Gripping, hard to put down and dramatic! The Astrology House instantly drew me in and had me hooked from the very beginning! I had a good time reading this book and found it to be very entertaining. There is so much going on with the characters, I liken this book to a nighttime soap opera ala Desperate Housewives in that it’s dramatic, entertaining, full of secrets, and dysfunction. The Astrology House was enjoyable from cover to cover with no down time.
Margot is looking for answers and a time to get away with her husband, Ted and her brother, Adam, his wife Aimee, and their close friends. She could really use the time away from her busy job and attempts to start a family. The Stars Harbor Astrological Retreat seems like a perfect getaway for relaxing, bonding, getting insight, and fun.
I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this book. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the many twists, turns and revelations in this book. There are quite a few characters, but it was easy to keep track of everyone and their individual quirks, issues, and personalities. They are a group with secrets, and it was fun watching everything play out. Rini is the astronomer who is hosting them and has a secret or two herself. Instead of getting their charts read, they could all have a contest to see who has the biggest secret amongst them! This group might look picture perfect, but they are far from it!
I enjoyed the tension which slowly built in this book. I enjoyed the interesting dynamics between the characters. Plus, this book has that trapped feeling that I enjoy in books. They are at home but there is a storm coming in and they are all stuck together as the drama unfolds. I have to say that there was one reveal which I did not see coming and boy was that a shocker!!! Well done, Jaede, well done!
Astrology is discussed but if that is not your thing, don’t worry, it’s not overbearing or a HUGE part of the book.
Gripping, well written, well thought out, hard to put down, shocking, and dramatic!
