BOOK REVIEW: The Vanished Bride by Bella Ellis @RowanColeman @BerkleyPub #TheVanishedBride #bookreview
I participated in an absolutely DELIGHTFUL buddy read of The Vanished Bride over the past few weeks. Are you a fan of mysteries? Women empowerment? Historical fiction based around read people or events? The Bronte sisters? If any of these are a yes, pick up a copy of this book!
Emily, Charlotte, and Anne Bronte live a quiet life, spending their time exploring their passion to write. When a young wife and mother is seemingly murdered just a few miles from their home, the sisters set out to investigate.
Elizabeth Chester, second wife of Robert Chester, has disappeared, leaving behind two small children and a large amount of blood in her place. Chester’s first wife also died under strange circumstance, leading to some suspicion about what happened to Elizabeth.
While Anne and their brother Branwell investigate inside of the house, Charlotte and Emily work the community, gathering information. The more they learn about the events surrounding Elizabeth’s disappearance, the more suspicious they become…
I loved this reimagining of the Bronte sisters in their younger years solving mysteries together. The dialogue on what women (particularly women of a certain class) were expected and able to do at the time was so interesting. I loved the alternating narrators as well, getting to know each sister a bit more and what their strengths are in this powerhouse crime-solving trio.
Their brother Branwell is a different story.. I liked the inclusion of him in this novel as a contrast to the Bronte sisters. Branwell is part of quite a scandal. In contrast, Emily, Charlotte, and Anne live a quiet, studious life. And yet, being male, Branwell has so much advantage over the sisters. The biggest strife they cause (besides the danger they get themselves into by solving this crime) is that they are approaching an age where they should be focused on getting married. As a non-spoiler for the real lives of the Bronte sisters, only Charlotte ended up married and it was in the last year of her life. It is also, in my opinions, the least interesting thing about her!
I loved the feminist themes in this book. A few that I buddy read with thought they were overdone, but I didn’t feel that way at all. I actually felt that among the three sisters, the discussions on women were so enlightening and informative for the time they lived in. Lest we not forget that all three originally published under male pseudonyms. Female writers, of course, not being taken seriously at the time.
The mystery was intriguing nearly right from the start. The idea of what seemed to be a murder but with no body was fascinating. There are a number of avenues this could take—did someone hide the body? Is she still alive? If so, whose blood is that? By the last quarter of the novel, I could scarcely put it down!
A truly engaging historical mystery that delighted me in every way!
Thank you to Berkley for my copy. Opinions are my own.

Due to a fraudulent cryptocurrency investing platform, my spouse and I lost $2.3 million worth of Bitcoin. We noticed a chance to invest in cryptocurrencies a few months ago with the potential to generate enormous returns. Without realizing it was all a fraud to steal our money, we placed a significant portion of our business and retirement funds on this platform after contacting a broker online who was posing as an account manager for a forex trading company. We tried to withdraw money for weeks, but this broker kept asking for more, until we were so indebted and broke that it felt like we were going to die. Luckily for us, we came across an article about Wizard James Recovery. We weren’t in a rush to get in touch with them, but we did some research on their offerings and discovered that they could help us get our money back from these crooks. We got in touch with Wizard James, and within 72 hours, James was able to retrieve everything. This company thoroughly investigated the information we gave them and made sure that every penny was returned to us. It felt unbelievable that they were able to retrieve everything we had lost. We are extremely thankful of Wizard James Recovery’s assistance and are sharing this with anyone who might benefit from their services.

The times have changed. Every day, technology is changing. There are recent developments that can identify the platform or exchange to which a bitcoin address belongs in addition to tracking it down. It is widely acknowledged that this is a significant step in the recovery of coins. Thanks to (wizardjamesrecovery @usa.com) and his crew, I was able to recover all of my money from this fraudulent binary options company after losing over $300,000 to binary options in this fake investment platform. If you need to retrieve your finds, you can mail them.

