GILDED SERPENT IS BOOK 3 IN THE DARK SHORES SERIES, SO MY REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST TWO BOOKS Gilded Serpent picks up right where Dark Shores and Dark Skies finish and sets us on a rollercoaster ride right from the start.

The story of Romeo and Juliet took centre stage as the retelling, but Wuthering Heights also played a large part.

As usual, clicking on the pics below will take you to my reviews (Some reviews may not be live on my blog yet as I post them on the book’s release date due to

When new mother Bridget catches her train home from London, she witnesses something terrible: a young girl is taken from the platform, right before her eyes. Bridget is exhausted, working long hours while her husband is at home with their baby. When she witnesses a child being kidnapped from a station, when she’s rushing past on the train, she’s desperate for her to be found. The author did a wonderful Jon of hilighting the difficulties of both sides of parenting – for ones working away from home and ones staying home with the child.
