Review Copy From Netgalley:
The moment I started this book, I was hooked. From the mystery around Daphne's colleague's death to the debate over the new Dean of the college and the dangerous target on Daphne's back. I enjoyed it all. On the surface, it seemed Daphne's connection to a colleague's death was non-existent. Until she realizes a random text from him in french is a message from a beloved personal book of hers--that's suddenly gone missing.
Daphne's intuitive, kind and professional nature despite the microaggressions she endures at Harrison University made her an instant favorite character for me. Her supportive best friends and her ex-CIA father made the story even more entertaining when Daphne sought out answers on her own to track down her missing book. Sam's 'charmer' personality didn't fool everyone, but it hid a lot of dark secrets both on and off campus.
The more Daphne uncovers; the greater the danger.
This was my introduction to the author's work and I'm excited to read from her again.
