Wasn't a bad read. This was my first book by this author. I like to read ones by authors I've never read before. We all have our favorite authors, and unfortunately, often compare them to our favorites. With the holidays and other things, it took me longer than normal to finish this book. The book focused on an outsider that came into a prominent family that had money. He managed to fool everyone but the one sister. He made it sound like she was crazy by the things she said and had done when she began to accuse him of many things, a hit and run boating accident that left someone dead and a little scarred for life, controlling her sister and her father to the point where they cut her out of everything. She met a handsome owner of a Cuban newspaper that she had met when she was trying to find her sister when she had disappeared for a couple of days. As the story goes on, she is determined to find out who this guy really is by digging into his past and along the way, she gets herself into trouble, put in her trunk by a couple of guys, shot at, tased. That, and a bunch more. When she finally closes in on who this guy really is, he has his cousin set up the office of his father in laws with an explosion that will go off once the door is opened, to eliminate him and his sister in law, the one causing all the problems for him. What he didn't count on was, his wife, the one he manipulated into marrying him sooner then they planned, who he tried to talk her into having her father give them the condo she lived in for a wedding present, would end up back at the house after they had an argument while on their honeymoon. It was her that opened the door, but his cousin was still there and seen it was her and pushed her out of the way while he himself sustained the most injuries and died from them. She had burns over most of her face. Even at the hospital, her new husband confesses his undying love for her and will never leave her. He manages to talk his father in law into changing the will, eliminating his other daughter because of her actions, blaming her for the explosion because of her digging around in the boating accident to find out who really caused it. In the end, the truth comes out, and while at the condo, he tries to kill his sister in law by a drug overdose. When the door opens and he shoots the person, he realized it was his father in law, who he wanted dead anyways. But, it was he himself that ended up killing himself once he realized everyone knew the truth and he had no more ways to escape.
The sisters, and the father realize that it was him that caused everything between them and they moved on from that, planning the older sisters wedding.
Now, like I said, this wasn't a bad read. But, it did become a little predictable as each chapter came and went. How people couldn't see what he was doing, manipulating the fiance and his future father in law and alienating the sister that saw him for what he really was, is really beyond me. It was almost like reading a soap opera. Myself, if one of my kids suddenly started acting strange, saying things they normally wouldn't have said, I would not have dismissed it. Especially if they had never acted like that before. But, I guess for story purpose, it added a little flair.

First and foremost, the thing that jumped out at me and made me go, "oh yea this is going to be a good book!" was the fact that the main character Winslow had alot of insecurities and scars which made her more relatable. Sadly, there wasn't much mystery to the novel since you basically figure out who the bad person is by the third chapter. But still, with that being said, I enjoyed the book anyways.

Not what I was expecting

I felt that Winslow was a horrible character. I get that she was looking for justice but she came across as a bully and unlikable.
