Carpe librum- seize the book! What a great thought.
Welcome book lovers
saturday scoop features a "scoop" on books- whether it's my review or other book related news you may have missed.
Today I am featuring a book that I actually was lucky enough to have won an ARC of (many months ago- I know- shame on me for not bringing to your attention sooner! LOL).
In a nutshell, if you loved those books by VC Andrews (you know, the ones she wrote before she passed and someone else took over -yeah they just aren't the same but then again I haven't tried in years) then I know you'll dig this title. It's a perfect little Gothic, dreary atmospheric book- even if I was a pinch let down at the (almost predictable) end.
Seraphine Mayes and her twin brother, Danny, were born in the middle of summer at their family's estate on the Norfolk coast. Within hours of their birth, their mother threw herself from the cliffs, the au pair fled, and the village thrilled with whispers of dark cloaks, changelings, and the aloof couple who drew a young nanny into their inner circle.
Now an adult, Seraphine mourns the recent death of her father. While going through his belongings, she uncovers a family photograph that raises dangerous questions. It was taken on the day the twins were born, and in the photo, their mother, surrounded by her husband and her young son, is smiling serenely and holding just one baby.
Who is the child, and what really happened that day?
