Excellent story line

This book has a great story to it. The MFC is the oldest sibling and is helping her sick mom take care of her younger brother and sister. That dynamic alone is relatable to so many. She has been friends with the MMC since childhood but they had grown apart despite each secretly liking the other. When his life gets complicated, they are reunited and finally realize their love. But will they ever get to be together with everything crashing around them? Find out!

Pretty predicatble

So it wasn't bad, but in the middle of the book it's a big giveaway of who the killer was that I just kinda loss interest on what happened after since it was no longer a surprise for me. Still that epilogue wants me to continue to the sequel. Not bad for a mystery/romance book without any spicyness.

Fantastic Mystery

This was a fantastic mystery! I enjoyed every minute of this story from beginning to end.

Emily did a great job weaving in the backstory for Zoe and Case, adding real depth to their characters. The tension between them is palpable—you can feel it in every interaction. It added an extra layer of intrigue beyond the central mystery.

One of my favorite aspects was how skillfully Emily handled the suspects. There were four or five strong possibilities, and just when I thought I had narrowed it down to three, the story cleverly shifted my suspicions—if only for a moment. I love it when a mystery keeps me second-guessing myself, and this one absolutely did.

Zoe’s determination to uncover the truth and get answers kept me fully invested. And that last page? The cliffhanger! I truly thought everything was wrapping up neatly and that I could take a break before starting book two… but I was very wrong. I will be picking up the next book very soon!
