Grace knows she saw a man with a scar on his face standing over her mother’s dead body three years ago. Yet, everyone tells her that her mom died of an accidental fire in her antique shop. For three years, Grace has seen countless doctors and retold her story to many well meaning people who think she’s simply going crazy from the trauma of losing her mother. Grace’s father has been stationed overseas and so she is forced to go live with her grandfather where he works as the U.S. ambassador to the tiny country, Adria. Returning to her mother’s childhood home brings back many feelings and fears for Grace, none of which are helped when she sees the man with the scar she saw that fateful night. Will anyone believe her story now? Can she prove her mother’s death wasn’t an accident and prove her sanity?
Fans of Ally Carter books will like this new series as well. It’s fun, unique, and has some clever plot twists. The characters are interesting, but will get more engaging with each installment. Grace’s post traumatic stress is described vividly and helps the reader understand why everyone around her feels she’s an unreliable witness. Recommended to readers looking for a quick read.
