The Last Party

It's been a while since I've read one of Clare's books and this was the greatest reminder as to how she hooked me in the first place! So many interesting characters, many you just want to hate, but I love Leo and Ffion's chemistry.

The New Year's Eve Party at The Shore turned tragic when one of its founders turned up dead. Meant to be somewhat of an olive branch to the local residents of Cwm Coed on the opposite side of the lake, something to help squash the ongoing tension between the Welsh residents of Cwm Coed and the new English wealthy residents of The Shore.

But it turns out that everyone has a reason to want to kill Rhys Lloyd, so who was the lucky one to pull it off..? I promise you... you'll never see this one coming!

 This book was a slow burn that kept me engaged and wanting more. As an American, I had fun trying to pronounce the many Welch phrases and names (& Im sure I slaughtered them lol). The POV alternated between characters and jumped around in time, yet while I typically struggle with that in some books, I found this one very easy to follow. Full of twists and like most small-town drama, you get one bit at a time and the pieces slowly start to emerge until they all fall into place...  

So glad this this the start of a series as I loved Ffion's character and can't wait to see what she gets into next!
