Excellent story-kept me totally interested from the first page. Wonderful author! Has everything you would want all rolled into one great story. Love, hate, suspense, surprises, violence and sorrow. All in all a compelling read. A definite plus from Goodreads.
I absolutely loved this book. I read it within 24 hours, it grabbed me from the start and didn't let go until the last page. The woman in this book have so much heartbreak in their lives that they believe is a curse. This is such a heartbreakingly beautiful read about the Bailey curse. I can't wait to read more from this author!
Ms. Zenora Knight has outdone herself in this rollercoaster ride of a novel. Her writing excites readers with all of the unexpected twists and turns. Life is no joke for the Bailey women but is it really "the curse"? Enjoy reading this book that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
This was an AMAZING READ!! I honestly don’t read too many books for pleasure but couldn’t put this one down. I became invested in each character and really felt like I knew them. I was entertained from start to finish. I would give 10 stars if I could.
