The Visitor by Joanne DeMaio
Series: The Seaside Saga #17
Women's Saga, 228 pages
Published May 15, 2023 by Joanne DeMaio
From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes The Visitor, Book 18 of The Seaside Saga.
In the dark of a summer night, everything can change. A moment can tip on edge. The salt air might stir. Or still. The waves might roll in. Or recede. A heart might fill. Or break. In two different cottages, the night is coming undone. As the sun sinks into the sea, as evening presses in, the summer calm is broken. Until an unexpected visitor arrives.
My thoughts about The Visitor ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)
First line—"What was he thinking? Calling people at the end of the day. Intruding on their lives, their home—right at the dinner hour."
The Visitor starts off pretty intense! Shane is in a bad way and reaches out, but eventually cuts off the phone call to his friend. What is going on? Is Shane okay? Well, obviously, he's not.
The drama just continues on from there. But Stony Point friends are going to be there for their friends. Always. That's just the way it is in that close-knit community. Friends being friends.
I always love my visits to Stony Point and being able to catch up with the lives of the people of this lovely town.
I love this whole series and The Visitor was another wonderful reading escape for me. I can't wait for the next book so I can visit Stony Point again. If you have not picked up these books yet, you really should. You will come to love this community and these people as much as I do.
Book #19, Stairway to the Sea, is scheduled to be released on August 1, 2023!
I received a copy of The Visitor from the author and this is my honest opinion.
If new to The Seaside Saga, the reading order is below. Written like an ongoing TV show, it's a revolutionary series following the same tangled group of beach friends from book-to-book.
