Ruination
Heidi Drysdale
Gothic Romance
In the stormy spring of 1816, a quiet widow known as Mrs. Sutton arrives in London, ready to rain misery on certain aristocratic heads. Her friend Alice is dead. Four men will pay, haunted by their own cruelty.
Behind Mrs. Sutton’s mask lies Margot, who has come home for retribution, and for the love she lost when forced to flee the country eight years earlier. Her childhood friend Davian Archer—now the mastermind behind assorted criminal enterprises—will make the perfect accomplice in executing Margot’s carefully calculated plans of revenge.
As ruthless as the woman who once left him behind, Davian intends to ensure he and Margot never part again. But before they can explore what their future might hold, the lives of Alice’s privileged killers must be unraveled, one thread at a time.
In a society ruled by appearances, not everything is as it seems, and ruination always lurks in the shadows. Particularly when a woman’s rage is tempered only by her patience.
Uncaged Review: Margot, returns to England for her poor friend Alice who ends up murdered. By some gentlemen the catch is they don’t even know she is dead. What follows next is a journey of retribution and revenge. I found this book a little confusing at first but soon grasped the concept of the book over time. The only downside to the book is I felt like the author took up a lot of the plot by describing a lot of the book while telling us very little at the same time. One thing I did enjoy about the book was it was spilt into three parts. So, it wasn’t all rushed into a ending very quickly. My overall thoughts are the book isn’t bad it just wasn’t for me I did find the premises of the storyline interesting though. Reviewed by Jen
