Annalisse Series, Book 2
Mystery/Suspense
A small amount of Romance
(not the focal point of the story)
Date Published: 12-11-2019
Publisher: Ewephoric Publishing
Antiquities appraiser Annalisse Drury drives to her family farm in upstate New York to consult with Aunt Kate about her troubled relationship with Greek tycoon, Alec Zavos. When Annalisse arrives, she learns the beloved farm she expects to inherit is for sale.
That same morning, they find a stranger’s body decaying in the barn. Then her aunt vanishes.
In Spent Identity, Annalisse and Alec join forces for the second time. They must find the mastermind behind her aunt’s abduction before Kate’s health issues worsen. Was the corpse in the barn a coincidence or a warning? The clock ticks for Annalisse to find her aunt and repair what she has left with the man she loves.
My Review
This is one
of those books that if you’re not careful you’ll get nothing else done til you
finish it. I’m not saying it has a deep and dark mysterious plot. It’s an
enjoyable read and it has an easy reading flow. It is full of suspense and has the
usual family secrets. The kind of secrets that help some and make others angry.
It is not a romance, but it did have me hoping some people ended up together.
There were a
couple of occurrences in this story that I did wonder how they came about or
maybe I should say I didn’t know if it was believable that they could come
about. Then again, I am a very black and white thinker, and this is after
all...fiction. I’m not going to mention it here. It’s a story worth your
reading time and I don’t want to ruin it for you. I will say my questions did
not ruin the read for me at all.
Spent
Identity is Book 2 of a series titled “Annalisse Series”. While there were a
few references to Annalisse’s life before this book, I think this can easily be
read as a stand-alone. Might not want to miss Book 1 though:)
