I have previously read two of Sally Royer-Derr’s books and loved them. This one had me hooked from the beginning. There were lots of twists and turns and secrets with all the characters. It was fascinating to see how all of them interacted and intertwined with one another. The ending was very satisfying, and I would highly recommend this one!
