Summary: When Rose was twelve, her mother and stepfather went out for dinner and
never came back. Now seventeen, she lives with her grandmother and goes to
school in London. She’s always wondered about her stepbrother, Joshua, whom she
only lived with briefly and who was also relocated after their parents’
disappearance. When Rose and Joshua meet again, they find they have much in
common, including a desire to uncover the mystery surrounding their parents’
disappearance . . . and a mutual attraction to each other. But when Rose
witnesses the murders of not one but two of her classmates, she must uncover
who is behind these violent crimes. And when she and Joshua discover that a
much larger conspiracy is underway, both of their lives will be in danger. From
international bestseller Anne Cassidy, this first in a fastpaced and romantic
new mystery series will keep readers guessing.
Review: I kept losing interest in this book, so it took me a good deal of time
to get through it. I’m sorry to say, the story left me wanting much more. There
were parts of the book that were really great, but too many others that just
didn’t work.
