Review: Fractured Things - Book #2 Folkestone Sins - Samantha Lovelock - November 2020 This was one series that the first book ended on a huge cliffhanger that whacked a punch and left me going OMFG what the hell just went down. Book #2 picks up from that night when everyone went cray-cray and dark secrets, abuse and betrayal were all laid out on the table. Stella couldn't handle it all and took off with her new best friend Sunday to New York so that she could clear her head on what to do. A few months later, Poe and his dad Mr. Halliday and Payne head to New York to bring the girls on. Here once again in the small town of Folkestone, Stella will have to face a whole lot of demons from discovering her birth father to the truth of her mother Catherine and secrets that surround her as remember Stella hasn't seen her mum since she took off when Stella was 16 and she is now turning 18. Once again, Fractured Things ended on another major cliffhanger that had me going what the heck a...

Review: Fragile Things - Book #1 Folkestone Sins - Samantha Lovelock - August 2020 I have been looking forward to reading this book as the blurb enticed me in. It reminded me as I was reading the book a mix between Cassie James "Patience Series" and Lisa Helen Gray with her Wrong Crowd. The book starts with our main character Stella receiving a wooden box with a letter. The letter is addressed to her real name, a name she has not used in years as even growing up - her mum made them use fake names until her mother disappeared without a trace when she was 15 years old. Now two years later, Stella has been living on her own and working as a waitress and trying to do schooling online. The letter is apparently from her Aunt Cecily asking her to visit her in Folkestone. Stella accepts and makes her way to Folkestone. She is about to get the surprise of her life as she learns that her mother came from wealth and her family the Bradleigh's were one of the founding famil...
