What’s the price of loyalty when the truth could destroy you?

Jorja thought she understood the dangers of her family’s dark legacy, but the secrets buried in Grove Hills are deadlier than she ever imagined. Her grandfather’s empire is closing in, and her every move is shadowed by betrayal, power, and manipulation. A mysterious key and a risky alliance with Bentley may hold the answers she needs, but trusting the wrong person could cost her everything.

As Toby and Rush work desperately to protect her, tensions rise, friendships are tested, and Jorja is forced to make impossible choices. With lives on the line and time running out, can she uncover the truth before it destroys everyone she loves?

I loved the first one, and enjoyed the 2nd one, but book 3 felt rushed to me. I felt like there were missing pieces and stuff that was skipped over and thrown together wildly. I feel like the author should have slowed this one down a bit, thrown in about 100 more pages to explain things better and it would’ve felt less rushed.

I enjoyed this series overall, but I was definitely disappointed with this finale. It had good plot points that I just felt were not executed properly. It wasn’t horrible, but didn’t keep the same vibe of the 1st book.

I will still read this author again. 🩷

Like I said before, this series is so fun. Each book gets right to the point, and doesn’t drag on!
Obsessed. Definitely sad the series is over🥹

I LOVED this third book in the Grove Hill series! Just WOW! Nora keeps you reading and on the edge of your seat! Jorja is a strong, amazing FMC!!!! Can’t recommend it enough!

I said this about the last book also - but this one was good and maybe better than the second! Without saying much, I loved all the details related to the family drama and secrets, and the continued POVs of Jorja, Toby and some of Rush. Just when you think you know what happened, something else popped up. Many good twists and turns, and I like how the book series ended. I read each one in two days. I’d recommend the series for anyone looking for a YA series full of mystery, family secrets, a friend group and a love triangle thrown in the mix.

"Some promises were meant to be kept. Others were meant to break you."

If This Little Town broke your heart and This Little Secret left you reeling, This Little Promise will bury you in the wreckage—in the most beautiful, agonizing way.

By the third book, you’d think you know these characters, but who can you truly trust. We find out who is trying to help and escape this horrible life style, for example Jorja’s Grandma. The group (Jorja, Peter, Toby, Rush, Olivia, and the other guy who is new and I forgot the name of) come up with plan on how to not only take the family down but stay alive. Many are at risk and so much blood is shed but in the end it’s all worth it. The ending was so cute where they graduated and everyone was happy. I also love that Jorja ended up with Toby BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER AND THAT DATE HE MADE. OMG.

The first and second books left you on a cliffhanger. This one left you with a happy ending!

[NicholeK20 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun YA mystery! A great conclusion to the first two books. With just as enough unexpected twists and turns to keep you guessing.
