*I received a free review copy of Heartbreak Bay. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*
Heartbreak Bay brings more of everything I've come to expect from the Stillhouse Lake novels. There is more suspense. There is more heartache. There is more danger. There is more friendship. There is more love. Most of all, there's more hope - even when everything appears hopeless.
Caine is a master at this, and I'm sure she's spent a lot of time on research. Everything just sounds so very true. I firmly believe in Gwen, Sam, Lanny, Connor, Vee, Kez, Javier and all the other characters. They're all extremely well fleshed out. And in Heartbreak Bay, I got the pleasure of some new points of view as well - and this made me a very happy reader.
The way this story unfolds is like a red thread inside of a puzzle inside of one of those boxes that's impossible to open. There's always something going on that I couldn't fully get a grasp on, and thus, my excitement while reading was never ending.
You should pre-order this book right now! It's excellent, and one of my favorite reads of 2020, as well as one of my all time favorite reads.
