Brilliant, another great read from Lisa Renee Jones. This is the first of 2 books, In this book we learn Amy is the only member of her family to survive a fire and is in witness protection. Then her handler contacts her to say shes been rumbled and must leave everything she knows behind and start a new life but shes starts to have doubts on who she can trust.
I enjoyed this book from the very first page and couldn't put it down. Just who can Amy trust? I've still no idea and now I've got to wait 2 months to find out! Roll on book 2

Back in Time
Girl: "OMG, hey!! I haven't seen you for so long"
Me: "Hi, I know its been a while"
Girl: "You look so different! You weren't like this before, you've changed..."
This is a conversation I have so many times with old school friends, family members who haven't seen me for a while or general passers-by that like to give me their opinions. I always find that statement odd "you've changed". Like I should remain the same two-dimensional person my entire life. When people tell me I've changed, I usually reply with "I hope so!"

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Will the Real Carolyn Keene Please Stand Up in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I have loved Nancy Drew Mysteries since I was 8. I've had to have read over 200 of the various series.
This book is a wonderful tribute to the character of Nancy and Carolyn, the pen name for the books.
The book spans almost a hundred years and goes into the life of Edward Stratemeyer and have s family and the ghostwriter Mildred.
I'm sure there will be some folks disappointed that this isn't Nancypalooza straight out the gate but it certainly is a cracking good piece of historical fiction.
