I cannot help but think that this series has come to an end since Ellery Adams does a brilliant job in bringing all the storylines to a close. Perhaps this will be a new jumping off point for the people of Storyton Hall, but in my heart, I think I am saying good-bye.
Keeping the secrets of Storyton has taken a final toll on Jane and she must now decide if the cost is too high. After the kidnapping of her twin sons, she must hold a tighter rein on those that she holds dear, but as the truth comes out about her deceased husband, and the disappearance of her new love, Jane must make a decision that few will agree with.
Running Storyton Hall in Virginia, a book resort for those that need time away, Jane and her team create an idyllic reprieve from a hectic world. Little do people know of the goings on behind the scenes and even less about the secret passageways that lead to a hidden library.
A library, hidden from the rest of the world, that holds dangerous manuscripts and long-lost treasure that though concealed from the world, should, as Jane believes, be shared. As the body count increases and her guests roam the halls unaware, a war is going on between controlling factions and when they reach their final boiling point, there is one final death that will bring Jane to her knees forcing the end to one part of Storyton’s past.
I love how this series bring a small part of history to the forefront. How Ellery Adams quotes favorite books and involves their authors and stories into her plots without speaking down to the reader. How she makes you care about the intricacies of those that love books but remembers that people will always come first.
