Book Review: Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger

Image
Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger opens with Hannah and her family celebrating Christmas with dinner. All the gifts have been opened, with the exception of some that are from Santa. However, no one is owning up to being Santa. Fast forward six months, Hannah, her husband, brother, sister-in-law, and her best friend with a boyfriend in tow are getting together for a long weekend where secrets are spilled. Wow! I have no words to describe how much I absolutely loved this Lisa Unger story. It kept my interest from the start of the book, and I would love to see it turned into a movie. Told from several characters perspectives and alternating timelines, it kept me guessing for the most part. Lisa Unger did a fantastic job of keeping it easy for the reader to follow without any issues. However, I did figure out the connection between Trina and Cat to the rest of the story relatively early on. With that being said, I didn't quite figure out the connection between Henry and the rest

Book Review: Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

Darling Girls 
by Sally Hepworth is a story of love and secrets and what family will do to protect each other.  Jessica, Norah, and Alicia have been told over and over how lucky they are to be placed in such a loving foster home.  People on the outside don't realize that Miss Fairchild, their foster mother, is an absolute nightmare.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth.  Hepworth is one of my favorite authors, so I was ecstatic to be approved to read this book.  I received it for free in exchange for my honest review.

Hepworth's latest story is an interesting read told from different characters and alternates between the past and present.  I enjoyed the "past" chapters better than the "present" chapters because it lets the readers get a glimpse of who the main characters were as children and how they became the people they were today.  The different perspectives and timelines was done extremely well, so you don't have to worry about getting confused.

There were times that Darling Girls reminded me of a V.C. Andrews novel, which was a plus in my humble opinion.  It was a bit slow at times, but it was still an engaging read.  There was a twist with the character Amy, but there was an even bigger twist with another character.  

All in all, Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth is a fantastic read, especially for readers who enjoy suspense and mystery. Four out of five stars.
