Publisher's summary
When the patriarch Chancellor King gets dethroned, the “monarchy” of New York City’s Five Points falls into disarray, giving way to a bloody battle for the crown
After the arrest of Chancellor King and the murder of his eldest son and heir, Ghost, the King family and the streets of New York City are thrown into chaos.
Chancellor’s older brother, Chapman, takes the opportunity to usurp the crown, breaking the line of succession and stepping over his nephew Shadow. Chapman’s first act as the new king is to banish what remains of his broken family, branding them enemies of the crown.
Stripped of all wealth and power, Maureen King places a seemingly impossible task on the shoulders of Shadow—to reclaim what was stolen from their family and take back the crown.
The King clan—as relentless as the heirs on the hit TV sensation Succession—are among K’wan’s most memorable characters to date.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Buckhead isn’t a place you live, it’s a place you survive. And that applies even to the wealthy housewives that have it all. Fancy cars, designer clothes, and daily salon appointments aren’t nearly enough to keep them fulfilled and happy. Because in this town, privilege and opulence go hand in hand with betrayal and revenge. Jenny, the owner of Glow, an exclusive membership-only beauty salon, knows that better than anyone, because she knows everything about these housewives—down to each individual strand of hair.

It was ok
I Like the first book. I listen to it twice. The second book was okay, not as enjoyable as the first but good nonetheless. Pacing was a bit slower to me. Looking forward to the next.

The story over all was good but the ending seemed very rushed . I would have enjoyed a longer book with more details. Excited for part two hopefully it doesn’t take to long .

Very Good Sequel
I like the characters growing into their roles and standing up for their values. Looking to see how much more Shadow develops in taking a role in the family’s business. Great story looking to read more
