This was an enjoyable story from beginning to end! I really the Agatha Christie vibes. The different red herrings kept me guessing. I definitely didn’t see the whodunnit reveal coming! I ended up listening to the audiobook version. I really enjoyed both of the narrators takes on their characters. I would definitely read this one again!

You know when you pick up a book by Amanda Dykes, you are going to be swept away into a beautiful story. Her writing is lyrical and brings her story to life. Her characters are so realistic and deep. Mercy and Rusty are simply amazing characters. They faced hard situations. I loved the second chance thread. This story was simply beautiful. It’s a must read!

For as long as Meg Dawson can remember, she’s been able to see ghosts. As much as Meg views it as a gift, she’s paid a price her ability; people often find her odd and quiet. Still, she wouldn’t trade her capabilities for anything because they brought her Ripley, her best friend. Having died in the car accident that killed Meg’s mom, Ripley sees it as her duty-after-death to watch over Meg and make sure she has a happy life.

Pebble Cove is not the sleepy coastal town Rosemary remembers from her childhood. Ghosts are everywhere, and only she can see them. When Rosemary Woodmere inherits her estranged grandmother's Victorian tea house, she doesn’t expect to also inherit a ghost named Asher from the 1920s. Things get weirder for Rosemary. Her grandma was supposedly murdered. A body washes up on the beach, and the police suspect her of the man's murder. She's trying to navigate her newfound ability to talk to ghosts. And she doesn't even know the first thing about tea.

What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured commonplace book. Brought from England on Eleanor’s fateful voyage to the New World, her book was passed down through the fifteen generations of daughters who followed as they came of age.

DNF
Reviewed: 09-26-22
I was excited to read this one. The description sounded good and it was on a really good sale on audible. I figured I would give it a shot. I ended up DNF’ing this one. It seemed to drag for me. I lost interest about halfway through it. The narrator was really good though.

Dreams are precious commodities in the Blue Ridge Mountains of 1918, and Laurel McAdams is attempting to make hers come true. But sometimes, life in the mountains has a way of squandering dreams. Having failed his British father again by being unable to fight in the Great War, Jonathan Taylor joins his uncle's missionary endeavors as a teacher in a two-room schoolhouse in Appalachia, but nothing prepares him for the rugged wilderness, narrow-minded natives, and...Laurel McAdams.

The story is good, narration not so much
Reviewed: 04-26-21
This was my first time reading a book by this author. I tried the audiobook. While the story was very descriptive and intriguing, I was pulled out of it by the narrator’s voice. I’m not sure how to describe it other than that she sounded too sweet and happy for this kind of story. I really enjoyed Abby and Jim and reading their story! I liked this book more than I thought I would since this isn’t my go to time period. I would definitely recommend the book, but not the audiobook. I wouldn’t mind going back and reading the paperback for myself.
