My Review: **I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review**

Oh. My. Gosh. I think I need a vacation to coastal California after reading that. By the end of the first chapter, I could practically smell the salty ocean air. The mystery was beautifully written, with twists and turns every time I thought I had figured something out.

My Manicure: Oh my gosh this was nearly impossible to photograph. Either the holo wouldn't show and my skin tone was crazy, or the holo showed but was crazy blurry. This picture had the best balance of in focus and holo bling. I chose a raven/feather theme for two reasons. The first reason is because Kelly chose a raven before she left home. The other reason - well, you'll just have to read the book to find out. I started with 3 coats of ILNP Mega (X). I nearly blinded myself with the holo when I topcoated it - it is seriously that intense. Then I stamped the ravens with Winstonia plate W205, and the feathers with Bundle Monster BM-419. All stamping was done with Sinful Colors Black on Black.
