Another cross over genre book by Modglin and I AM HERE FOR IT!!! Bridget’s parents passed away and she lived with her grandmother, Vera. But after school, she’s kicked out. Bridget is surprised to learn of Vera’s passing and that she left the house to her… and Cole, the son of Vera’s house manager. Now they are roommates and have to figure out what to do with the house. Then the first letter arrives. It’s signed “your friend” and reveals Vera’s secrets. Things about Vera that Bridget never knew. Now Bridget can’t decide who to trust, and she has no idea what horrors that may lie in and around the Bitter house.
True to style, Modglin brings you another book that is full of secrets and twists. I really loved the premise of this book – the letter idea was genius. The letters that Bridget receives sends her on a sort of scavenger hunt to find out Vera’s secrets. I couldn’t wait for the next letter to come, and for all of them to come so that I could figure out WHO was sending them.
Again, true to style, this is really fast paced. As many of you know, I need fast paced. I don’t want to get bogged down in too much set up, or too much unnecessary background. I don’t care for books where all the action is in the last 50 or so pages. I want the action throughout! Modglin writes books that are true thrillers.
I did say there was a cross over, and it was – there was a bit of romance in this book. And I LOVED IT! Modglin’s romantic thrillers (like this one and Hemlock) are some of my absolute favorites. I would love to see the day where we get a true romance, or even a dark romance from her.
