About the Book
Seagrass Pier is the perfect place for Elin to hide from a killer,
but an old love's ability to see her true heart could be her undoing.
When Elin Summerall contracted a virus that damaged her heart, she
was lucky to get a transplant. At first it was an overwhelmingly good
gift. But then she began to remember a murder she never witnessed—the
murder of her heart's donor.
When she reveals what she knows to a disbelieving police officer,
she's exposed as a witness and must flee for her life to a remote
cottage on Hope Beach.
Fearing what might happen to her daughter and mother, she asks Marc
Everton for help, though she hasn't seen him since the night her father
died. She remembers that night with shame, and she never told Marc about
their daughter.
Marc is less than convinced that Elin's "memories" are real. He is
blindsided by the news about his daughter, but for her sake, he agrees
to help. Then he begins to notice the small ways Elin is different. She
now likes coffee, her musical tastes have changed, and she's ditched her
jeans and sneakers for dresses and high heels.
As Elin tries to stay alive and bring the killer to justice, she
begins to doubt her own identity. Did her new heart save her life only
to cause her to lose herself? And if she's really changed, why does her
new heart love Marc just as much as her old one did?
My Thoughts
Every time I pick up a novel by Colleen Coble I know I'm going to read a great book! Seagrass Pier definitely met that definition and was a great addition to The Hope Beach series.
Okay. Let me just go ahead and say that I LOVED Elin and Marc. They were a great couple—with plenty of conflict and romantic tension and sweet moments. I definitely felt bad for Marc when he learns a life-changing truth. (Not cool, Elin!) And things seemed to pile on Elin at times. However, it was refreshing to see how she grew as she had to deal with so many challenges. I enjoyed reading all the ups and downs ... which made for an interesting story.
The suspense didn't seem quite as suspenseful as some of Coble's other novels, but there was still plenty going on that had me scratching my head and flipping the pages. Overall, I truly enjoyed this story and recommend it to anyone looking for a mental escape as the summer winds down. [4 stars]
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my fair and honest review.
