Chronicle As Books Decision and Destiny: Colette's Legacy (Colette Trilogy #2)

A spellbinding saga of a remarkable american family . . .

The beautiful, frail Colette Duvoisin trusted governess Charmaine Ryan with her worries, her dreams, and the care of her beloved children. But now Colette is gone—leaving her three young ones devastated . . . and the house of Duvoisin in turmoil.

To her children's horror, their father, the enigmatic Frederic Duvoisin, weds his mistress and sister-in-law, Agatha, soon after their mother's untimely death. A scheming and dangerous adversary, Agatha has no love for her predecessor's offspring, ruthlessly wielding her newly won power while guarding her own dark secrets. Meanwhile, a rivalry between Colette's stepsons—suave Paul and cynical John—is reignited, drawing battle lines among family, friends, and servants. When Frederic suddenly emerges from his self-imposed isolation, he touches off a struggle for patriarchal supremacy that threatens to lay the entire Duvoisin empire to waste.

At the center of the storm is innocent Charmaine, who must come to terms with shattering truths about the family she once believed she knew—and decide who among them deserves her admiration, her derision, her devotion . . . and her heart.

Write Up Regarding Books Decision and Destiny: Colette's Legacy (Colette Trilogy #2)

I didn't realize that this was the second book in a triology when I started it. That said, it was good as a stand alone story. I have since order the 1st and 3rd book and look forward to reading them. The story is set on a fictional island off of Virginia, but not a part of the U.S. in the early 1800's. Charmaine Ryan, a governess to the Duvoisin family is the heroine in this story of horror, mystery, and love.

A very intriging series that takes place on an island called Charmanties.The family is wealthy and has a ton of secrets. Fun series that wraps up all of the loose ends in the final Book 3 neatly.

I immensely enjoyed the 2nd book in this trilogy. There were many mysteries that began to reveal themselves & the reader begins to reach a deeper understanding of each character and their behavior. Though as I read the final page I immediately downloaded book #3 "Forever Waiting" as there are still many unresolved conflicts.

The second in the trilogy is engrossing read and guilty pleasure as the drama sucks you in. It's all about the drama. There is less tension and suspense, but more resolutions and character development. The book builds up to big reveals, both surprising and blatantly obvious, and sets the stage for more to come in the conclusion.

Great Story! Couldn't wait to read book #3
