I really loved the characters and the plot! First five star read of the year for me. I loved the fairytale aspect of the plot and the main characters.

I won't give anything away, but I couldn't put this book down. It's part family drama, part love story, part twisted inheritance game. All set during a single week on the private island residence of the Storm family, in Narragansett Bay, RI. This family has massive amounts of baggage, and secrets, and drama. Great vacation read.

This was a good book. My son and I really enjoyed it. We laughed and we thoroughly enjoyed reading it together.

I was very excited about this book. It sucked me in through the first 80% and lost a bit of steam. There were a few loose strings I’d like to have had cleared up . Overall, I enjoyed it yet wanted more from it.

A blend of the modern day and the historical. Set on (fictional) Winthrop Island, the book flips back and forth between the present day lives of Audrey, her actress mother, and her bartender father, and a November night in 1846, when the steamship Atlantic gets caught in a storm, suffers a catastrophic disaster, and sinks in Long Island Sound. This book does have some characters from other books of Williams', but can be read as a stand-alone as well. Great summer vacation read: engaging story + historical substance.

Very interesting and thoughtful book. Good for anyone with a negative habit, who is committed to change.

I read this all by myself

I read this book as an adult, in preparation for giving it to our nephew at Christmastime. I wanted to make sure that the book would be well-suited to him, and also was eager to refresh and deepen my own basic chess skills. I found the writing to be clear and approachable. The sections and chapters of the book are thoughtfully structured and well organized. Illustrative examples and opportunities for practice and application of concepts and skills are interspersed throughout the book in a timely and helpful manner. The author provides a list of resources for further learning and practice as well. I highly recommend this book as a great starting point or refresher for children and adults who wish to play chess!

I read this all by myself!

The fifth in a series is more fun than the past books because I know the area it takes place, and because I'm be to tarot. It's fun to learn about "magic" with historical references. A joy to read.
