What a great debut! The Rosewood family are the original founders of Rosetown and to this day they host lavish parties. Unfortunately the Rosewoods have made some enemies and when the matriarch, Iris (Gram) passes, the fortune is missing. Lily, the eldest grandchild finds a clue from her Gram which leads her and three other local teens on a hunt to find the lost fortune. Unfortunately, tourists and treasure hunters are also on the lookout for it and the search becomes deadly.


This was a fun read and I enjoyed most of it! Unfortunately the last 20% dragged and I felt like the ending was a little to convenient. Overall I would recommend this though if you’re looking for a fun read with wonderfully fleshed out characters!
