Courtney Vail's SAPPHIRE REIGN is a gritty novel that kept me turning pages. Majesty has been through hell twice; first ten years ago when she was tangled up in someone else's twisted murder plot, and more recently when she dealt with her young daughter's death.  Now her marriage is on the rocks, and when grief drives her on a late night visit to her daughter's grave, a strange encounter leads her to believe her daughter Mikki could still be alive.  How, and who is responsible? Majesty will stop at nothing to find the truth.I don't often reread books, but I totally enjoyed reading SAPPHIRE REIGN a second time, picking up on even more details about these intriguing characters.  Crystal is young girl held captive by awful people who don't think twice about torturing children to get what they want. Maj's teenage sister Skye has problems of her own coping with her boyfriend and dangerous high school drama. Vivian, Maj's BFF she suspects of having an affair with her husband, has her hands full with a gifted daughter who knows things she shouldn't.  And there are a few ghosts from the past who pop up to knock Maj's life into a whirlwind of confusion as she tries to find her daughter Mikki.This is an awesome mystery/thriller!
