I’ve loved the Tess Monaghan novels in the past, but this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The storyline felt off and some parts were too predictable. Still, the writing quality kept me engaged enough to finish it.

Nice but a bit slow at times
I enjoyed parts of the Hush Hush Tess Monaghan novel, but it felt a little slow in the middle. The character development was great, though, and I loved the setting. Just wish there was a bit more action in the middle chapters!
