I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Copy provided by OrangeSky Audio.

Jester Falls has always been an idyllic town and perfect for a getaway. There is no better place to stay than Magnolia House, the tourist trap's most popular bed and breakfast, run by the Channing family. Ruth loves her family - at least what's left of it. She would do anything to protect them. It is not until her brother picks up a mysterious woman on the side of Route 78 that Ruth realizes how many definitions the word anything can have. Everything about Ashley Parker rings false: her past, her profession, even her name. Most worryingly of all, her reluctance to leave. When guests start disappearing, it is clear there is  more at stake than just the family business. 

This audiobook took me three times of restarting it to finally get into this book. I was very confused about who was who and what was happening. I also did feel like the timeline jumping from past and present was a bit all over the place. I would say that the author needed to let us know beforehand if it was in the past or present. The ending was rushed. I wish we would have gotten more information on all of the characters in the epilogue. It felt like there was more to the story that wasn’t being told. Overall, the story was okay. However, It was a good introduction to Britney King for me.
