ARC Review: Uncovered by Emily Snow

Uncovered

By Emily Snow

Synopsis

The plan was simple—figure out what role she played in my father’s death and expose her to the world.

*This romance novel contains explicit content and is not advised for readers under 18*

My name is Lizzie Connelly, and I have it all. The gorgeous apartment. The new job most women would rip out their own souls for—working for Margaret Emerson at Emerson & Taylor. I have one of those lives you’ve always dreamt about, the kind you only see on HBO. But, the thing is, that life is a lie. A façade.

It all started with one call. “Everything you know about your story—your father’s story—is a lie. It’s up to you to uncover everything.” One call, and I turned my world upside down to dig my way into Margaret’s life—the woman who I’d never laid eyes on until recently. My stepmother who took everything after my father died fourteen years ago.

But here’s another thing: simplicity doesn’t exist, and my plans are flawed from the beginning because I never anticipated Oliver. Sexy, too smart for his own good, and infuriating, he’s the one person who could blow my plans to uncover Margaret. She’s his mother, and in another life, that would have made him my stepbrother.

I want to pretend that none of that matters, that I can simply finish what I came to do without sparing him a second glance and another thought.

Like I said, though, there’s no such thing as simplicity.

My real name is Gemma Emerson.

And this is my story.

Tracey’s Review

Gemma Emerson’s life could be divided into two parts, ‘Before’ and ‘After.’ ‘Before’ was the life she’d created for herself in Las Vegas, the one that began when she lost all that was dear to her and she was left on her own. ‘After’ is her new life, the one that started after the phone call that changed her life and made her question everything that she’d believed for the last fourteen years.

When Gemma receives a phone call from an unknown source, telling her that the facts surrounding the death of her father are not what they seem, she cannot rest until she uncovers the truth. With the help of Pen, her best friend and hacker extraordinaire, Gemma recreates herself as Lizzie Connelly, leaves Las Vegas for Los Angeles, and sets out to figure out what really happened all those years ago.

I am a huge fan of Emily Snow. She just gets more amazing with each book she writes, and she has totally blown it out of the water with Uncovered. This story is unlike any that she’s written so far. Lizzie’s strength and determination in figuring out the truth behind the lies that she was told by her stepmother, Margaret Emerson, make for a read that I could NOT put down. The plot is fresh, fast-paced, and interesting, and the characters are well-written, and add so much to the story. Pen, Linc, Oliver (oh, my gosh, Oliver!), and even Margaret and Finley, bring so much color to the story, and are all great foils for Lizzie. And, about Oliver: he is one of the hottest book boyfriends I’ve had the pleasure to get to know lately, and his interactions with Lizzie are by turn off-the-charts hot and sweet and sexy.

If you haven’t read Uncovered yet, I suggest that you move it to the top of your TBR, and make a date to read it soon; You will not be sorry!
