It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you've accepted that someone is out of your life, that you've grieved and its over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you've lost that person all over again.

• arc review: the heiress •

Not gonna lie: I highly recommend starting the year with a twisty, juicy domestic thriller. And Rachel Hawkins’s “The Heiress” not only delivers fun plot twists in her Southern-tinged tale, but a huge dose of toxic family dynamics and women behaving badly in this multi-POV, dual timeline story.

The book follows Camden and Jules, a happily married couple living in Colorado who travel to Cam’s family’s North Carolina home for the first time together to settle some matters – because though he was adopted, he is the heir to the family fortune and holds the pursestrings.

As Cam navigates his estranged family and Jules’s own motivations emerge, so too does the story of the titular heiress: Ruby McTavish, a woman wrapped in scandal after being kidnapped as a child and growing up to survive four husbands.

Though I didn’t think I was in the right ~mood~ for this book when I started it, I was quickly won over by Hawkins’s storytelling, her lively characters, and her ability to weave in irreverant humor. Though I saw one of the twists coming, there were others that took me by surprise, and the story kept me on my toes as I turned the pages.

Overall, The Heiress is the kind of thriller that is so much addicting fun it will likely keep you up at night so that you can finish it – and not because it’s given you nightmares.

4.25🌟

• I received an advanced copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The Heiress comes out January 9th! •

This author always comes up with such a new and intense tale that it always fascinates while it thrills me.

An ancient family, money that makes more money because of what a century old ancestor did. This group that fights, lives and dies in their ancient and beautiful mansion, Ashby Home located in the very majestic and dangerous Appalachian mountains in North Carolina seem to survive not just from the endless money but from a seething hatred amidst their family.

When Jules comes home from work one day, her husband has to let her know that he must return to his family. Not even true family. At least, in my opinion, true families are accepting and loving. After his adoptive mother, the infamous Ruby, dies and leaves him the house and the whole fortune he thought he could get away. Leave the money behind, the incessant problems. However, when he returns with his wife, there is more than just luggage to unpack. We learn Ruby's sordid tale, among others. And it's never what I expected.

This has the atmosphere and the characters that really made me feel the intensity of every part of this story. I truly enjoyed this and recommend it.

Out January 9, 2024!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!
