Who says you can never go home again? That is exactly what Lo Bailey does in The Storm. Not only does she come home to St. Medard’s Bay, but she brings with her writer, August Fletcher. Not only is the town preparing for a hurricane, but now it is preparing for drama. Lo was accused of killing her older love, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during a Hurricane in 1984. Lo is looking to clear her name, but will she be successful?????
What really happened to Landon Fitzroy? There is a storm brewing, long tongues are wagging, secrets and waiting to be discovered, and memories will bubble to surface. Welp! I thought I would love this book. But unfortunately, this book failed to meet my expectations. What worked was the atmosphere in this book along with the setting. I also enjoyed how the author used various forms of media in this book. I thought this was very well done and well thought out. I found the mystery interesting and yet I was blown away by it. In the beginning I wanted something – anything to happen. The book did pick up for me in the second half as more became known and things became more dramatic and tense. However, the twists and revels were not enough to fully win me over to this book. I put this in my liked but didn’t love category. This wont stop me from reading more books by this author in the future.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
