If you love to read books about dysfunctional families, then you must read this! Two brothers, Davis and Johnny, and only one sister Ruth inherited the Magnolia Bed and Breakfast after the death of their parents. Things are running smoothly until Davis brings home a woman he had just met and declares their engagement, Well- written, but I've come to expect from Ms. King. Enjoy it, you won't be disappointed.
Although I found that this had a semi slow start it was very well written and once it caught your attention it sucked you right in.
Magnolia House is Jester Falls most popular bed and breakfast. It’s run by the rather eccentric Channing family. Since the town is an idyllic town where people flock to when they are looking to escape, the Magnolia House is doing well.
Ruth Channing absolutely adores what’s left of her family and she will do anything to protect them. However, when her brother brings home a mysterious lady he found on the side of Route 76. Ruth begins to realize that “anything” can take on a few different meanings.
Ashley Parker is the name of the woman her brother picked up. Nothing about her rings true. Her past, her profession, and even her very name seem suspicious. What she is most concerned about though is that she really doesn’t want to leave. Soon, guests start disappearing and it becomes clear that there is a whole lot more at risk than just the family business.
This book was really good once the slower bit, or the bit where you are being introduced to main characters I suppose, was through it really became involved and it left you wondering who was doing what and why.
I would recommend this book. It’s a good length and can be finished in a good amount of time.
"There are three things you should always keep a secret: your love life, your income, and your next move. Once you lose your mystery, you can’t get it back. As the saying goes, sincerity is glass, discretion is diamond."
This is my first book that I’ve read from the author. Passerby by Britney King which is a new release, met all those plot points I needed at the moment. Not only was it a well written psychological thriller but, it kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end. It was a book so unlike anything I’ve ever read before and not only that but the ending was insane. Legit insane. For a huge portion of the book it felt like the main character and I were slowly being driven insane by the actions of the secondary characters and it all blew up in the end.Take my word for it and grab yourself a copy, you won't be disappointed!
This book was incredible
The way it kept me surprised at all times. I loved this story. It was a great read.
This was short but packed with a punch! It’s just over 5 hours long and it’s a story about siblings. I guess you could say Ruth is the main character and she’s hard to like. She very prickly and doesn’t know how to hold back. She’s a hot mess and working at the families B&B.
Strange things are happening right at the beginning that keep you wondering what’s really going on. I liked the writing and Almond Eastland was the narrator, who by the way did a good job.
