Oh, what a tangled web we weave! This was such a clever, well thought out and executed book! There are secrets and then there are the McTavish secrets!!! The beginning of the book drew me in, and the second half of the book blew me away.
The McTavish family is one of the richest families in North Carolina. They live in Ashby House, their beautiful estate, with sprawling grounds and woods with hiking trails.
When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore, the richest woman in North Carolina, died she left everything to her adopted son, Camden (Cam). Cam, the sole heir, doesn’t want the money. He wants to be free of the dysfunctional McTavish family and live happily with his wife, Jules.
But when he is summoned to return, Cam goes back to Ashby house, and the rest as they say is history……
This was such a well thought out book. The first half of the book had me wanting more. I was intrigued by Ruby’s letters and what they revealed. Rachel Hawkins had my attention from the very beginning and the book kept getting more interesting, more addictive, and more shocking as more was revealed. There is drama, secrets, and twists galore! Just when I thought this book could not get any better, it did! I enjoyed both Cam and Jules POV’s in addition to reading about Ruby through her journal entries.
Gripping, shocking, well written and dramatic. I can’t wait to read what Rachel Hawkins writes next!
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
