Stephanie Wrobel blew me away with her debut novel, Darling Rose Gold. Unfortunately, this one didn’t do the same. This is a slow-moving novel with so many pieces that I felt like I was putting together a puzzle. That’s not something I enjoy when reading.

Format: eBook. Source: Publisher.

Welcome to Wisewood. We’ll keep your secrets if you keep ours.
