The way they communicate silently with the boats out there, the way the sea whips the rocks as if in anger…. That’s no spoiler, it happens early on but suffice to say that that’s just the start! . The scene setting was really well done as I could feel the wind, the sea and see the ghostly veil of the lighthouse lamp.
The booktrail
"</i>Personally, I was riveted right up until almost the end, which left me somewhat unsatisfied. Told from the point of view of the women in the story, this suspense thriller held my attention throughout.
I love the kind of novel where friends head out to a remote and locked-room kind of setting only for something bad to happen to them. An fully immersive reading experience I really enjoyed. Someone goes missing only for him to turn up the next day very afraid…. The rampant tension, brought on by interpersonal conflicts, secrets, and paranoia, seems to permeate the pages.
Certainly not after reading this! But you are wrong.
Not sure if I would ever go to a reunion in a lighthouse mind. The Lighthouse blinds and confuses you and I loved that! That’s why exploring it via fiction is particularly good in this case. Fran has a good, strong premise and explores it in a way I hadn’t read before.
I'm sure my opinions about the ending are in the minority though. There’s something very creepy about lighthouses I think. You know what I mean though, this kind of premise is exciting in a book and intriguing but it would be awful in real life!
<i>"I've realised something earlier: I don't trust any of them not to lie. With creepy vibes and overtones of horror, this suspense-fueled novel would be just the thing for a late October night.
