Summary:
Genevieve Vandermere-Anderson lives in an elite world carefully crafted by her stepfather. While other girls her age revel in the freedom of their first summer break from college, Genevieve has no choice but to return to her childhood home in Hilton Head, South Carolina to play sidekick to her vindictive stepfather. Forbidden from social media and isolated from her peers, she returns home disheartened and oppressed by the actions of her past, governed by secrets. Though she is fearful of the repercussions, Genevieve decides it is time to start making her own choices. She sneaks out of her fortified house to attend the annual beach bonfire. There she meets a handsome stranger and follows him to an abandoned boathouse hidden in low country marshes. Little does she know that this small act of rebellion will be the catalyst for unraveling the truth about her regretful past, and the layers of deception her stepfather has masterminded. When she begins to investigate the boating accident that tragically killed her mother and two other people, she discovers that her stepfather's suspicious behavior and control tactics are all part of a greater agenda.
Review:
This book was like a roller coaster ride. There was so much going on, so much mystery and piecing together events of the past, so much back and forth of character emotions and wondering what was going on, who to trust. My head spun as I tried to read fast so I could find out how everything would turn out. There were so many characters and so much going on in so many different lives. You would think this would make the book feel like too much, but it wasn’t. We basically already know the big mystery from the get-go. Or do we? The book is about piecing everything together and gathering evidence. This is very different from other mystery books. I’m happy that it seems this is just the start. That we will get more stories from the characters in this book.
5-Stars!!!
