Special thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I picked this up because the cover made me think it would be spooky. It had somewhat spooky elements, but it mostly wasn’t scary at all.
The writing reminded me a lot of a Diane Chamberlain book. It took place in two different times and switched back and forth between the two.
I did love that the main character, Allison, was older. She wasn’t 25, which is unusual in this genre. Allison is still reeling after a bad divorce and she goes to Opal Beach for a quiet winter, not expecting to start a murder investigation.
I liked Maureen, though I wish we had gotten to know a little bit more about her childhood. We know her mom was a drug addict, but that’s pretty much it.
The supernatural aspect felt slightly misplaced in a book like this.
I don’t have a ton to say about this book, it was okay. Not great, not horrible. I don’t think it’s very memorable, but I didn’t hate it.
