A review by samepaige
The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins

dark mysterious tense

4.0

ah yes, another installment of Rich People Making Poor Choices. this time, it’s the McTavish family, who are full of old money, secrets, and betrayal.

I’ve read almost all of Rachel Hawkins (aka Erin Sterling!!) adult gothic thrillers and have enjoyed them. This one isn’t my favorite of hers, but I don’t regret reading it. There were so many twists and turns that sometimes I had to stop and digest to really follow the plot. I loved Ruby; her POV is told through letters she wrote. Her dark sense of humor thrilled me.

highlights:
• set in a north carolina mansion
• told through the dual POV of main characters (cam and jules), letters from ruby, and media articles.
• unexpected twists along the way (maybe too many?)
• easy read - could finish in one day

thank you NetGalley + St. Martins press for this early copy. The Heiress comes out January 9, 2024!
