She Buried Her Past. It’s Back to Destroy Her.

Skylar Van Ness has always been a fighter. From her tumultuous childhood in Amsterdam to her rise as the Vice President of Marketing at Donovan Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, she’s faced every challenge head-on.

But when Skylar’s estranged mother, Brit, reappears with a sinister agenda, Skylar’s world is turned upside down. As secrets from her past threaten to unravel her carefully constructed life, Skylar must navigate a treacherous path of deception, blackmail, betrayal and heart-wrenching revelations. With the stakes higher than ever, she must rely on instinct alone — because trust is a luxury she can’t afford.

The eagerly anticipated follow-up to Adele Royce’s nail-biting Summer’s Blood, Slipper Girl is a gripping tale of one woman’s resilience and redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

My Review:

I received an ARC from this author. Skylar has many things hidden from her past that she does NOT want out. Then her mother, Brit, comes to town clinging to the biggest whale in the casino. Someone is bribing another, or more is going on. Skyler must keep her past from her cousin, Axel, and James, a sexy dude looking to up his rank in the casino. DJ Keller runs the casino and his ex is Brit. DJ also just remarried. Nothing is as it seems, no matter how great an act you present. Skylar’s best kept secrets from her time in Amsterdam are close to surfacing and she must decide her next steps pronto. This book is perfectly written, the pace is fast, quite engaging, and filled with love, deception, suspense, and intrigue. Someone is stalking Skylar, and stalking is never a good thing. What will Skylar do? Can she make herself disappear for a while? Who has the incriminating photos of Skylar taken in Amsterdam? Who is on Skylar’s side?
