Blurb 

Struggling to come to terms with losing her mother, Anna embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about her family and her mother’s hidden past.

And while a letter, a photograph and the Old Lodge lead her back to the Isle of Skye, Anna is shocked to discover the island she had holidayed on so often as a child has been quietly keeping the secrets her mother had left unsaid.

Hamish, handsome, quiet, and moody, seems unnerved by Anna’s presence. Ben, a city slicker, out of place and determined to help Anna in her quest, proves invaluable, but is his presence on the island merely coincidental?

Meanwhile, a newly discovered family member may not be a cause for celebration.

Anna must find the strength and determination needed to fight for what is truly hers, all while wondering if her newly mapped out future is what she truly wants.

A riveting and unmissable novel about new beginnings and the power of love over loss.

My Thoughts

This is book 2 in The Maren Bay series.

This is a short read which I managed to read in 1 sitting as it was really good. I did not read book 1 but suggest you do as I did feel like I was missing some crucial points to the book.  It appears the book continues from book 1 and Ann's now new story. 

The author did a good job in developing the characters in a short space, Anna's story is strong and she is now on healing journey whilst trying to uncover some truths. Family and friendships and those around her play a big part which makes a big impact to the plot. 

I really liked how the author touched on generational trauma and the way it can impact you, even after second chances were given a few times!

The story goes through mystery, intrigue, spot of romance and lots of drama which is perfect in this moment. The perfect back drop of The Isle of Skye adds that extra atmosphere and rounds the book off. 

I really need to read book 1 now and gain more insight to Anna!!
