This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.I thought that this book was fantastic! I actually have looked at this book several times since its release and didn't pick it up sooner because I wasn't sure that I would like it. I had nothing to worry about. This story is disturbing a...
Nothing to do with Roanoke, the lost colony in North Carolina like I thought (Roanoke is simply the family's last name) but it's a decent contemporary mystery. There are things that bothered me but not the things you'd think. It wasn't the drama that some people found too disturbing. I can and have ...
I received a copy from Netgalley. I snagged a copy of this one when it was a read it now for the first 100 members. It promised some of my favourite tropes in novels – rich family, idyllic setting, dark twisty secrets. This book has one of those annoying boats in the title tag line saying the mos...

I'm so goddamn tired of the same-old, predictable shit. For that reason, among the many more you are about to read below, this review is going to be rage-y as fuck.

If I’d written a review immediately after finishing this book, it would have been very different. This is a story that puts you through an emotional wringer, making you feel everything from revulsion to hope. So I took a few days to let it all percolate & see what remained. The story follows 2 thr...
Yes, yes, yes! I relished inside this novel. I knew the secret, I knew it but I wanted so desperately for them to tell me the secret, to whisper the words to me, so it would verify the truth that I harbored inside. I dreaded hearing it but I hoped hearing the words would change things. It was the se...
Oh the deep dark secret held at Roanoke. The homestead of the richest family in a rural town in Kansas. A family that has lived there for generations. A tradition of beautiful girls with long blonde hair who through the generations all looked like sisters. Girls whose lives have all ended tragically...
This book was so good! I mean, it was kind of obvious and there wasn't really much mystery, but the story was somehow... compelling. The writing style made it so easy to get swept along this family drama, which could have easily been tacky and crude, but somehow it just worked. It wasn't groundbreak...
