Lucy is getting up the courage to leave island life behind for university, when suddenly her benefactor is found decapitated on the beach and she is the heiress of his vast fortune. Orphaned at a young age, she decides to pursue answers about her lost family and finds that it may be tied to her benefactor's death, meanwhile she begins to emerge as a leading suspect in the murder.
An engaging historical read that delves into fantasy, with mystery and gothic vibes. Lucy Nowhere is a heroine who has responsibility thrust upon her, she finds herself walking a tight rope trying to stay one step ahead of the killer, while finding the answers that could unlock her origins. A swirling suspense, in which one is never sure of whom to trust. While Lucy also finds her heart pulled by two very different men. I admired Lucy for her quick thinking and courage in the face of danger. She is gutsy and willing to be a leader in high stakes situations.
There is plenty going on, and the plot was well paced and riveting. I liked how it kept me guessing with the will they or won't they, and who can she trust? A gothic historical romance, with a love triangle and a high stakes murder plot. There are some instances of strong language, but for the most part it is appropriate for mid to older teens with PG-13 content. Another wonderful read from one of my favorite authors!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
