I won this in a GOODREADS giveaway -- The Book of Secrets: Part 1 by Faith Mitchell -- This was a good read. ( )

Big Jack's powerful Book of Secrets has been hidden away for more than two centuries and Elizabeth and Sam will stop at nothing to get their hands on it, pulling Finch, Russell and Sierra into danger along the way. I really enjoyed this supernatural thriller set in the South Carolina Sea Islands, whch felt like a magical place away from the real world. Looking forward to Part II. ( )
