BLURB:
Bright sunshine sparkled on the fresh layer of snow that coated the ground of the cemetery. Dressed in black overcoats, friends and family members of the deceased, many of whom had attended the burial of another loved one just days earlier, stood in rows like soldiers as they watched the flower-covered casket slowly being lowered into the ground. Those closest to the grave gently tossed additional roses onto the casket as it made its descent. A priest, dressed in white, stood solemnly at the head of the grave offering a final blessing for the Mancini brother being laid to rest. Saying goodbye can be one of the most difficult events in a person’s life.” –BOYSTOWN Season Seven The shocking deaths of two beloved Boystown residents bring heartache and uncertainty to the lives of all who knew them. As family and friends grieve, the search begins for Joyelle Mancini and her daughter, who find themselves in the captivity of a madman.

As Christmas approaches, a startling murder leaves a killer on the loose. With the arrival of the worst blizzard in Chicago history, someone struggles to keep his true identity from his friends, an evil plan tears apart one of Boystown’s most prominent couples, and several unforeseen events result in life-threatening situations for members of the Ciancio and Mancini families. There’s no place like BOYSTOWN!
REVIEW:
Let me clutch my pearls so I can gather myself….
While I gather my thoughts, let’s the music begin…
*cues soap opera music*
On this season of The Young and Messy…
Okay, let’s see. This season has brought us scenes that were just a tad similar to previous seasons. The story starts out with a bit of slow singing and flower bringing. And of course mayhem ensues at another high profile social event. You’d think that with it happening at the first 7 events, they’d learn their lesson, but no. They should all just stay in the damn house.
The core characters are up to their usual foolishness but new characters are introduced that have ties to them all. As usual, the scenes jump from one to the other seamlessly. You have absolutely no problems keeping up because he’s so near and the scenes are tight.
There is of course, murder, mayhem, mysteries, backstabbing, infidelities, lies…the usual that goes on with this group of ‘friends’ and why, why , why are they still calling each other friends? These fools fall in and out of love, change bed partners like they change their manties and panties…they are a straight up mess and I am here for ALL of it!
The drama is intense, the storylines are over the top but that’s what makes them so damn fabulous!
Of course, there is so much that goes on and it gets so intense and just when you think it all is about to explode…the author leaves you panting! Then he tortured you by making you wait until the next book. Please be advised that hear books are definitely NOT standalone novels. You simply MUST read these in sequential order as the storylines and plots build off each other and it’s important to know every single character’s backstory in order to keep up with the sequence of events and characters.
This series is like a drug and I’m addicted to them.
This book was GLORIOUS!
