Takeover + Review Blitz: The Hidden Key of Brooke Sumner by Susan L. Tuttle

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for The Hidden Key of Brooke Sumner by Susan L. Tuttle, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Hidden Key of Brooke Sumner
Series: Treasures of Halstead Manor #3
Author: Susan L. Tuttle
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: March 24, 2026
Genre: Mystery & Suspense / Romance

Will the key unlock more than a vault filled with treasure?

Brooke Sumner has been carefully avoiding Storm Whitlock ever since he betrayed her trust. When he joins Caspar’s mysterious treasure-hunting group, she steps away to focus on her antique shop and keep herself busy.

Then Caspar invites her back for one final assignment, and Brooke is torn. Returning to Halstead Manor to help the team find the second half of a key is intriguing. It also means she’d be working with Storm. But she doesn’t trust his motives, so she reluctantly rejoins to keep him in check.
As they dive into their expedition, Brooke finds her heart softening toward those she’d once held at arm’s length. And is it possible she misunderstood Storm’s betrayal of their friendship?

“In this friends-to-more romance, we get to see the beauty of being known, being loved, and finding the people who want to walk alongside us.” —Toni Shiloh, Christy Award-winning author

My Review

The Hidden Key of Brooke Sumner brings the Treasures of Halstead Manor series to a thrilling conclusion, once again taking Everleigh, Natalie, Brooke, and their entourage on a mind-bending adventure (which I’ll admit I struggled to keep up with at times). Tuttle capitalizes on found family, bodyguard, and friends to enemies to more tropes in this finale, and she held my attention from the opening pages.

Contentious as it was, I loved Storm and Brooke’s relationship and all their banter. The foundation of their childhood friendship shone through in every encounter, and I loved reading about all the ways they came through for each other as children. I will admit I was annoyed that Storm couldn’t reveal everything to Brooke until near the end of the book, but it was necessary to the plot, I suppose.

Tuttle is NOT easy on her characters. The stakes were high from page one, both for Brooke and for Storm in his own issue. Watching Brooke navigate her pain was hard at times, and I wish the faith content could have been a bit more consistent throughout–the end revelation felt a bit too neat and pretty. I liked the message that we can have peace through the storms of life when we put our trust in Jesus, but I don’t think it’s always quite so easy as simply making a choice. It’s a daily battle.

I liked the look at how the foster care system can adversely impact kiddos, especially if they’re passed from home to home and never adopted. As for the romance, the romantic tension between Brooke and Storm felt a bit excessive at times, and Storm really played into it, but I guess their friendship made it feel less bothersome than it otherwise might have been.

It was exciting to finally discover more of Caspar’s story, and the ending was shocking–it definitely tied up some loose threads I’ve been wondering about through the book and series. Overall a satisfactory read, and much cleaner than book 2 (I wasn’t comfortable with fade-to-black between a married couple, which might be fine for others!)

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

The Alchemist

By Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist is a widely celebrated novel that blends simplicity with profound philosophical insight. The story follows Santiago, a young Andalusian shepherd, who dreams of discovering a hidden treasure near the Egyptian pyramids. Motivated by this recurring dream, he embarks on a journey that takes him across deserts, through encounters with mysterious mentors, and into moments of deep self-reflection.

What makes this novel compelling is its fable-like structure. Coelho’s writing is straightforward and accessible, yet it carries symbolic meaning that resonates with readers on a deeper level. Central to the book is the concept of a “Personal Legend,” or one’s true purpose in life. Through Santiago’s experiences, the author emphasizes the importance of listening to one’s heart, recognizing opportunities, and trusting the process of life.

This 208-page book also explores themes of fate, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all things. While some readers may find its philosophical ideas repetitive or overly idealistic, others see this repetition as reinforcing its core message: that the universe conspires to help those who pursue their dreams with sincerity and courage.

We give The Alchemist

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Alchemist is an inspiring and reflective read that encourages readers to examine their own ambitions and fears. Its enduring popularity lies in its ability to speak to a universal human desire—to find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Whether read as a simple adventure story or a spiritual allegory, it leaves a lasting impression on those willing to engage with its message. With 65 million copies sold worldwide…If you’ve read it, read it again. If not…Pick it up…you won’t regret it.

