I had a bit of a hard time getting into this one, but once you do. It is very action packed, and you never see what is coming next. When a young woman, Marlie, falls for a handsome Senator from TN, she doesn't realize what she is getting into. Some things were out in the open, like 15 year old twin step-sons. You will chuckle at how she deals with them. Her over powering new Sister-In-Law, Cooper. I think I would have locked the doors. Then there is Cooper's husband!! When you think you know what is going to happen....nope! Some of it is so very scary, be ready for a chilling ride. The saying "I see dead people", rather applies here, or not? The story is told from Marlie's perspective, and I wouldn't trade places with her. If you enjoy action mysteries...enjoy! I received this book through I Am A Reader, Not A Writer Blogger Program, and was not required to give a positive review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When Marlie attends a cadaver ball at Vanderbilt Medical School, she does not expect to actually see any cadavers. Or, that a strange apparition would issue her such a chilling message. Despite the cadavers warning, a year later Marlie is married to Tennessee State Senator, Daniel Cannon, and living in a plantation-style mansion with two step sons. Add to the mix her growing suspicion that something is amiss with the death of Daniels first wife, Gentry, and newlywed Marlie is definitely in over her pretty Yankee head. What begins as an innocent inquiry into her new husbands clouded past, ends with Marlie facing a dangerous conspiracy. A modern twist on the classic Gothic romance novels like Rebecca and Jane Eyre, Replacing Gentry follows Marlies precarious journey as she seeks to learn the truth about the man she married.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review from the author.
Like the description says, the best way to describe this book is a modern twist on Gothic-romance classics like Rebecca and Jane Eyre. You will find the mystery, thrill, and marital secrets. There were many facets to this book, many intriguing and captivating, keeping me engrossed within the story and turning pages to find answers. Ford did well with her story development and creating open ends. It was great to read a book that reminded me of quality literature! Not to mention it has a gorgeous cover...love it!
I also enjoyed how Ford was able to surface my emotions through situations and the emotions of Marlie. My heart broke for her and I felt the pain, sadness, and anger of her rejection from her husband and the people around her.
One big thing I did not like was the lack of a true hero. Daniel was pretty lame and just not likable. It kind of made the whole situation feel hopeless. There were also a lot of unanswered questions leaving the end feeling a bit rushed and lingering.
If you're reading Replacing Gentry for the sheer mystery and thrill, then I would recommend it. You will definitely enjoy the eerie and foreboding suspense! ( )
