Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor | Ally Carter
23 posts | 10 read | 7 to read
New York Times best-selling author Ally Carters middle grade debut is full of mystery, mayhem, and friendship, and it will keep you guessing until the very end. April had absolutely no intention of becoming the only person who knows that Gabriel Winterborne, the missing-and-presumed-dead billionaire, is actually living in the basement of Winterborne House, sharpening his swords and looking for vengeance. Now its up to April to keep him alive. But theres only so much a twelve-year-old girl can do, so April must turn to the other orphans for help. Together, theyll have to unravel the riddle of a missing heir and a creepy legend, and find a secret key, before the only home theyve ever known is lost to them forever.

This was a fantastic adventure with great characters and a fast-paced storyline. The audiobook was fantastic. Only a few of the mysteries were solved as it is the first in a new series.

It felt like a mistake. Like a dream. Like they could just call time-out and do it all again. But there are no do-overs in real life.

Things are supposed to look better in the morning – that‘s what people always said. But, in April‘s experience, people lied. A lot.

April was proof that sometimes heroes end up half drowned and bleeding to death, needing heroines to do the heavy lifting.

April had never let being at a disadvantage stop her, and she wasn‘t about to start now.

she‘d never seen him look like that – like he‘d just skipped to the last chapter and found out he wasn‘t ever going to get a happy ending.

April thought about the paintings of the little boy holding his father‘s hand as if he had no idea that sometimes people let go.

April suddenly felt like turning around and running just as fast and as far as she could.

That‘s the thing about fear, April had learned a long time ago. Sometimes the scariest thing of all is standing still.

things are more likely to get worse than they are to get better and you‘re always better off playing the odds.

She was always doing that – letting her inside thoughts become her outside words.

Lovely easy and fun read for a long day in lock down. I don‘t know when book 2 is out but it better be soon because I have questions.

Foster kids get taken in by an institute based in a mansion with a sad history. However they were not chosen at random, and this mansion has secrets.
