The Chateau

Murder, betrayal, adultery, this book has so much going on it's like literary alphabet soup and it's fantastic. Moments of nostalgia love, friendship, and even terror filled the pages and my mind.

Darcy, Vix, Arabella, and Jade go to France at the request of Seraphine, Darcy's grandmother for a trip of a lifetime, each of them had a reason to want to get away, and each of them had secrets they'd do anything to keep safe.

Through a story that takes us from secret rooms, childhood trauma, diamonds, and a long-lost Van Gough we learn that these women's lives and their families are more connected than any of them could have imagined and it will have dire consequences.

I found myself reading this and thinking about friendship, what it means, what I would do, and how far I would go to protect mine.

The visual storytelling in this book is phenomenal, I could picture every scene as it was described, and in the end, the Chateau almost became its character, it had seen so much and kept so many secrets.

I have to say our twist at the end surprised me, I honestly didn't see it coming, and part of me wants more, will Oliver do Arabelles bidding? What will happen to Sylvie? Will Darcy pursue something with .... well I won't be giving that away but if it were up to me she would. So many questions have me hoping there will be another book to answer them.

I have to say Arabelle shocked me, what happened to Sylvie, it, well it takes a special breed of person to do that.
