Happily Never After

Happily Never After
By Madison Score


Blurb:
Things are looking up for Claire Hartley. After thwarting yet another attempted murder, she’s enjoying the quiet life as a dog mom to Rosie, girlfriend to grumpy filmmaker Luke, and planner of epic marriage proposals.

If she can manage to pull off this wildly elaborate Hollywood proposal, her dreams of creating bicoastal happily ever afters will finally come true. So what if her trauma-induced sleepwalking—and sleepsnacking—hasn’t gone away yet? That doesn’t mean anything, right? She’s fine. Everything is fine.

Except it’s not. There’s a teeny, tiny possibility that she didn’t put every member of the sinister, murdery organization behind bars. At least, that’s what Claire’s burned-down warehouse and a swimming pool full of blood lead her to believe.

The FBI isn’t turning up any leads, and when the threats escalate to target people she loves, Claire is forced to put on her amateur sleuth trench coat one last time.

The stakes have never been higher.

Can she turn the tables on the bad guys or will she—or someone incredibly close to her—be the final victim?


Review:

It took me a minute to get completely sucked into this story, but when I did, I flew through it. 

A first read by me from this author, Madison Score. All I can say is wow! This book is well written and everything blends it in so well. This is a page turner for sure. It kept me in suspense and full of so many surprises that I never saw coming. I loved how the author brought up the previous scenarios and how this affected the main characters of the book. 

I probably could have read it in one sitting, but adulting kept getting in the way. I loved the pace of the book. The characters are distinct and realistic. Claire and Luke's relationship flows well in this book. Several of the minor characters really brought the scenes to life and kept the story flowing when I might have been tempted to put it down. But I was glad I kept with it and let the story play out in its entirety.

Rating : 4/5

Thank you to Hambright PR for providing me a copy of this book.
