Review

This is a twisted story that takes you on a wild ride.

Madeline and Wes Drake have invited two hundred of their closest friends and family to their sprawling horse ranch for the most anticipated event of the year: a “pistols and pearls” gender reveal party so sensational it is sure to make headlines. But the party descends into chaos when the celebratory explosive misfires, leaving one woman dead and a trail of secrets.

This has several threads to follow and trust me…this author keeps them alive and well in your head.

There is Jamie the ATF agent. He is back investigating the bombing at the gender reveal. But he also has an ulterior motive. His sister came up missing from this town and he is hoping to discover more…and boy does he!

Then there is Madeline and Wes. Not all is as it seems. Enter Lucy, Madeline’s sister. She is a piece of work. I didn’t quite know what to think of her. I did know she was hiding something. Don’t worry…it all comes out.

Talk about some family drama! Keep your eyes open because this has some twists you may not see coming!

I have said this before and I will say this again, I love a good tag team. This is narrated by Brittany Pressley and Xe Sands. These two did a great job.
