June : A novel

June: A novel
BY:

June was simply amazing, full of blackmail and good old-fashioned murder that kept me reading until the very last page. I was entranced while following Miranda Beverly Whittmore's tale of  the glitz and glamour of show biz, a mystery of a surprise inheritance, an unrequited love and a love story that transcends time itself.

I found while reading that all the characters in june were instantly relatable and I automatically  Hated Delilah As soon as she was introduced, she is totally a great instigator. But June is still my favorite I am totally team June.

She is a strong willed, responsible woman who always tries to do the right thing and puts the ones she loves first. She is an instant beloved character.  As well as Lindy (A.k.A "Rabbit legs") she is so sweet!

 My only complant is that this isn't a motion picture yet! I highly recommend and hope you all can give this a read.



its about:

The present-day tale centers on 25-year-old Cassie, holed up in St. Jude, Ohio, in the crumbling

manse called Two Oaks. The house was willed to her by her recently deceased grandmother June,

who raised her. Mourning not only June's death but also the recent deterioration of their relationship,

Cassie is befuddled to discover that she may be a bona fide heiress, as Hollywood legend Jack

Montgomery has left her his entire fortune. The assumption is that Cassie's father was the product of

a whirlwind affair between Jack and June, back when St. Jude was the setting for a film back in 1955.

Yet Cassie, in a decision that seems included primarily to drive the plot, refuses to agree to a DNA

test, forcing Montgomery's equally famous daughter to schlep out to St. Jude herself. Their present-

day detective work is interspersed with scenes from the filming of that 1955 film, conveyed largely

from the point of view of June's young companion Lindie, who secretly harbors romantic feelings for

her friend. Although some fantastical elements don't quite work (Two Oaks is sentient, and it shapes

the behavior of its inhabitants), the dual narratives are enjoyable both singly and in tandem as the

novel explores the changing possibilities for women, the evolution of the Hollywood fame machine, and love's potential for genuine human transformation.

The Heartless City

The Heartless City By: Andrea Berthot                                I love this book, (I did an all nighter to finish it.) . The Heartless City (great title and cover) is one of the best tales of the story Jekyll & Hyde I have ever read. The characters are relatable, the writing is fantastic, its filled with love, horror, drama, and betrayal. I feel sad when I read parts with Cam but I guess that means I feel like i could actually meet these characters. The only thing that I think could change is that they should have brought in Iris's dad ( who I can't reveal) into the book at the end. To sum it up: It starts in London with Henry Jekyll who was a brilliant doctor, a passionate idealist who aimed to free mankind of selfishness and vice. He’s also the man who carelessly created a race of monsters. Once shared secretly amon...
