Book Review: Everything We Keep

Genre: Fiction/Mystery/Romance

Aimee has plans - marry the love of her life, open her own restaurant, and live happily ever after. All that changes when her fiancee goes to Mexico on a business trip and doesn't come back. Two months later his body is found and buried on their wedding day.

Lacy introduces herself at the funeral as a psychic and says her fiancee is still alive. Aimee brushes her off as crazy person and moves on with her life. She meets a guy, opens her restaurant and things are going well. However, clues are appearing that things may not have happened the way she had thought and she may still have a fiancee out there somewhere - alive.

I had trouble getting into the story at first. It moved a little slowly. Finally, I got to a point where I didn't want to stop and I just wanted to keep reading. It did have a few sex scenes that were a little more detailed than I was comfortable with, however, it wasn't to the point that I would classify it as erotica. There were also a lot of cuss words in it, including the F word. So, this is a book I would NOT recommend for teens. Definitely adult material in here.

Overall, it was a really good book that kept me moving along throughout the story. There were constant flashbacks throughout where clues kept coming to the surface. By the time I, as the reader, had all the information, I couldn't figure out how Aimee didn't know "who-done-it." Sometimes Aimee got on my nerves when it came to Ian, her romantic interest. She was so mean to him and I just wanted to shake her.

The Epilogue ends with a cliff hanger, but the author, Kerry Lonsdale, stated in a Q&A that she is planning on a sequel coming out in 2017. YAY!!! :) This is her debut novel, but she has been writing professionally for over twenty years. If you'd like to learn more about her then check out her web page at http://www.kerrylonsdale.com/

I give this book 3 stars. ***
