From the author of Sweet Hollow Women comes a new novel for fans of Liane Moriarty and Megan Abbott about the secrets that hide in the shadows of even the most ordinary-seeming lives. 

~2013~ Idyllic Port Elspeth, Connecticut is rocked by tragedy. Shortly after their high school graduation, Evangeline Maddingly, daughter of one of the town's wealthiest old-money families, and Oliver Prescott, son of one of the town's wealthiest new-money families, are found dead in an isolated cabin in the woods outside of town. The circumstances surrounding their untimely deaths are murky at best, thanks in large part to a sweeping effort from those in power to shut down any negative publicity that could harm the reputation of the pristine, oceanside community.

~Five years later~ A small group of strangers gathers to create jewelry for one of Port Elspeth's many fundraisers. Before long, friendships are forming and old secrets are being revealed. Along with discovering how to make a perfect pair of chandelier earrings or cabochon necklace, these unlikely sleuths find themselves at the heart of solving the murders that took place half a decade earlier.

Love or Justice by Rachel Mannino

5 Star Read!!!!

This book came to me at a time when I read some really bad erotic stories that didn't appeal to me. I am thankful that I was asked to review this book and here is my review.

This was action packed with love, murder and survival.

You meet Laurie who is stubborn like me and who will do anything to help out. She goes into witness protection for seeing two people in a hotel room with a murderer. Then you get to meet Dante who is super gorgeous! He comes in to get Laurie but things go wrong.

They fight for their lives and now are on the run because there is a mole. I hate the mole in the US marshal service. Someone is feeding intel on Laurie's whereabouts to the murderer!

You think you know who it is but you will be shocked when you find out!

I don't want to spoil the rest for you but I can tell you, you will not be disappointed when you read this book. I recommend you get this and read it, is action packed and you will fall in love with Laurie and Dante!

Synopsis

In 'Red Veil of Murder,' the fifth in the Matt Saga Series, Matt escapes the law and goes after his ‘beloved’ Venia. Is he looking to kill her - with kisses? Or use a weapon, other than his lips? With Matt, you never can tell. 

Matt meets the devious Devia too. 

Imagine the scene, one killer sizing up another as they circle each other like wolves on a hunt. It’s explosive to say the least.

Matt is a man like no other. 

Suitable for readers aged 18+ only, due to the graphic content of some chapters.

Excerpt

Without knowing Matt's plans, or of his escape, Marie screamed up at the sky as Matt’s plane flew directly over the hospital. She reached up and wailed as his plane soared higher. She could feel him, feel his pain and it added to her own. She stretched out her arms towards him as she implored him to come back to her. The invisible twin cord was stretching between them and growing tight. It pulled at her soul and pulled at her heart as she felt the distance between them growing. In the corner of the room, the ghost of her mother sat and watched as she sobbed profusely.
"Mamma, he’s leaving," she wailed in anguish.
"Yes, my child, but you will find him again."
"Must I spend my life chasing him?"
Her mother tutted.
"If you had told him, he’d have taken you with him. Didn’t he come for you before?"
"Yes, Mamma." She looked down as the tears dropped on to the floor of her locked hospital room.
The door opened and the doctors walked in. Their white coats flapping around them as they encircled her and looked down. She had been kneeling in the far corner and now she looked up at them, her eyes fearful.

What Others Are Saying

 Another book which takes you on a snake twisting and turning journey of disbelief. How to review without giving the many things away? This could be the hardest review to write. This book is so fast paced that the words were literally jumping off the page. ~ Goodreads Review

This books delivers AGAIN! ...
A range of happiness,anger,hate,sadness,OMG,WTH moments as it continues on with Matt's story. So far I have loved to hate Matt throughout the other books. But this one has bought sadness into the mix of my feelings towards him. ~ Goodreads Review

Matt is back again after fleeing from the law to America. It’s going to be hard to say much as I don’t want to give anything away that will spoil the enjoyment of this book, but let me tell you that it is a fantastic read, I think this is my favourite of the series! ~ Goodreads Review

As all of the other books in this series, I devoured every sentence from the Foreward to the Epilgoue. My emotions went through the ringer once again. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! I was shocked and surprised! ~ Goodreads Review

Review

Red Veil of Murder by Viveca Benoir
Review done by Cassandra Brooker for Cassandra’s reviews
I received an ARC for an honest review

I give this book 4.5 stars.

Okay, I had a little trouble following the storyline but managed to figure it out.  It had a great story line just hard to follow for me.
Matt had flown to California to find his beloved Venia, he left his son behind and even though it hurt him he still left. Matt had everything arranged plus unlimited cash.
He had done his research before arriving in California and found out where Venia was working.
I won’t give too much away because I don’t want to spoil it for you.
Venia is acting strange and Matt can’t put his finger on it but he knows that something is wrong. He does some digging and discovers a cold hard truth. He finds another girl chained up, she is hurt badly and malnourished but who is she?
Will Mat save her?
Karma is cruel and Matt makes sure Venia (evil lady or happy coffee shop owner) will know the extent of it.
What will Matt do?



I recommend you get this book and read it; it is a mind twister but really good. I struggled on the plot line but it’s still very good and I think you will all enjoy this book. For mature audiences only (18+)
