Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. HTML:

Enchanting, mysterious, and deeply romantic, The Lighthouse follows a young woman's breathtaking journey far from home to discover where she truly belongs.

Something strange is happening in Seabrook. The town's lighthouse-dormant for over thirty years and famously haunted-has inexplicably started shining, and its mysterious glow is sparking feverish gossip throughout the spooked community.

Amy Tucker is only visiting for the night and has no plans to get caught up in the hysteria, but that changes when she meets Ryan, the loyal, hard-working son of a ranch owner who lives on the outskirts of town.

Their chance encounter turns into an unforgettable weekend, and against the backdrop of the lighthouse-obsessed town, the two of them forge a deep connection, opening their hearts, baring their souls, and revealing secrets long kept hidden.

But as they grow closer, and as the lighthouse glows ever brighter, a startling discovery about Ryan leaves Amy questioning everything she thought she knew. To uncover the truth about her new friend, Amy will need to enter Seabrook's ominous tower, where waiting inside she will not only find the reason why fate has brought them together... but a shocking secret that will change the course of their lives forever.

"...an astonishing, unputdownable debut... the best novel I have read this year." - NZ Booklovers

"...smart, suspenseful and briskly paced work... Parker offers plenty of heart, including messages about how love can conquer the unknown." - Kirkus Reviews

"Bloody amazing." - Tina Shaw, author of The Children's Pond

"A meditative look at moving through grief." - Booklife

"The emotional arc is strong and clear, not forgotten in the twists and turns of an ambitious story." - Kete Books

A lovely book. An atmospheric setting and enjoyable magical realism. Very sweet, relaxing, and enjoyable.

The narrator's Canadian-ish accent was a bit distracting, however, for a tale that takes place in Oregon. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an online arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book, the writing painted such a clear world and I really loved the portrayal of Amy, the heartbreak felt real. The language was very descriptive, I was hoping there would be a little more mystery.
Overall 4 stars and Definitely worth the read. ( )

Amy is struggling with the death of her mother. And Her dad just doesn’t know how to deal with it. So, they head out for a short trip hoping to reconnect. Amy has a chance encounter with Ryan and it changes her whole world!

Ryan is an all around good guy! He is struggling to keep the family ranch going after his father’s stroke. It is so much harder than he ever thought possible. He absolutely stole my heart. And Amy is so sad and in desperate need for help that Ryan ends up being her saving grace in more ways than one!

I am all over the place about this novel. I swear…I cried, I laughed and I wanted to throw something. I am still so attached to all these characters! Ryan is my absolute favorite…and I do not want to give anything away…but you better have tissues ready!

The narrator, Braden Wright, is one of my all time favorites. He does an excellent job with all the voices and emotions.

Need a good story which gives you all the feels…THIS IS IT! GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( )
