The
Empty
Room

GENRE:
Mystery, Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
small town of Eastbrook, Maine seemed like the close-knit community
where newlyweds Dean and Elizabeth Montgomery could begin their lives
together, and the 1901 Victorian seemed like the house they’d
always dreamed of owning. The only condition for purchasing the
property was that it was sold in “as-is” condition.
When
the couple arrives in Eastbrook, they receive anything but a warm
welcome from the local residents. And when they realize that as-is
condition meant that the previous owner of the house had left every
worldly possession behind, the dream of the small town life starts to
take a mysterious turn.
Day
after day, Dean and Elizabeth uncover more truths than they could
have ever imagined, or ever wanted to know about the secrets that
were hidden in the small town of Eastbrook. And as neighbors become
growingly hostile with every encounter, this young couple searches
furiously to uncover what the residents are trying to hide.
As
their journey unfolds, Elizabeth goes missing and Dean must turn to
the very neighbors he fears may have known what would happen to her
from the moment the couple arrived for help. Because in this town,
some secrets are better off hidden.

Excerpt:
The car grumbled to a
stop at the end of the gravel driveway. The three-day car trip was
finally over. The gas station food and bathrooms stops were all
behind them. They were home. The house might have been filled with
someone else’s belongings, but they owned it now.
The
house looked like a postcard from the outside. Small shrubs lined
each side of the driveway as it suspiciously winded its way to the
front porch. The grass was wet with dew after the recent rain.
As
though looking at a piece of abstract art, Dean and Elizabeth both
leaned forward in their seats toward the dash and squinted from
inside the window of the car. Their eyes moved from left to right,
making sure to taste every detail that first met their view.
“It’s
gorgeous.” Elizabeth peered out from beneath the windshield.
With
her eyes squinted and her mouth opened slightly, she studied every
feature of architecture as though the house would greet her with an
exam before allowing her to enter. She broke her concentration from
the house and pressed her hand to the passenger side window, looking
up and down to visually imprint every detail that awaited.

After running behind on my reviews, I was so glad to finally get to this book. I had been antsy to read it! It's a page turner with all the twist. I wasn't sure how this was going to end but it will take you for a surprise! This book isn't what you would think when you first start reading it. This author's talent is excellent! She knows how to flip things around on you! Very impressive read!
