Every family has its secrets. Josephina Harris wouldn't mind if her family still had a few of their own after a lawsuit tarnishes their name. When an opportunity opens to become a temporary keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse on a North Carolina island, she jumps at the chance to escape her small town to oversee its restoration.
As the work begins, "Joey" discovers strange notes tucked deep in the crevices of the old stone walls--pages torn from a lighthouse keeper's log signed by someone named Mae who recounts harrowing rescues at sea. Fascinated by a woman lighthouse keeper, Joey digs into the past only to discover there's never been a record of a lighthouse keeper by that name.
When things start to go amiss on the island, locals are convinced that it is the ghost of the lighthouse keeper and his daughter who were lost at sea during World War II. As Joey sifts through decades of rumors and legends and puts together the pieces of the past, what emerges is a love story--one that's not over yet.
My Review:
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Between the Sound and Sea. When I first heard about this book the title made me want to read it because to be between the sound and sea is really a lovely place to be. I was hoping it would be set in the Outer Banks and it was! A good chunk of the story is set on Ocracoke Island and there’s also a fictional island and lighthouse that plays a big role in the story. Even though Bleakpoint Island and lighthouse are fictional, Amanda Cox did a great job of bringing it to life and I could easily imagine it was real.
The main character Joey was great. She was likable and I loved seeing her grow as a person. Finn took a little bit to grow on me but once he did I enjoyed reading more about him.
I enjoyed seeing the love story unfold!
Walt was a great character too! He was a sweet guy.
The story has a bit of a mystery to it and while I didn’t know that going into the story it was most definitely a pleasant surprise.
I’m so glad I read this book! (Although now I desperately want a beach vacation, more so than I already did.😉)
**Thank you Revell for the book in exchange for my honest review
