4.5⭐️

A murder from 40 years ago, a family that has a legacy, and a hotel, Rosalie, that has withstood years of hurricanes. Sounds interesting, right? Well, I had a little trouble getting into it. I think because I couldn't figure out, in some parts, who was actually telling the story. But, once I got that figured out, I got into the book, and by the 60% mark, I was flying through it.

Ellen, Fredia, and Gloria grow up together. By the time their nineteen, things they aren't mature enough to handle happen. Gloria, known as Lo, meets Landon Fitzroy, a married man. Soon she's accused of murdering him, but gets off. A journalist contacts her to write a book about what really happened. He suggest the go back to the town and stay at the Rosalie Inn. What will the book reveal? Is there more to the murder?

Hawkins had my heart pounding by the end of the book. Talk about twists! She had them and had my jaw dropping. The turns the book took were edge of your seat turns. I rated it 4.5 because I had trouble at the first, but had it not been for that, it would have been a 5. If you enjoy psychological suspense/thrillers, do yourself a favor and pre-order or get the book when it comes out!

Tentative Publication Date:
