Casteel #2
*Spoilers
The second book in the Casteel series opens up on Heaven going to Boston to find her mother's family. The little bit she knows, she has learned from Pa's letter and from talking to Granny. She is going on faith that they will accept her.
Tony and Jillian Tatterton are one of the most prominent families in Boston. When Leigh ran away all those years ago, she left her mother in a terrible state.
Jillian Tatterton is a fragile soul. The damage her daughter caused on her reputation, and on her youth. was devastating. Tony is the backbone she relies on. The couple lives in a grand home, known as Farthington Mannor. This is also where Leigh lived, after her mother married Tony.
Heaven moves into her mother's suite. She feels a strong connection to Leigh, but is still at odds with how cold her grandparents feel to her. Right away, Tony is quick to lay out rules for Heaven. If she wishes to continue to stay with them, they must be followed to a T.
One of these rules includes Tony having control over her wardrobe, and where she will be going to school. Being the new girl is always difficult. Being the new girl who is forced to dress better than everyone, in a school of spoiled girls is worse.
While Heaven is excited to be with family, she misses her siblings terribly. Determined to bring them all back together one day, she keeps in contact with them. Even if it is against Tony's rules. She is also longing for Logan and hopes one day they can reconnect and live out all the dreams they dreamed as children.
This book is full of surprises. Mysterious mazes, ghosts of the pasts (and present), struggling to overcome the Casteel reputation, trying to make a name for herself.... it wears down on Heaven. However, she has a strength like no one else. She is as stubborn as ever, and when she sets her mind to something, she always follows through. If only she thought about the consequences.
A beautiful sequel to "Heaven", you see more obstacles that this young girl must go through. Your heart goes out to her as she tries to be strong. Her intentions are always good, but sometimes... the heart wants what the heart wants.
4/5 stars!
Next: Fallen Hearts
