Synopsis
Nearly two decades ago a charismatic man called Colin controlled an isolated community hidden in foothills north of San Francisco in what was supposed to be a life free of materialism. Instead, Colin turned The Refuge into a mass grave as he completed a sinister plan to exterminate his followers—all except three children, who slipped through his fingers and escaped with his secrets.
Today, Nick Board and the two beautiful sisters, Sarah and Aurelie, who escaped with him, are living quietly under the radar in the little bayou town of Point Judah, Louisiana. But when the bodies at The Refuge are uncovered, the nightmare of the past forces the friends out into the open. To survive, they must stay one step ahead of the man who has been waiting for them to surface. Driven by greed and anger, he intends them to take his secrets to their graves.

Reviews
Stella Cameron hits you between the eyes from the prologue of TARGET. It is a gripping, intense novel about three people trying to sort out the past and preserve their lives for the future. The book is mostly set in Louisiana and offers the steamy, oppressive atmosphere where the story unfolds. My only real quarrel with the book and why I did not rate it a 5 is because of the love triangle between Nick and his sisters. There is something almost incestuous about it. Why couldn't they have fought their foe and worked to solve the crime as a family instead of lovers? It really brought down the book for me and I almost lost focus but at least Cameron was able to get back on track again so on the whole it was a good suspense novel.
