Waiting for the Night Song by Julie Carrick Dalton

Cadie's near-perfect ecology research life goes for a toss when she receives a call from her childhood best friend Danielle. As the ladies brace to encounter an assault on their peaceful lives,  as an incident revolving around the Summer Boy from their childhood comes back to haunt them, little do they know of what's in store for them. An engaging plot and memorable characters make this book a delight to read. I loved the dual-timeline narration, and the mix of different currently relevant points woven into the story. A brilliant debut from Dalton here. I look forward to reading more of her works. My thanks to Dalton, and publishers Macmillan-Tor, and Forge Books, for gifting me with a copy of this book.
