Review-
Steep in mystery, murder, ghosts and deep dark family secrets, Ruined is a Fantastic book. I loved the atmosphere of the New Orleans settings. You feel as if you are really in that old Historical city. I could actually feel the presence of the Lafayette Cemetery. The storyline is so full and twisting you hardly get your bearings before you are off in a new direction. The main character is a delight to follow through all her trials. She is way braver than I would have been in her situation. Guess that just runs in her Old-line Family blood. Fortunately, she rights the wrongs of her ancestors. I can not wait to read the sequel to this thrilling story !! I Love the way this Author tells a tale. She is one of my new Favorites to read.
