I really enjoyed this second book of the Mayfield family. Timothy was at times adorable but tended to stick his foot in his mouth quite often. Maryanne was brave in her attempt to try and find a match for Timothy, who she loved. They were both stubborn in regards to each other but they both needed time to grow.

I am so glad I got to read an early copy!
I have never read a Riley Sager book so I knew nothing of what a book of his might entail.
This was nuts! The Bartholomew is NOT a place I'd ever want to live. Right up front, there are too many rules that lead to too many secrets needing to be uncovered. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and it didn't even cross my mind the twisted way it went! So creepy, such good writing and a very suspenseful plot!

Great mystery centered around a royal and long held secrets. Jo is a journalist that gets thrown into this mystery and really starts digging deep into it.
I quite enjoyed it though it was a little tad long.

I adored the couple, Michael and Stella! They were wonderful together and they had many strengths to their personalities..... And many difficulties. Michael is an amazing son to his mother and sisters and has an unusual "job" to help them. Stella is a high functioning autistic woman who is very smart and capable and needs a little help with personal relationships.
I liked that Michael never pressured Stella and gave her the ability to say NO at any point during their time together.
This is definitely a NA romance book.

Read this book in a day!
Really fast pass paced writing. The story was just riveting and so sad. I can't believe some of the things people are capable of. I felt so bad for Nicolette once you figure out her entire story. What a horrible, very sad thing to go through! But the care she gives Wren and Sage and the way she was with them was amazing.

Frannie stands accused of murder. What could have lead to this gruesome act?
We follow her story from being a slave in Jamaica and being sent as a servant in England.
This was a riveting story that is a slow burn of unfolding events until all secrets of her life are exposed in a very fascinating trial.

This book was wild! I don't know what I can say that won't give away major plot points, but I am overthrown with emotions. I felt bad for Ella through the whole book and at the end- that was thrown out the window! I still loved this book though.... It was really, really good.

Sweet story of William, a "dead letter" investigator, trying to find the mysterious writer Winter that sends letters that start to speak to William's soul. His wife Clare and him are starting to slip though the cracks of their marriage.
I was cheering Willam on in his search but felt sorry for Clare being pushed to the sidelines while he did it. I thought the end wrapped up very nicely.

A perfect beach read!
I loved Beatrice. I loved that she didn't act like all the other rich women, she actually wanted to get to know the locals. I hated Harry from the beginning and I think I'm right to! He is such a pig! Thomas was amazing and a really good person for Beatrice.
Dolly was one of my favorite characters of this novel..... She was a force to be reckoned with. I loved that she makes her own way in the world despite having a rich husband.
It was a really good story, the pacing was fast and drew me as a reader into this world that I know nothing about.
