I read this in 2016 and didn‘t love it. It was my first audiobook, I had just gotten back into reading, and I think listening to the multiple POV format was too much. After a reread of the audio, I am in love!! The multiple POV enhances the story so much because all the characters are so internal. We really need their opinions of each other and peripheral stories to see everything as it is. 💛💛💛💛/5!

SUCH a fun read! Southern gothic mystery set mostly in the NC mountains with an impossibly rich, conniving, lying, backstabbing family all trying to end up with the huge McTavish fortune. I loved every second of it. Such a delicious read and the audiobook is great too.

I chose this after my sweet aunt read it with her book club. She‘d texted me a picture that said “I loved this book!” Now I‘ll text her a similar message and we‘ll discuss. So fun.

Last week I watched the adaption of this book on Netflix with a visiting sister. It was a fun romance and when I saw it was inspired by a book I immediately checked Libby and it was available after a short hold. I spent yesterday with the book and liked both - even the differences. Where the movie is a romance the book is more contemporary fiction (pub 2013). Had all aspects of the book been adapted it would require a limited series.

I probably wouldn't have finished this if I didn't have to lead the discussion for this at work this month. The twists and mystery were fine but it was very hard to connect with the characters. So many bad people behaving badly.

1-20-25: My 6th finished book of 2025! Fantastic story! Told from the point of view of Camden and Jules, a married couple, and letters from Camden‘s adoptive mother, Ruby, this story is a wild ride of confessions and plot twists. Cam and Jules must go back to Ashby House, where Cam grew up, to finally receive his inheritance. But he doesn‘t want it or anything to do with his adoptive family.Many secrets are hidden in Ashby House.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣6️⃣

Cam returns home after 10 years to his inherited beautiful estate in the mountains after some convincing from his wife. Once they arrive the truth of the woman who adopted and raised him comes to light from some papers in his mother‘s desk. I don‘t know if I just wasn‘t in the mood but this book just did not capture me and I found a few plot holes wondering why certain information was even brought up. Just ok to me.

I may not have read this if I didn‘t need a Southern Gothic book for my library‘s book challenge. I would have missed out on a great book. Lots of secrets & lies. #12booksof2024 August @Andrew65

Andrew65 I like it when this happens, and a book surprises you. 4mo

Despite the title, I probably won‘t remember much of this one. I liked that the sisters were in their 30‘s/40‘s and I can see how others would like it, but it just dragged for me. 🎧
