Felicity has buried what she knows so deeply that she can’t even remember what it is… only that she can’t look at Tress without having a panic attack. She knows that one misstep could send her tumbling from the top of the social ladder, and she’s worked hard to make everyone forget that she was with the Montors the night they disappeared. She might still be a Montor, but the entire town shuns her now that she lives with her drunken, one-eyed grandfather at what locals refer to as the “White Trash Zoo,” – a wild animal attraction.įelicity Turnado has it all – looks, money, and a secret that she’s kept hidden. When her parents disappeared seven years ago while driving her best friend home, Tress lost everything. Tress Montor knows that her family used to mean something-until she didn’t have a family anymore. Even though there were some minor flaws, I think this was a greatly written thriller retelling (which I never read before) and recommend it to fans of Edgar Allen Poe and Kit Frick.Welcome to Amontillado, Ohio, where your last name is worth more than money, and secrets can be kept… for a price.

To make you want to read it more, it’s also a retelling of The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe. There are some parts left open-ended that I was disappointed in before not finding out but realized there is a second book coming out which I’m excited for. There were some good side characters in this book and also this book isn’t focused on romance for those who would like mystery/thriller without it.Įven though the ending was rushed, I did enjoy it because it was thrilling and finally figuring out the truth. I did enjoy Felicity and trying to find out what happened that night with Tress’s parents.

Her plan may be evil but I love how she fights for herself and lives instead of giving up. My favorite character was Tress because she has such a hard time with having no parents and she develops throughout the story. I enjoyed the multiple different POVs so we can get into the different characters and animals mind and see how they thought. The pacing was well in the beginning and middle but the ending was rushed. I enjoyed the author’s writing in this book and was instantly hooked in the beginning. But now Tress has a plan to get her answers and revenge.

Then there is Felicity who was with Tress’s parents that night but won’t reveal anything because she can’t remember and if she does, she tries to forget it so it won’t bring her social life down.

Tress loses her parents one night and now is being taken care of by her drunken grandfather. It’s about two girls named Tress and Felicity.