My Review

There was a lot that I loved about this book–the setting, the filming elements, the healthy dating relationship between Sophie and Jake. I also liked the parental involvement (and disappointment and consequences) because I feel YA fiction sometimes likes to ignore that parents exist. The opening hooked me pretty quickly, and the end was WILD. But a few aspects made this book harder to enjoy.

I liked Sophie and Jake and the naturalness of their relationship… the way that they’re mostly friends doing life together with an occasional kiss that honestly didn’t feel sensual at all. I liked the discussion throughout the book about setting boundaries and following them, and the care that Sophie and Jake put into ensuring their relationship remains pure. I also liked how they both had their own interesting pursuits going on outside of their relationship.

I think the delicate balance of realistic teen angst vs. annoying teen angst can be difficult to navigate, and while most of Sophie and Jake’s decisions felt reasonable (despite being foolish at times), there was a lot of relational drama in their friendships. Jon and Rick showing up during filming just to anger Jake felt weird, and I didn’t like Jake’s responses to them for much of the book. For him being such a chill and kind guy, there seemed like such a lack of understanding. And then there was a blowup between best friends about keeping secrets, with your typical “I ALWAYS tell you EVERYTHING. Are we even friends?”, which felt very overly dramatic.

Without having read the prior books in the series, I definitely missed out on some of the buildup and couldn’t fully appreciate the villain reveal, but I did enjoy the mystery elements and the intense scenes at the end. The final reveal, however, felt completely out of left field and honestly disappointing. I feel the author could have either planted clues or picked someone more reasonable.

I did enjoy this book–three stars on Goodreads means I liked it. I just didn’t appreciate some of the elements included.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

Song of Solomon

by Toni Morrison

From reknowned author, Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon explores the search for cultural identity and self-knowledge. Inspired by the African American folktale of enslaved Africans who escape bondage by flying back to Africa, the novel follows Macon “Milkman” Dead, a young man estranged from himself, his family, his community, and his ancestral roots. Though materially comfortable, Milkman is spiritually stagnant and emotionally disconnected. With the guidance of his unconventional aunt Pilate and the influence of his closest friend, Guitar Bains, he embarks on a journey—both physical and spiritual—that ultimately reconnects him to his heritage and awakens his sense of self-worth.

The novel spans more than thirty years and is divided into two distinct sections. Part I (Chapters 1–9) takes place in an unnamed Michigan town, likely Detroit. It traces Milkman’s life from birth to age thirty-two, portraying his aimless existence as he struggles between his father Macon’s materialistic values and Pilate’s grounding in tradition and community. These chapters are layered with flashbacks that reveal the family’s history: after their father was murdered for defending his land, Macon and Pilate fled their home. A later falling-out caused them to separate, and although they eventually settled in the same Michigan town, Macon refuses to acknowledge Pilate, believing she undermines his social status. This section concludes when Milkman decides to leave Michigan to search for what he believes is Pilate’s hidden gold—an inheritance his father insists rightfully belongs to him.

Part II (Chapters 10–15) begins with Milkman’s arrival in Danville, Pennsylvania, where his grandfather once established Lincoln’s Heaven, a thriving farm that became legendary after his violent death. When Milkman fails to find the gold there, he becomes intrigued by stories about his ancestors. His search leads him to the fictional town of Shalimar, Virginia, where he connects with his father’s ancestral community and uncovers the deeper, spiritual meaning of his inheritance. The novel closes with an ambiguous yet symbolic scene centered on Milkman’s final “flight” across Solomon’s Leap, suggesting transcendence, freedom, and reconciliation with his past.

We give Songs of Solomon

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison is a richly layered novel that blends coming-of-age storytelling with themes of identity, heritage, and freedom. Through the journey of Milkman Dead, Morrison explores the complexities of family history and the search for self in a way that feels both deeply personal and culturally expansive. Her prose is lyrical and symbolic, weaving elements of folklore and magical realism into a narrative that remains grounded in emotional truth. The novel challenges readers to consider how the past shapes the present, ultimately delivering a powerful meditation on belonging and self-discovery.
