Nyssa Kathryn writes my favourite small town romances; they are such a good blend of the sweet elements of small town with suspense and a mystery driving the plot. Unraveled had me fooled into thinking it was going to be more of a romcom with the fake dating trope and although there are some really funny moments involving chainsaws, fences, and trees, there is a great plot surrounding Skye and her past which hooked me straight away. It feels a little like a book of two halves as the suspense creeps up on you after the focus being on the fake dating but it leads to some interesting twists and turns and I was genuinely surprised at the culprit.
Skye is a likeable FMC and Becket getting under her skin was consistently funny although how she managed to put up with her meddling matchmaking parents was beyond me. I loved seeing the Hayes family again too (Pam is still a sweetheart) and Becket's relationships with his siblings is always good fun to listen to. The banter in this book was made for duet narration and with the talent that is CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow taking the reins you cannot help but love these characters. The audio is just top notch. Clara and Holden look to be up next and I think its going to be more of an angsty one after the hints dropped in this book.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
