Holy Moly! What a gripping, addictive, and shocking ride! The Cottage by the Sea grabbed my attention from the very first page and never let go! I had a very difficult time putting this book down as I was glued to this jaw dropping page turner!
Starting over after a horrible loss when her husband and best friend were killed in a car accident, Harper has taken the plunge with online dating. It’s been two years of grief, wondering why her friend and husband were together in the car, but Harper if finally ready to dip her toe in the dating pool. After going on a few dates, strange things begin to happen – very strange and uncomfortable things…
Wowza! Keri Beevis has wowed me yet again! I enjoyed how Harper was tentative about dating again after the death of her husband and friend. It’s hard to put yourself out there and I thought the author did a great job depicting this. From the dates to the feeling of being watched, I was fully invested. I found my heart beating a little faster along with Harper when she felt she was being watched or if someone had come onto her property.
This book had enough tension, dread, suspense, and secrets to make my head spin. There were also plenty of twists and turns along the way that had me wondering who could be trusted, and how things would turn out. I had fun trying to narrow down my suspect as I kept changing my mind about characters. I enjoyed getting Harpers’ POV as well as the person toying with her. Getting the sinister creepy character’s POV provided some eerie and creepy vibes to the book as well.
If you have not read a book by Keri Beevis before this is a great book to start with. This is my 8th book by the author, and she never disappoints. I know that I am in for a wonderfully written great psychological thriller when I pick up one of her books.
Well thought out, dark, tension filled and pulse pounding! Highly Recommend!
