I like how this book started
right back in to the mystery of who killed Dan. Scarlett and Taylor are
already into trouble by chapter three.
Half
way through the book it picked up and the pages flew by. Scarlett ends
up going and staying with Dan's family after she writes them a letter
saying she has something of Dan's to return and wants to talk with them. When she gets there everyone is nice to her except Callum-Dan's twin brother that Scarlett didn't know about- and Lucy, Callum's girlfriend. Callum doesn't like her because he thinks she had something to do with Dan's death. And Lucy doesn't like her because she is jealous of her and Callum. Lucy wants to run the castle with Callum
and they need to get married so that is why Lucy doesn't like Scarlett
and shoots at her one day in the woods. Scarlett doesn't know it was
Lucy until the end of the book.
I had figured out who the killer was around page 230. But it was still a shock at the end and how it played out.
I wish that Scarlett and Callum's relationship would have went farther. After Scarlett left to go to stay with Dan's family, Jase wasn't' really mentioned and I was really rooting for Scarlett and Callum.
I understand the whole them not being together because of all that they
had been through with Dan and the killer, but to me it would have been
perfect because they could have helped each other through everything.
I hope there is another book after this one. I am thinking not since the killer was already identified. But the way the book ended it was left open at the end, either in the way for you to make up your own ending on where Jase and Scarlett's relationship goes and how Plum and Scarlett get along now that Plum is going to Scarlett's school now. Or if their will be more book and more mysteries for Scarlett and Taylor to solve. I am hoping more books since I want Scarlett to get with Callum. :)
