This book has it all!! A story line that kept me on the edge of my seat. Characters that come to life right in front of you and the perfect combination of mystery and suspense. This is an all around fantastic read and you won't want to put it down!

{I received an eARC via NetGalley from MacMillian Children's Publishing Group. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are unbiased and my own.}

Just as Carrie and Greg might be ready to start a relationship, danger comes to their resort town. First the dishwasher in Carrie's restaurant is murdered, then her waitress starts acting strangely. What's going on? This is more romantic suspense than a true mystery, but I found the story compelling and the climax very suspenseful.

This is really well done with a great amount of suspense and mystery. The cast is great, but the actor playing Assane steals the show. His presence and delivery in each scene is fantastic. It's only two seasons, but it's great. I just wish it had wrapped things up a little better because it's kind of on a cliffhanger. Maybe we'll get another season, but who knows? Either way, it's a show I'm glad I checked out.

Slow built up suspense with a great ending
Don’t be overwhelmed by the substantial amount of characters in this book. Some are just stand by, you’ll want to focus on: Francie, Colette, Nell, and Winnie. (Maybe Token on the side but he’s more a supportive role) it may seem haphazard and all over the place which is why it’s best to just focus on these four moms.

The chapters switch from different points of view and there’s that one lone chapter that’s presented in first person. It’s a mystery as to who that is until much later, but it certainly does keep you guessing on who that person could be. It may seem obvious at first and during the reading you feel so sure you know who that is and what’s behind the entire story but the blind side moment comes fast in the last few chapters and you’re left with a shock.

The plot slowly builds to a good mystery and suspense. The thrilling bits get you at the end. It’s a satisfying read, the characters grate on you (Francie and Nell are the ones I disliked the most), but it’s the suspense and the ‘keeping you guessing’ bits that get the reading going.

So although it may seem like it’s all over the place, give the book a chance and read. It’s well worth it with the superb ending.
