The sample of the book was able to keep me interested and wanting to continue reading. It was a little hard to follow at some points with the various characters, but it was only a sample of the book! I think this book can catch the reader’s attention and keep them interested.

Am interesting review. Hillary wasn't really guarded in her upbringing but she was determined to be there for her own daughter, Claire. Claire was brilliant and exceptional among other kids. Nonetheless, she maitained the normal lane of children's habit. Claire went on vacation and some facts are being unraveled, hope the family tie will still be secured. I hope to get more insight about this story. A Nice review.

I admire the plot development of this well-written book. Usually, family based novels contains certain elements of suspense to the reader, especially when it deals with family secrets and the unraveling of unknown facts. Thanks for your review!

This looks like a nice read. I'm curious about what the family dark secrets we're. I'm definitely going to read it to find out. Thanks for the review.

Insightful review. It sounds interesting. I'm glad that this book stands on its own despite been in a series.

Thanks for another well-written review, Cecilia! I always enjoy your clear, analytical reviews. Honestly, after reading the Amazon blurb and the sample pages, I wasn't that terribly impressed, but your review sparks my interest. I think I would enjoy reading a book with realistic characters--especially, a well-written child-character. I may give this one a try. Good to know it's a stand-alone that doesn't require the previous books in the series to be read.

House of Eire is an wonderful book that can keep a reader suspenseful.

Also, it has a couple of interesting characters that are lively.For example, Hilary, the main character and her child Claire.

Moreover, the plot is interesting and the book is edited well.

I think it would be an enjoyable read for readers.

Thank you for the review.

I like that the plot is multilayered. Claire's character brings an interesting angle to the story as well. It seems well rounded in my opinion.

This was an interesting review and makes me want to read this book. I am, however, a person who does not like to read books that are a part of a series as a standalone... In my experience, there is always something that is missed because you didn't read the previous books in the series. That all said, this one looks interesting, so I may invest the time into reading it.

This sounds like a book that I'd quite enjoy, not to mention it's a stand-alone so it won't be necessary for me to read the others. I love the mystery that comes along with the dark secrets that's to be spilled. Also the characters seem to be realistic and easy to like. All in all, this book is a definite must-read.

Latest Review: The Two Worlds in Which we Live Physical and Spiritual by Evelyn Rozier

Post by ssnider214 »

I liked, from the preview I read, how description every aspect seems to be. Even the temperature and humidity level were described. The book started out with enough action to get one interested, but not so much action that it leaves one feeling overwhelmed. I would be interested to read this book and follow the journey of the main characters.
