"HARBOR SECRETS" BY MELODY CARLSON

A Peaceful Coastal Town…Threatened by a Storm of Secrets

It's 1916 when newspaper woman Anna McDowell learns her estranged father has suffered a stroke. Deciding it's time to repair bridges, Anna packs up her precocious adolescent daughter and heads for her hometown in Sunset Cove, Oregon.

Although much has changed since the turn of the century, some things haven’t. Anna finds the staff of her father’s paper not exactly eager to welcome a woman into the editor-in-chief role, but her father insists he wants her at the helm. Anna is quickly pulled into the charming town and her new position…but just as quickly learns this seaside getaway harbors some dark and dangerous secrets.

With Oregon’s new statewide prohibition in effect, crime has crept along the seacoast and invaded even idyllic Sunset Cove. Anna only meant to get to know her father again over the summer, but instead she finds herself rooting out the biggest story the town has ever seen—and trying to keep her daughter safe from it all.

Melody Carlson has written more than 200 books (with sales around 6.5 million) for teens, women, and children. That’s a lot of books, but mostly she considers herself a “storyteller.” Her young adult novels (Diary of a Teenage Girl, True Colors etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. She’s won a number of awards (including RT’s Career Achievement Award, the Rita, and the Gold medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV. Carlson has two grown sons and makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and yellow Lab dog.

"HARBOR SECRETS" BY MELODY CARLSON is a wonderful book. It is the first in the series.  It is a story about a woman who is a newspaper  reporter and she returns home to her father with a secret, her daughter.  But in the end her father has a secret to tell her as well.But before she learns his secret, she takes over as the boss of her father's newspaper and with the help of 3 want to be boyfriends tries to stop some criminals.

This book really kept me turning the pages and I am looking forward to reading book 2 because the book sorts of ends in a cliff hanger. While reading this book I was thinking "Oh no, don't let it be true" I so not want this to be like this.

The ending is good for some of the characters but not of the characters have a happy ending. I was hoping this one character, that didn't have a happy ending, would turn out to be different from  what he seemed to be.

I was given a complimentary copy by Celebrate Lit and the author. These opinions are my own.
