REVIEW:
*Soap opera music* And in this episode of….*Record scratch*
Never mind all that. Let’s get into it!
Okay, so apparently the phrase ‘new year, new me’ doesn’t apply to this lot because they are still performing the same stunts, shows and shenanigans they’ve always performed. Only this time, the offspring have taken their parents’ batons and run with the trifling and low down antics.
Those children are low down, shameless and scandalous and I’m here for ALL of it.
The drama is abundant in this one, the storylines are fast paced and seamless; the characters and their dialogues are extremely well written. So we’ll written that I wished I could reach into the book, smack a few at the backs of their heads, toss some into the sea and yeet some off of the highest point into an erupting volcano.
The salacious goings on with this lot never ceases to amaze me. Just when you think they couldn’t get any more scandalous, they up the bar. I honest to goddess read this story clutching my pearls but in a good way.
I am absolutely enamored with this series and these characters. Well, SOME of the characters. It’s just crazy the secrets and lies that these people hold and the vast amounts of energy they use to keep these secrets. The lies and deceit is…a lot!
As always, this author does an exceptional job of brining these characters to life and make reading these stories highly exciting!
