New alliances could be just the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for.
Chaka death was a grave loss but could lead to the reconciliation between Fred and Sally.
And poor Jim’s heartbreak…

Poor Chaka, the author knows how to strike a blow straight to the heart. And poor Jim, a love that can never be.
Will Sally finally be willing to open her heart to Freddy? And will Isabel be alright?

This 3rd book started out dull. But I’m glad I kept reading because it’s gotten better. A doctor and a justice obsessed rogue cop on the run looking for the evidence they need is pretty intriguing.

So far “Deadly Isle” by Dani Pettrey is my favorite out of the 3 books.

They caught him but is it only him. And where is Julia’s body?

Loosely inspired by Robin Hood. A bet. Who would survive the other’s lifestyle better. The truth of her identity.
Beautiful how he learned her and what pleased her.

I knew it! I’d guessed who the magician’s father was. And I suspect, I know part of why Bellmann wants him dead. A least part.
Sad what happened to Nellie though.

The magician still missing. A forced marriage. Jim love sick. What’s next?

Axel Bellmann
Nellie Budd
Lord Wytham
Windlesham

A man who knows people’s darkest secrets and uses it to control them. Sounds familiar. It’s a similar theme as in first book. Where did the magician disappear to? Bellmann definitely has other motives for wanting to marry Mary, probably to do with the graphite mines.

Freddy and Jim’s fight was very well written. It had me hold my breath for a minute. I love how it the story switch back and forth through viewpoint, sometimes leaving her hanging. It keeps it interesting. Sally’s finally discovered the truth of her nightmare and it wasn’t quite was I was expecting. Holland wasn’t why I was expecting.

Who is Jared Connor?

Tens and Callen seem like they have an interesting history together.
Who is this mystery person sneaking around?

The 2nd book in here, is already much more interesting by that the front one. It captures my attention in the first paragraph.

Bedwell finally explaining some things about the 7 Blessing and her father’s death. And how Holland must have learned the information she using to blackmail Shelby with.

Still very interesting. The mystery just keeps growing. What is Sally remembering? What does Bedwell know but can’t remember? What was it that Bedwell needed to tell Sally? How did Holland discover all she knows? What does Shelby have to do with Sally’s father’s death and why is Holland blackmailing him? Is Adelaide safe with them?

Not sure how I feel about the ending. The t was very open ended in two different ways which isn’t necessarily bad but just not for me. I would have rather the case be resolved and closed. And I would have liked a little more of Janelle and Greg’s growth after the case was resolved. Just seems like they needed one more chapter after the epilogue. An epilogue for the epilogue.

The main character knew more than she was letting on. So what will this new information reveal about the case?
