What is this book about?
1874
A battered woman awakens atop a forgotten gravesite by Lake Superior’s southern shore. Identified only by the locket around her neck inscribed with the name Rebecca, she seeks refuge with an elderly lighthouse keeper. But as Rebecca struggles to remember who she is, she finds herself haunted by the lingering memories of Annabel, a mysterious woman who perished in the lake’s unforgiving waves years earlier. With the spirit of Annabel seemingly reawakened, and an unknown adversary on the hunt to silence Rebecca once and for all, more is at stake than reclaiming her own memories. Rebecca must reclaim Annabel’s as well.
Present Day
Author and researcher Shea Radclyffe escapes to the lighthouse outside a historic Michigan mining town to seek clarity about her failing marriage. Instantly drawn to the lighthouse’s landlord, Shea contends with the legend of Annabel’s vengeful ghost and a superstitious community that has buried the truth about a current murder. As the secrets harbored around Annabel’s lighthouse unravel, Shea must navigate a fight between torn loyalty, self-discovery, and the haunting forces of love.
My review:
Filled with mystery and suspense, this story had me staying up past my bedtime to get answers. I really liked that one of the couples was married and struggling with their definitions of love. It emphasized how our perspectives are clouded by our expectations and sometimes we need to step back and view people through God’s eyes. The legend and lore surrounding Annabel’s ghost was deliciously spooky. This story doesn’t sugar-coat the evil of man, but it also reminds us to hold onto love and hope. Recommend.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Page turning mystery
What I didn’t like about this book:
The end was great closure, but sad
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Interesting characters, gripping suspense, page turning mystery, and spooky to boot. This is a standalone story.
