The Deception of Harriet Fleet
By Helen Scarlett
⭐️⭐️
1871. An age of discovery and progress. But for the Wainwright family, residents of the gloomy Teesbank Hall in County Durham the secrets of the past continue to overshadow their lives.
Harriet would not have taken the job of governess in such a remote place unless she wanted to hide from something or someone. Her charge is Eleanor, the daughter of the house, a fiercely bright eighteen-year-old, tortured by demons and feared by relations and staff alike. But it soon becomes apparent that Harriet is not there to teach Eleanor, but rather to monitor her erratic and dangerous behaviour - to spy on her.
Worn down by Eleanor's unpredictable hostility, Harriet soon finds herself embroiled in Eleanor's obsession - the Wainwright's dark, tragic history. As family secrets are unearthed, Harriet's own begin to haunt her and she becomes convinced that ghosts from the past are determined to reveal her shameful story.
This started of well but then fell flat for me. I was waiting for something to happen that grabbed me and shook me but it didn’t come. The ending wasn’t what I expected either.

Candidate ( The Black Mage book 3)
By Rachel E. Carter
Welcome to the Candidacy. Where dreams go to die.
Twenty-year-old Ryiah is a black mage of Combat, but she's not the Black Mage. Yet. She's had her eyes on the legendary robe for as long as she can remember, and in just one year, she will have a chance at her country's prestigious--and only--tourney for war mages... Too bad she is going up against a certain prince--the one person she has yet to beat.
The Candidacy finally arrives and a winner is robed, but something dark is lurking in her kingdom's midst. Rival nations are closing in, and it's time to make an alliance.
Unfortunately for Ryiah, that's only the beginning. The worst enemy resides in the palace.
Another really good instalment to this series. It goes a little deeper reveals some Secrets and we see some deaths and 2 weddings. But will the last one last after the latest unveiling of secrets? Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in book 4. Definitely recommend!

I love the development of the characters, more insight into the other Prince's of Hell, and Ari's continued perseverance to help all of those around her. The story line continues and the plot thickens. Secrets are revealed and truth's are brought to light.
I can't wait for Book 3!!!!!!!! If you haven't started this series I recommend starting at Book 1 as Book 2 picks up at Book 1's cliffhanger.
