THE HOUSE BETWEEN TIDES by Sarah Maine

Kate Morton meets Daphne du Maurier in this atmospheric debut about a woman who discovers the century-old remains of a murder victim on her family’s Scottish estate

Following the death of her last living relative, Hetty Deveraux leaves her strained relationship behind in London and returns to Muirlan, her ancestral home in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. Hetty has every intention of renovating and reselling it as a hotel, but before she can dive headfirst into the repairs, century-old remains are discovered by the house’s caretaker, with few physical clues left to identify the body. Only one thing is certain: he or she did not die of natural causes.

Hungry for answers, Hetty sets out to learn more about the body and the house’s owners from the 1910s, including her ancestor, Theo Blake, an acclaimed painter who returned to Muirlan to paint the local birds, and his new bride, Beatrice, who fell for Theo’s brilliance, even as she grew increasingly disturbed by his fascination with a local boy.

Following whispered rumors and a handful of leads, Hetty learns that something ruptured in the Blakes’s marriage, forcing Beatrice to leave the country and Theo to withdraw from society. The exact cause has never been known, but as Hetty studies the paintings produced by Theo during his short-lived marriage, she uncovers secrets that will reverberate throughout the community—and lead her to the identity of the long-hidden body.

About the Author

Sarah Maine was born in England and emigrated to Canada with her family at the age of ten. A small northern Ontario community was home for the next two years before the family moved south, and Sarah went to high school in Toronto. She returned to England to study archaeology, stayed on to do research and work, married there and has two sons. 
Books were always important. She grew up on a diet of Arthur Ransome and Robert Louis Stevenson but also the classics, Jane Austen and the Brontés and, of course, Daphne du Maurier - but now enjoys a wide range of contemporary fiction. 
The House between Tides will be published in 2016, followed, in 2017, by Beyond the Wild River. A third book, Ullaness, is work in progress.

My Thoughts

The House Between Tides is a story that has a story line is about a house and it's past inhabitants that connects with the present day. Hetty Deveraux is left a house located in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, which is a series of islands, after a distant relative dies. She has plans to renovate and turn the house into a hotel. Unbeknownst to her the house is a crumbling mess and will cost a fortune to rebuild. 

Upon arriving at this house that can only be accessed when the tide is out, Hetty realizes just how difficult her intentions are. There has been a body found among the rubble that appears to have been there a long time. Not only will there need to be massive renovations but the locals do not want her to be there. They want things left as they are and let the sea claim the house. What is the identity of the body and what is the story?

Theo Blake brought his wife, Beatrice, to the house around 1910 as newlyweds. Theo is a painter who is famous for his work but is now chronicling the local bird population with paintings. He has a local man assisting him with this project. Beatrice is often left to her own devices as her husband is so wrapped up in what he is doing that he neglects and seems to push his bride away. She finds companionship with the local man.

Hetty slowly uncovers the secrets of the Blake's, the small community and its inhabitants all at the same time trying to figure out exactly what she should do with the property. Developers are pushing her one way but her heart is pulling her in another. 

The House Between Tides reminds me of books written by Phyllis Whitney, Victoria Holt or Mary Stewart in that they all have the same style of writing, moody, dark and atmospheric stories that involve romance and mystery where the male characters are often brooding and the women are bound to fall in love them in spite of their moodiness and mystery.

I enjoyed this story and hoped for happy endings, but as sometimes happens, that is not always the case. A definite 5 star for me.

I received a copy of the book for review purposes.

Cracked to Death (A Webb’s Glass Shop Mystery) by Cheryl Hollon Spotlight! @CherylHollon

Cozy Mystery
3rd in Series
Mass Market Paperback: 320 pages
Publisher: Kensington (June 28, 2016)
ISBN-13: 978-1617737640

Synopsis

When a treasure hunt leads to deadly plunder, it’s up to glass shop owner Savannah Webb and her trusty investigative posse to map out the true motives of a killer . . .

It’s the dog days of summer in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Webb’s Glass Shop proprietor Savannah Webb has an eco-friendly plan to help locals escape the heat–a recyclable bottle-crafting workshop taught by reticent store manager Amanda Blake. Turns out, the class is a bigger smash than expected, thanks in part to a pair of staggeringly old bottles brought in by snorkeler Martin Lane . . .

Linked to a storied pirate shipwreck, the relics definitely pique Savannah’s interest. But intrigue turns to shock when Martin’s lifeless body washes ashore the next morning, another glass artifact tucked in his dive bag. With cell phone records connecting Amanda to the drowning, Savannah must voyage through unchartered territory to exonerate her colleague and capture the twisted criminal behind Martin’s death . . .

Title: Storm Wolf

Author:  Stephen Morris

To Be Published:   September 1st, 2016

Genre:   Fantasy

Synopsis:

He was given the wolf-magic to save his neighbors; now it drives him to kill them.

“LIBAHUNT!” Alexei breaks the terms of the wolf-magic he inherited from his grandfather and loses the ability to control the shapeshifting. His grandfather’s magical wolf-pelt was meant to protect their rural village in 1880s Estonia by fighting the terrible storms in the sky but instead, it drives Alexei to kill, slaughtering his neighbors, his friends —even his family. Heartbroken, Alexei flees his home in search of an enchanter to free him from this hideous curse. Wandering through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Bohemia, he encounters the Master of Wolves, who forces Alexei to terrorize and murder the local farmers, and the infamous Frau Bertha who traps all those who anger her by turning them into wolves. Will Alexei find a sorceror who can free him?

