The Tell Tale by Clare Ashton
5.0
If you like being bamboozled Clare Ashton is your go to author, never a predictable plot. Oh man, she delivers it every time!
What a freaking roller-coaster of emotions! Anxiety, happiness [eh], all stages of mourning, angst, rage, whatever other feelings I could come up at the wee hours of the night choosing to read the book in one sitting, so at 3am this morning, when I was about 50% [that necklace scene], I was part tears part snot sobbing like a fool. So honestly go for it! it's a page turner as always with Clare Ashton and the plus is on KU!
Ah, the only reason this wasn't a 5 for me is because of the ending. I'm a petulant, entitled, resentful suck3r for details, meaning: gossip, titbits, I want the dirty, privileged access to more and IMHO a few things were left untold. The whole book was phenomenal, but this got to me.
Now I'm here with puffy eyes and honestly don't know much what else to say. Anyway, I'll just let it be and after simmering for a few days and a full night of sleep I'll revisit and maybe do a more useful review, written and of grade.
Edit: I slept 2 hours and came to the conclusion 5 was better suited, but I'm still feeling the bittersweet aftertaste
