In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Nora Roberts takes readers deep into the rugged Black Hills of South Dakota, where the shadows keep secrets, hunters stalk the land, and a childhood friendship matures into an adult passion. Cooper Sullivan spent the summers of his youth on his grandparents' South Dakota ranch, sharing innocent games and stolen kisses with the neighbor girl, Lil Chance. Now, twelve years after they last walked together hand in hand, fate has brought them back to the Black Hills. Coop has left his fast-paced life as an investigator in New York to take care of his aging grandparents and the ranch he has come to call home. Though the memory of his touch still haunts her, Lil has let nothing stop her dream of opening the Chance Wildlife Refuge, but something...or someone...has been keeping a close watch. When small pranks and acts of destruction escalate into a heartless attack on Lil's beloved cougar, memories of an unsolved murder in these very hills have Coop springing to action to keep Lil safe. Lil and Coop know the natural dangers that lurk in the wild landscape of the Black Hills. But a killer of twisted and unnatural instincts has singled them out as prey...

Because this book took place in SD where I live, I had to read it and it was wonderful and exciting and at times brought tears to your eyes. The suspense is great and so is the outcome.

Big Cats and Horse Farms
I found "Black Hills" to be an excellent read...I base this on one true thing in a book..."Does it grab you from the first page?" If you feel like I do then you will love this beautiful book set in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This book starts with two impressionable pre-teens and takes place on and off over the next 20 years...Dr. Chance realizes her dreams and Cooper Sullivan comes to terms with his fate..This being said...they make a great couple, but they take some time getting to this point..The book is set around a serial killer and all the trappings that go with his life and his involvement with Dr. Chance. The book starts on farms with the feeling of the horse world alive and active with the main characters. It then proceeds into Indian beliefs...what is real and what is not, and slips into the Chance Wildlife Rescue Center that has been Lil's dream since she was a young girl. This book is wrapped in lore, and also in the Big Cat data that will hold anyone's attention. Of course there is romance and girl talk, but this novel has it all and it is beautifully brought together by the last page. Do I recommend this book...yes!! It was a great read...one that I may enjoy again.
