The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Remi and his friends are smart and savvy. Having grown up together, they spent their latter high school years designing a video game, which has kept the group tightly knit into adulthood, where they each have found success and money in their careers. But witnessing a tragic event before heading off to college hangs over their heads and continues to threaten their lives and the lives of those they love.
Audri is Remi’s best friend’s younger sister. Her knack for creative pursuits in jewelry making doesn’t pay the bills, so she works in marketing while trying to launch her jewelry career. But, a harassing boss is making her life miserable, until she fights back; the problem is her boss is the company owner’s son.
Audri has admired Remi since they were younger, but Remi seems to only like detached arrangements with the women he sees, and she’s a romantic. When they reconnect after Remi returns to his roots to acquire a new company, which just happens to be the same one Audri is working at, the two find themselves together more often and sparks ignite. But, neither are sure if it’s a good idea to pursue something together, and both must overcome their pasts if things will ever work out between them.
This book has a little bit of everything in it – loads of drama, mystery, romance, tragedy, shocking revelations, and a contrast of family dynamics. It’s a real page-turner and one of those books you’ll stay up too late reading to find out what happens next.
