Amazon B&N BD Goodreads

Valentine has spent years trying to outrun her mother's legacy. But small towns have long memories, and when a new string of murders occurs, all signs point to the daughter of a murderer. 

Only one person believes Valentine is innocent—Rowan Blackshaw, the son of the man her mother killed all those years ago. Valentine vows to find the real killer, but when she finally uncovers the horrifying truth, she must choose to face her own dark secrets, even if it means losing Rowan in the end.

I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing blog tour for such an interesting book!

SPOILERS

The plot twists in this book shocked me, anything to do with the murders. Black's writing in this book is extremely convincing along with Valentine, you start to believe the exact same things. 

Rowan and Sam are completely different love interests for Valentine, but you can't but love both of them. Sam has always been there for her and understands her and life. There's Rowan, who's she's just getting to know, and seems to have a lot in common with him. I was torn on who I wanted Valentine to be with, and I do feel like she didn't do Sam right. As much as I liked Rowan, I think Val and Sam should've been together in the end. 

Finding out Mrs. Henny was the culprit, shocked me and I felt betrayed, especially after her kindness towards Valentine. Mrs. Henny was the one person I didn't suspect, which shows how amazing Black's writing is.

My heart broke when Val found her father and Birdy in the shed, I kept thinking they'd just come back and it was all a ruse.

Overall, I enjoyed this historical thriller, it was definitively a fall book, and I think it's a perfect time to read it.
