Synopsis

When Professor Lila Maclean is sent to interview celebrated author and notorious cad Damon Von Tussel, he disappears before her very eyes. The English department is thrown into chaos by the news, as Damon is supposed to headline Stonedale University’s upcoming Arts Week.

The chancellor makes it clear that he expects Lila to locate the writer and set events back on track immediately. But someone appears to have a different plan: strange warnings are received, valuable items go missing, and a series of dangerous incidents threaten the lives of Stonedale’s guests. After her beloved mother, who happens to be Damon’s ex, rushes onto campus and into harm’s way, Lila has even more reason to bring the culprit to light before anything—or anyone—else vanishes.

MY REVIEW:

This was the first book that I had read by this author. It is the second in the series. I was able to fully understand what was going on. The characters are well written. One of the things that I loved was that I had to think about the different clues and how things fit together. I love how books make me think. Lila's character is interesting. There was some small hints of romance - but I liked this book a lot. 

I was provided an advanced copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion. 

4 stars.
