Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

Beautiful story set in 1812 Virginia
Reviewed: 04-09-21
This was a beautiful story set in Virginia 1812. A yellow fever epidemic has forced Carter to return home and care for his nephews and Dogwood Plantation after the death if his brother. Nell is the daughter of the plantation manager. Her father also succumbed to Yellow Fever leaving her to care for her younger brother. She struggles with providing their needs and has to face many decisions. Carter and Nell grew up together and were forced apart by Carter's dad who thought she was beneath him. I love how the author intertwines their history together with the present. The character development was superb. I especially loved how she made some of the characters hard to love at first, until you really got to know them, especially the cousin.
The narrator did a good job with distinguishing the voices and personality of each character. I feel she did especially well with Cousin Hayes. I was a little annoyed at how mechanical the actual narration was in the beginning, but feel it got better as the story progressed. Or maybe the story was just so enjoyable itself that I quit noticing.

Reviewed: 12-12-19
This is such a great book. Mercy and Shad have developed a special friendship through the years and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. I loved learning about the history following the French and Indian War. This is a period I know very little about and my interest was sparked to do a little research of my own. The audible version of this book was so easy to listen to and kept my attention. The narrator does a fantastic job.

This was the first book I have read by Anna Zogg. I won a copy of this book and didn't know what to expect. It is a fantastic book! The development of her characters and the world building were great! It was such an interesting story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Now I have the Audible version and it is so well done. The narrator did an excellent job. He has a pleasant voice to listen to and keeps your attention.
