on the release today of
Hello Goodbye!
Published November 16, 2023 by Red Thread Publishing Group
In the captivating new installment of Kay Bratt's acclaimed Hart's Ridge series, Hello Goodbye, the tranquil town is gripped by fear and concern following a shocking double murder that leaves three adopted children once again orphaned. Amidst the turmoil, Deputy Taylor Gray finds herself relegated to a secondary role behind the town's detective, but her unwavering dedication to solving the case knows no bounds.
But the challenges faced by the Gray family extend beyond the murder investigation. Taylor's fiancé, Sam, is blindsided by a life-altering revelation: he discovers he has a 12-year-old daughter he never knew existed. This revelation sets in motion a tumultuous journey for Sam as he navigates the complexities of instant fatherhood while striving to maintain his relationship with Taylor.
Amidst the chaos, Sam is determined to help Taylor find closure for a painful chapter from her past. As he endeavors to mend the scars that haunt her, he hopes to win not just a part but the entirety of her heart, even the parts she has closed off.
Kay Bratt's signature storytelling style beckons readers back into the enigmatic world of Hart's Ridge, where secrets are hidden in every nook and cranny, and the indomitable bonds of family face their most challenging tests. Hello Goodbye weaves a gripping narrative of mystery and the unbreakable ties that bind a small-town community. If you're yearning for an absorbing mystery with well-drawn characters and a compelling storyline, this latest addition to the Hart's Ridge series is a must-read.
Hello Goodbye is book seven of the new Hart's Ridge small-town mystery series, written by Kay Bratt, million-copy best-selling author of Wish Me Home and True to Me.
My thoughts about Hello Goodbye ~~
(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 lines—"Taylor Gray always thought of nature as a gift for the soul and, as she drove through the winding roads, her eyes were drawn to the breathtaking beauty that surrounded her."
I love Kay Bratt's Hart's Ridge series and I swear, each installment draws me in even more than the previous one. I love how I have become so entrenched in the lives of the Gray family and the Hart's Ridge community. Each story is a wonderful blend of a captivating mystery that Taylor is involved in, but then we also get to be a part of the family dynamics and all that that entails. There's plenty of drama, compassion, and love.
Along with the murder investigation that Taylor finds herself involved in, her new fiancé is faced with a child he knew nothing about suddenly appearing in their lives. Plenty of drama there and what will it all mean for their relationship?
This is an amazing series and one that I highly recommend. Hello Goodbye is another exciting, heartwarming story in the continuing, complicated lives of the Gray family. Book eight is scheduled to be released next month. I'm so excited to read more!
I received an ARC of Hello Goodbye from the author and this is my honest opinion.
