Tessa Young, an up-and-coming landscape architect who specializes in the design and creation of labyrinths, has immersed herself in the mythological, spiritual, and healing aspects of the elaborate structures. She also is searching for God and hoping to make sense of the nightmares that have plagued her since childhood. When Smith Chandler, an estranged colleague--with whom she'd half fallen in love a dozen times before catching herself every time--calls to propose a project he claims is the opportunity of a lifetime, she reluctantly agrees to check it out. Smith is reconstructing a pre-Revolutionary War abbey for wealthy clients. Among its remarkable features is an overgrown labyrinth. Unable to resist, Tessa accepts his offer to work with him. Soon she is immersed in the project of a lifetime. But one evening, after weeks of work in the labyrinth, Tessa and Smith are attacked. While protecting Tessa, Smith is stabbed, and the nightmare begins...again.

I really did enjoy the book. It kept you on the edge of your seat.

This was the first book I read by this author and I'm debating if I want to try another one. I thought this was a good book but not great. It dragged at times and I need to really like the main character, but I found Tessa somewhat annoying at times.

What can I say about this book that the other readers haven't? I loved the research done on the labyrinths. I have never known about labyrinths as being part of a spiritual journey to meet God in the middle. By that way Tessa Young thought to seek and find the God that seemingly has eluded her. When Smith Chandler, the man whom she has vowed to forget calls her up with an offer of a lifetime. A exquisite labyrinth in Maryland. The memories locked away in the edge of recall haunts her. She also finds herself falling once again for the handsome architect who has betrayed her once before. One night while working in the labyrinth, Smith and Tessa are attacked and Tessa's nightmare begins again. What an incredibly awesome story. The research done was amazing. I learned so much by reading this book. Kristen has always been a favourite author. I do hope that she will be writing for many more years. I look forward to her next story.
