The East End by Jason Allen is set in the Hamptons on Memorial Day Weekend and tells the story of working class Corey who breaks into the mansions for fun, but doesn’t steal anything; Gina, his mother who is a housekeeper at the Sheffield estate; and Leo Sheffield, the rich CEO whose home this story takes place at. Corey witnessed a gruesome death while “breaking in” at the Sheffield estate and the story unfolds from there.

I really wanted to love this story, but just couldn’t get into it. None of the characters are very likable and the story was so slow. There’s no real mystery which makes reading a mystery kind of boring. This story had so much potential, but just didn’t live up to it.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
