A very good mystery by Lorelei Brogan! Cecily Thomas lives with her very wealthy and powerful family. She has a twin brother, Conrad.

When the compound is attacked and Cecily's mother kidnapped, their whole world changes. There are so many twists in this book, don't think you know what is going on or you may be wrong. Very well written and a page turner!

Mystery and intrigue go hand in hand with adventuresome action and two budding relationships! Can they survive all the twists and turns thrown their way? Extended Epilogue is a must read, full of both action and love!
Who are the bad guys? There are some unexpected surprises, action, and danger in this really cool historical. The story is a bit different and I really liked that plus it is well written with some awesome characters. Georgie, Ethan, Conrad, and Cecily were the cat’s meow!
Ms Brogan has captured the truest sense of growing into an Adult and learning the difference between true life and values vs flattering words and ways. The closing has a surprisingly satisfactory ending too.
This was an amazing story of how a brother and sister with their friends go on a journey to find their mother who had been kidnapped by a gang of me who worked for a former friend of their fathers. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill
