LOSS LAKE by Amber Cowie

 


A new town, a new life, and a new home—with an absolutely chilling lakefront view.

From the author of Rapid Falls comes another totally engrossing novel of suspense and whodunit.

Mallory moved to Loss Lake after the death of her husband. She needed a new beginning. A new start to the rest of her life. How was she to know what awaited in this quaint town. It seemed everyone in McNamara knew her before she even spoke. Before she even got settled completely. Then there was the drowning on her newly bought property. Was Mallory hiding something or was she innocent. Did she know more than she told. Or was this something way more sinister. 

This book will grab you from the start and won't let go. From the first time you meet these people you will wonder about them. What kind of secrets are they keeping and what really happens in Loss Lake. Is it really a monster or is someone causing things to happen. 

The people in this town are likable. They seem to be there for each other no matter what and even if they dislike you they are there. So many strange things happen and so much is going on. From a blizzard to some truths being told you will wonder who is doing what. And is Mallory the innocent person she appears to be. Is she a grieving wife or something more. I liked Mallory regardless of what you may find out. I just did. I liked all the characters in this story. 

It kept me wondering all the way through. Was it realistic that so many people had drowned in Loss Lake or was something on the unearthly side working here. You will have to read this book to find out. Believe me it is so well worth the read too. One of the best. I liked it even better than Rapid Falls and it was great. 

This is one close knit community. You either fit in or move on I suppose. They do take care of their own. It seemed like almost everyone was related in some ways. There are a lot of secrets going on in McNamara but you'll find the answers in the pages of this book to all. It's very well written and makes you feel like you are right there. The descriptions are done so well you feel like you are in the house Mallory bought or the store Kylie owns. Even the cop, Joel, is one to wonder about though. Mallory questions everything and finally finds the answers she needed to move on with her life.

Thank you to #NetGalley, #AmberCowie, #LakeUnion for this ARC. This is my own true review.

5/5 stars and a high recommend. This book was great.
