𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 by NY Times & USA Today bestselling author  is coming on May 16th!!! Fans of billionaires, enemies to lovers, rich boy/poor girl vibes, and a creepy haunted house thrown in, this is the book for you! 

Win Halliday lives an extraordinary life.

When he moves, the rest of the world moves with him. As the heir to the Halliday name and fortune, Win’s entire life has been carefully orchestrated from the moment he came into the world. He’s never been allowed to aspire for anything outside that plan, including love. After the tragedy that followed his younger brother chasing his foolish heart, the Halliday Matriarch insists on picking a bride that’s up to her outrageously high standards.

Unfortunately, for all the eager bachelorettes, the only woman Win would ever consider marrying isn’t found anywhere on his mother’s list.

He’s got his eye on the exceptionally ordinary, Channing Harvey.

There’s so much history and hatred between the two of them, that a happily ever after is impossible. Win doesn’t need forever, he just needs to get his tyrannical mother off his back.

Channing’s not interested in his millions or his ridiculous contract marriage offer, but she’s about to learn that Win Halliday is relentless. This is the first decision Win has made with only himself in mind, and nothing’s going to stop him from getting what he wants.

They're getting married, and God help whoever gets in Win’s way — including his very reluctant bride-to-be.

I went into this blind and it took me on an intriguing journey of twists and turns and left me wanting more of these characters. 

Winchester Halliday is a miserable, rigid, impatient powerful, wealthy, successful heir to the Halliday legacy. He seems like an alphahole but there are many layers to him.

Channing Harvey is a flighty, vibrant, bold, sassy, big-hearted, and loyal woman from a not-so-affluent family. Her past and current life situation are complicated and messy. 

They are tied together through tragic circumstances and someone they both care about, but they feel they are enemies and seem to thrive on riling each other up. But Winn has decided that acquiring Channing into his life like a business deal could solve several of their issues. And he does not really care if Channing is prepared to fight him on it or not. 

A bit of extortion and blackmail just scratch the surface but digging deeper reveals a tangled web of secrets, manipulation, deception, betrayal, and surprises. It kept me invested in the characters as they became more vulnerable and worked together trying to find the answers. And it had me on the edge of my seat as secrets were revealed and the suspense kept building.

It's an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, rich man-poor woman story wrapped up in a suspenseful and mysterious soap opera with family dynamics and dark secrets. 

The Halliday Manor is a character in itself with its dark history and layers of secrets. There is one character that I absolutely hated with a passion. There were other side characters I liked and added depth to the story.  I enjoyed Win and Channing's chemistry. They are fiery, passionate, determined, and devoted to those they care about. I was surprised when I got to the last page and was not ready to say goodbye to them at the end and I cannot wait to see more from these characters. 


This was such a fantastic read! Because it is Jay Crownover I went into it pretty blind. She is a definite-read for me and I knew if she was putting out a new book it would be absolutely worth it. Going in blind, I hadn’t realized it was a duet, but with the character development and the direction the plot went, I am so glad she didn’t rush it to fit everything into one title.

Win Halliday has had everything handed to him on a silver platter. Running the family businesses has always been expected though, no matter what his other interests might have been. He is juggling business obligations with raising his niece, but his mother won’t be happy until he is married to the right type of woman, and she parades a variety from the families she approves of in front of him in the hopes he will choose an appropriate partner.

Channing Harvey is fiercely independent, a little flighty, but fantastically loyal to those she loves. She has worked for everything she has and values hard work and problem solving to face life. As she does her best to be present in her niece’s life, she tries to balance the opulence that Winnie lives in with teaching her how to face real life challenges she may encounter should anything happen to her living situation.

I loved everything about this story. The characters were perfection for their opposite natures. Win is organized, methodical, and very serious. Channing is more of a free spirit, with a backbone that means she stands her ground. Where Win has had everything handed to him, Channing has had to work immensely hard for every little break she has.

The storyline had me guessing and predicting throughout, putting clues together and rearranging them trying to figure out what all was going on. I have to say, even though I was pretty sure I knew what was happening, I was shocked when the truth was revealed. There are some diabolical influences in effect here and the twists and turns were fantastic!

And that ending! I can’t wait to see where these characters take us next as they work through the pieces of this plot that are still waiting for resolution.
