“They say, when you are old, you want to have lived a life full of stories to tell. I wish I didn't have so many. And I sure wish mine weren't so dark.” – Dianne First of all: my boyfriend FOUND THE TWIST only with my (very bad) summary of the first chapters. I was like “no it can’t be, I’m sure it’s something else” Well guys I’m no Sherlock Holmes that’s for sure, I GASPED at the plot twist Maybe that’s why I enjoyed the story and the writing. I love heavy thrillers with dark and heavy writing, but sometimes fast paced stories just hit good as well. I enjoyed the fact that we had an answer for everything, even if I would’ve liked it written differently, included IN the story and not just put at the end as if the author didn’t know or forgot about those facts that needed answers. The “love story” subplot is kind of useless here, I think it was only to keep romance readers interested, but it was still cute and added a lighter note to the story, easing the flow of reading. Anyway, in this book you follow Mackenzie, a college student who just lost her mother – the famous E. V. Renge, author of best sellers. But Mackenzie isn’t grieving, in fact nobody is in her family, not even her father. That’s when she starts receiving strange letters from an unknown naming themselves “Your #1 fan. XOXO” And just like this, you’re thrown at Kenzie’s place: you start to unravel her mom’s real story as Mackenzie starts spinning around this new reality, discovering that her mom might have had a dark past, and that her stories are not just stories but reality. Tag along with Mackenzie and EJ, her best friend, to discover the truth behind who E. V. Renge was. You’ll discover characters from the past, some who are not so distant and others who are not quite who they seem to be. “They say knowledge is power. They don’t tell you how powerful it is at destroying people.” – Mackenzie