I was casually browsing on my phone when a strange link popped up. Without thinking much, I clicked it, and within moments, all my Ethereum (ETH) tokens, worth around $221,000, vanished. It happened so fast that I thought my phone had been hacked. I quickly checked my laptop, but the damage was already done. My wallet was empty. I felt numb, shocked, and completely lost.
Desperate, I reached out to a friend who’s been in the crypto space for years. He immediately suggested I contact Morphohack, a recovery team he trusted. I sent them all the details I had, hoping for a miracle.
Morphohack quickly discovered that I had been targeted with a phishing link that drained my entire portfolio. But the real surprise? They said they could recover it. True to their word, within 48 hours, they retrieved everything I lost. I couldn’t believe it, what felt like a hopeless situation turned around, thanks to Morphohack.You can reach them via email(Morphohack@cyberservices . com)

WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY SERVICE SAVED MY DAY:
Had WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY not intervened, I would have lost everything I owned. When my long-used Ledger Nano X crashed, I opened a case with them. This occurred when I attempted to move a particular UXTO via coin control after updating the Ledger’s firmware and encountered a frontend error. During that time, network problems caused the Ledger services to become overloaded, so my only choice was to try again later. I discovered that all of my Bitcoin was rooted to unidentified addresses just as I was starting over. I made the error of failing to define the UTXO chain before network overload, which resulted in severe burns. For days, this error devastated me. I chose to get in touch with WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY SERVICE after reading a number of reviews and suggestions on Google and Yelp while commuting back and forth. We clicked right away. They linked my funds to many CEX wallets during the diagnosis and reclamation phase, and all of my assets were eventually recovered after seven business days. In addition to retrieving my possessions, I am grateful to this productive team for their professionalism during my time of need. The WIZARD JAMES team was really amazing; they kept me informed at every stage and were professionally tech-savvy enough to prevent my loss. Chatting with WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY SERVICE is the best course of action for prompt recovery of forgotten passwords and key phrases, compromised wallets, and lost money with fraudulent financial brokers. As a recovery company, I strongly recommend JAMES.

I thought it was gone forever, until I found Morphohack. Their team didn’t promise miracles, but they acted fast. They traced the stolen Bitcoin through several wallets and found it sitting in an exchange. I couldn’t believe it when they told me they’d recovered it. Within weeks, most of my crypto was back in my hands. It was like getting a second chance. I’ve learned to take security seriously now, hardware wallets, two-factor authentication, everything.

My name is Michael, and I want to share how Astraweb helped me recover a large portion of my stolen crypto after I was scammed by a fake exchange. I had invested $87,000 into what looked like a professional trading platform. The site had a sleek design, live charts, and even fake reviews that made everything seem legitimate. But the moment I tried to withdraw my funds, everything went silent the support vanished, and so did my crypto. I felt sick. That money represented years of savings. I started researching recovery services and came across Astraweb. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the first contact, they were professional, responsive, and discreet. Their team immediately got to work, tracing the blockchain activity tied to my transaction. Within hours, they had mapped out a network of shell wallets used by the scammers. Thanks to their fast action and legal partnerships, Astraweb managed to freeze $62,000 of my stolen funds before it was laundered through crypto mixers. Not only did they recover a major portion of my investment they also helped shut down the fraudulent exchange and provided evidence to support legal action against those involved. I’m beyond grateful. Without Astraweb, I would have lost everything. They didn’t just promise results they delivered. You Can Reach Out To Them If You Are Having Similar Issues:

To anyone feeling trapped by bad credit, I truly understand. My name is Rose Anderson,, i felt like my financial life was a constant uphill battle. My credit score stocked at a dismal 512, tried applying for a better apartment and a reliable car but was met with rejection. It felt like past mistakes were forever holding me back. I tried other credit repair companies, only to have them take my money. I was beyond skeptical and convinced my credit was a lost cause, a permanent black mark. But then, a friend, who knew my struggles, urged me to try JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP. My guard was up, but something about their genuine approach felt different. They didn’t make empty promises; they offered a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to my situation. For the first time, I felt understood, not judged. They meticulously went through my credit report, identifying every derogatory mark, old medical bills, late payments, even a forgotten collection. They didn’t just dispute them; they worked tirelessly to make sure it was off, the results were astounding, just within few days JERRY LINK CREDIT GROUP cleared all the report and my score soared from 512 to an amazing 802. THANKS. you can reach them via; jerrylinkcreditgroup@gmail.com. They are just what you need. And thank me later

Good Morning! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada.

The Metronet credit solution has made a huge impact in my life. When I was in college, I unfortunately had to rely on my credit card to help me with my expenses. By the time I finished college, I was unable to pay back a lot of those debts. As a result of that I ended up with a very low credit score and quite a few collections, so I sought out METRONET CREDIT SOLUTION. They were able to make a huge impact on my credit score. It went from the 500’s to the 700’s in a couple weeks. I couldn’t believe it. With that help, I was able to do so much more, lower the interest rate on financing my car, and to get approved for a great travel credit card which has really helped us while planning our wedding now. It’s been absolutely wonderful and I’m appreciative because I didn’t believe this process. Recommended as promised, you can reach out to them via:metronetcreditsoluton@gmail.com..
