Christopher is a pretty arrogant guy at first and does not know how to properly court a lady. I've loved Harriett from the other books and glad to see her own story come about. The two made me laugh when they were together.

Sad but beautiful story about a mother who loses her daughter to the hands of a woman that just wanted to be a mother that she didn't really get a chance to be. I'm not sure what the Russian mob really had to do with this other than a trafficking ring that Maddy stumbles onto while trying to figure out what happened to her daughter.

I loved getting to know Lucy through this book, whom I first had met in Lies and Letters. I was happy to see a short appearance by Charlotte and James. Lucy and Nicholas were adorable! I loved that they had feelings for each other since childhood. It took a long time for this feelings to come to light to them both, but I loved the journey. Thrown in is an intriguing mystery with Nicholas and his family. I understand why Nicholas felt he had to resort to the things he did. I love how it got resolved. I was very upset with the people of Rosewood and how they acted. I'm glad Kitty came around in the end.

This was not my favorite out of the books so far. It was a lot of Juliette, now the Supreme Commander, with no idea what she is doing. It was a lot with Warner and Juliette and their relationship and not a lot of the other characters of previous books. I felt it was too long for what it was....
We did get more background on Juliette though which I liked....I just don't know where this story will lead.

It wasn't too bad of a book but just one that took me FOREVER to finish! I liked trying to figure out the mystery of what happened. I felt the book was a lot longer than it should have been.

Although I enjoyed the first book, I adored this one! I love Lenora. I empathise with her and her struggles. I grew to care for Catherine right along with Lenora. Although it's hard to see the romantic male with the same name as one of your kids, I really enjoyed Aiden and his devotion to giving Catherine a life she deserved.

I have always loved The Scarlet Pimpernel as a story/play. I liked having it twisted on its head having a woman as the Pimpernel.

At once a couple of mysteries to be solved and a tiny bit of a ghost story. The ghost stuff was a very tiny part of it, but the ghost was kind of creepy. Showing you "visions" of things that have happened. I didn't even guess at the mystery....it came as quite a surprise.

What a creepy story! We don't find out what really happened that night with Calvin, Angela and Geo until near the end and I was shocked. It hurt to learn what happened and how much Geo had to actually do with Angela's murder. Something that happened at the end of the book (which I won't reveal because it's a spoiler, I didn't see coming at all and it made me feel sick for Geo. But it also made me sympathize with her for the being in jail for her part.

Thanks to St Martin's Press for this ARC! I have never read a book by her so I didn't know what to expect, but I loved it! Suspenseful and surprising. I didn't even get close to guessing the ending until I actually was almost at the end. I'll make sure to read her earlier two novels