The Impending Possession of Scarlet Wakebridge-Rosé by S.L.Sabovec Cover Reveal! @Saboviec

Welcome to the cover reveal for S. L. Saboviec's The Impending Possession of Scarlet Wakebridge-Rosé, an urban fantasy stand-alone novel set in the world of her Fallen Redemption books. But that’s not all—after you check out the cover, we’ve included details on how to enter an Epic Giveaway of a $1,200 Amazon gift card!

tIPoSWR cover is by Clarissa of Yocla Designs, and you’re going to love it.

Scarlet Wakebridge-Rosé, busy executive and less-than-stellar mother and wife, has a problem that only an exorcist can solve. Except she’s not precisely a devout Catholic parishioner any longer, and to gain assistance from the Church means telling a whopping lie of omission.

Fortunately, she discovers Father Angelo Ambrosio, whose commitment to helping the afflicted means he’s willing to overlook the things Scarlet prefers to keep hidden. Unfortunately, his sordid past keeps him under a microscope with the bishop, who’s not so liberal in his views.

But the demon harassing Scarlet is relentless. It makes its motives clear: in a previous life, she struck a bargain, promising it her body on her fiftieth birthday. Now, she and Angelo must unravel the mystery surrounding her forgotten past in order to stop the possession by next week or risk losing her to the depths of Hell forever.

This stand-alone novel set in the Fallen Redemption universe extends the series to modern day. Enter a world where humans reincarnate, demons interfere in daily life, and the currents of fate carry us all to our destinies.

THE REAL YOU by RM Alexander

The Perfect Neighbors by Sarah Pekkanen Review! @sarahpekkanen

Book Details Paperback: 352 pages Publisher: Washington Square Press (July 5, 2016) Language: English ISBN-10: 150110649X ISBN-13: 978-1501106491

Bucolic Newport Cove, where spontaneous block parties occur on balmy nights and all of the streets are named for flowers, is proud of its distinction of being named one the top twenty safest neighborhoods in the US.

It’s also one of the most secret-filled.

Kellie Scott has just returned to work after a decade of being a stay-at-home mom. She’s adjusting to high heels, scrambling to cook dinner for her family after a day at the office—and soaking in the dangerous attention of a very handsome, very married male colleague. Kellie’s neighbor Susan Barrett begins every day with fresh resolutions: she won’t eat any carbs. She’ll go to bed at a reasonable hour. And she’ll stop stalking her ex-husband and his new girlfriend. Gigi Kennedy seems to have it all together—except her teenage daughter has turned into a hostile stranger and her husband is running for Congress, which means her old skeletons are in danger of being brought into the light.

Then a new family moves to this quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac. Tessa Campbell seems friendly enough to the other mothers if a bit reserved. Then the neighbors notice that no one is ever invited to Tessa’s house. And soon, it becomes clear Tessa is hiding the biggest secret of all.

"Fans of Jennifer Weiner and Emily Giffin will strongly appreciate this rising star in women's fiction." - Library Journal.
Internationally bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen's newest book is THE PERFECT NEIGHBORS. She is also the author of THINGS YOU WON'T SAY, CATCHING AIR, THE BEST OF US, THE OPPOSITE OF ME, SKIPPING A BEAT, and THESE GIRLS. Sarah's linked free short estories, published by Simon&Schuster exclusively for ereaders, are titled "All is Bright," and "Love, Accidentally."

Sarah is the mother of three young boys, which explains why she writes part of her novels at Chuck E. Cheese. Sarah penned her first book, Miscellaneous Tales and Poems, at the age of 10. When publishers failed to jump upon this literary masterpiece (hey, all the poems rhymed!) Sarah followed up by sending them a sternly-worded letter on Raggedy Ann stationery. Sarah still has that letter and carries it to New York every time she has meetings with her publisher, as a reminder that dreams do come true. At least some dreams - Brad Pitt has yet to show up on her doorstep wearing nothing but a toolbelt and asking if she needs anything fixed. So maybe it's only G-rated dreams that come true.

Her website is www.sarahpekkanen.com and please friend her on Facebook and Twitter @sarahpekkanen!

(Note from Sarah: Here on Goodreads, my policy is to only review books I really like. If I don't enjoy the book, I won't write about it - it's just my personal policy.)

My Thoughts

How well do you know your neighbors, really know them? It is highly unlikely that you know all there is to know about them. Everyone carries secrets and baggage along with them. Infidelities, drugs, secret drinking, even a criminal. You just never know. Human nature being what it is, people will only share so much with each other. That is the premise in The Perfect Neighbors.

Kelli Scott, Susan Barrett, Gigi Kennedy and new arrival Tess all live in the perfect cul-de-sac. This community even has the Newport Cove Listserv, where community members can email to each other their complaints or news. I thought that these little snippets at the beginning of the chapters added a bit of humor to the story.

Kelli has gone back to work after being a stay at home mom. Working in a real estate office alongside a handsome coworker challenges who she is and her relationship with her husband.

Susan is dealing with her ex-husband, Randall, and his new soon to be wife, Daphne. Susan and Daphne had been good friends with Susan but at first, Susan did not know that Daphne was the one having an affair with her husband and Daphne did not know that Susan was Randall's wife. Susan has taken to lurking outside Randall's home To add fuel to the flame, Daphne turns up pregnant.

Gigi's husband is running for Congress, they have a daughter who has started hanging around with a bad crowd, becoming more moody and angry with her mother. Dealing with a political campaign has its own set of headaches.

Then there is the new neighbor, Tessa. Her secret can bring about the ruin of everything that Tessa holds dear. A secret so horrible that Tessa is very withdrawn from her neighbors. So does socialize a bit but holds herself back from the others, not wanting to get too close.

The Perfect Neighbors is a very good book, each chapter is told by each of the four women letting the reader get inside the lives of each one of them. We see behind the facade that each of the women have so carefully put up. I thought it was a great page turner. I read it in a few sittings. I highly recommend it.

I received a copy of the book for review purposes.
