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—Mystery author George continues the story of Becca King, who can hear the "whispers" of other people's thoughts. On the run from her evil stepfather, Becca was left on Whidbey Island by her mother in The Edge of Nowhere (2012) and found her powers beginning to grow even as she wove her life into the fabric of the island in The Edge of the Water (2014, both Viking). This time around, the arrival of three new teen islanders at the same time as an arsonist begins menacing the town throws Becca's world into chaos. Isis and Aiden, siblings from Palo Alto, CA, immediately raise suspicions, while Parker, a handsome fiddler from Canada, pursues two friends with hurtful results. When the arsonist burns down an abandoned house, killing a homeless man inside while the teens of Whidbey party nearby, the protagonist and her friends begin separate investigations of the newcomers, searching for the truth. Many plot threads are left dangling for subsequent books, including where Becca's mother is, why Aiden is so interested in Becca's past, mentor Diana's seemingly failing health, and whether the heroine will truly ever be safe from her stepfather. Still, the central mystery wraps up nicely, if a bit hastily, and readers eager to revisit the residents of Whidbey Island will find much to love here. VERDICT An enjoyable, if overly long, addition to the mysteries of Whidbey Island.—Elisabeth Gattullo Marrocolla, Darien Library, CT

Another richly plotted installment in the Whidbey Island Saga By Samantha @ YABC The third book in the Whidbey Island saga continues the story of Becca King and her group of friends. Becca is still trying to hide from her stepfather; closer to her, mysterious fires are occurring on the island, making the new arrivals to the island look suspicious.Balancing Becca’s personal mystery with the fire mystery, the plot is full of tension and secrets. Elizabeth George does a wonderful job of juggling the many different characters of the island and their own personal problems while interconnecting everything with the larger suspense plot. Becca starts to take a more active role in the mysteries this time, even hinting at potential detective skills towards the end. The paranormal element with Becca’s mind reading slowly starts to grow as well, making the plot rich, detailed, and complex.As Jenn did in the previous novel, Hayley now plays a bigger role in the story line. Her character, full of so much sadness and uncertainty, develops magnificently as she encounters a new guy, family trouble, and college applications. Her area in the story feels realistic and very relatable for teens whose next steps are unsure.Though I enjoyed the plot, the writing feels a bit choppy at times. Some chapters feel cut off and don’t flow well into the rest of the story, and some of the dialogue gets a bit clichéd. As in previous books in the series, there are some uncomfortable areas of body shaming that are never resolved, and some relationships between characters seem to form instantly without build up. However, the friendship between Jenn and Becca grows wonderfully, and the intense plot will keep readers turning the pages happily.Though there are flaws, fans of this series will find the same exciting pacing and intrigue from previous novels in this latest installment. With the strong detail in their lives, the cast of characters is sure to start feeling like family to readers as this series progresses.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Less Intriguing than Earlier Entries in the Series By Alison S. Coad "The Edge of the Shadows," by Elizabeth George, is the third in her Whidbey Island series. There have been a series of suspicious fires on the island, and coincidentally there are a number of new people staying there, including siblings Aidan and Isis, who are staying with their grandmother, and Parker, a musician looking to play at a local festival. As Becca and her friends discover, all of these people have secrets, and some of those secrets might be deadly, possibly even more deadly than the secret Becca herself is keeping…. I had thought that this was the final book in this series, but evidently there will be one more novel coming out later in 2016; and, indeed, there are a lot of dangling threads at the end of this story. I’m still enjoying it, although there seems to be a growing repetition in how the characters interact. Part of this is, of course, because the main characters are teenagers and as such are obsessed with sex and romance and finding partners, but I’m beginning to find that focus a little tedious. Still, I’ll read the final novel when it comes out, if only for the sake of completeness. So, a milder recommendation from me for this one.
