REVIEW⤏ DEADLY LITTLE SCANDALS (DEBUTANTES #2)


BY JENNIFER LYNN BARNES




    SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS⇣
    "Think of the White Gloves like the Junior League—by way of Skull and Bones…"
    Reluctant debutante Sawyer Taft joined Southern high society for one reason and one reason alone: to identify and locate her biological father. But the answers Sawyer found during her debutante year only left her with more questions and one potentially life-ruining secret. When her cousin Lily ropes her into pledging a mysterious, elite, and all-female secret society called the White Gloves, Sawyer soon discovers that someone in the group's ranks may have the answers she's looking for. Things are looking up... until Sawyer and the White Gloves make a disturbing discovery near the family's summer home--and uncover a twisted secret, decades in the making. No one is quite who they seem to be in this twisty, soapy, gasp-inducing sequel to Jennifer Lynn Barnes' unputdownable Little White Lies.

      MY THOUGHTS⇣


      The narrator, Katherine Littrell has the perfect accent to set the atmosphere for this story flawlessly.  But sometimes the twang she had going on was a little difficult for this Yankee to understand.

      The blurb is spot on when it calls this twisty, soapy and gasp-inducing.  While I found this to be totally entertaining I also found the many characters...all the who's momma is who's and baby daddy drama difficult to keep track of.  I really liked book one, Little White Lies, but even with that book, I found the characters difficult to keep track of.  Although, with all that drama and those draw-dropping twists...this could make for an excellent TV show.  Maybe, if I had listened to these books closer together I could have kept track of it all.  If you do decide to give this duo a try...it might be best if you keep a flow-chart on everyone, like, family tree style...but you should definitely use a pencil.
