Present day: Annie Adams is just settling into Castle Knoll when a fortune teller gives her a strange warning and is found dead hours later. With the blame landing on Annie she’s forced to unravel the town’s secrets before her fresh start goes up in flames.

1967: Frances Adams is caught between two men and the mystery of a deadly car crash. as she digs deeper she uncovers a web of lies tied to her friend’s disappearance and to the dark heart of Castle Knoll itself.

I always worry about sequels and if they will live up to the first book but I felt like this one built upon the first one really well.

I ENJOYED:

-this book really expanded upon the first book

-learning more about Archie and his secrets

-less Saxon!!!! Yay!!!!

I DIDN’T ENJOY

The pacing of the story. It was just a liiiiiiiiittle slower than i would personally like but that is very much a personal opinion! It didn’t stop me from liking it overall and wanting another book.

I thought this book was super enjoyable and kept me interested from start to finish. I also think this book left a lot of room for book 3 and 4 to provide more background on Castle Knolls/the Gravesdowns/Frances. I desperately want to learn more about them.

Overall I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next in this series!
