Into the Blue, the third book in Kay Bratt’s By the Sea series takes you on an emotional journey filled with hope for a happily ever after.
Jules Monroe is a woman whose hard work and dedication has built a rewarding life for herself and her family. Now in her late fifties, she gives selflessly to her husband, kids, community, and their charter business. But everything comes to an abrupt halt when her body says enough, and her mind yearns for respite and a place to hide from past hurts.
Oldest son, Jonah Monroe, is a veteran haunted by a childhood tragedy. His past includes things he isn't proud of and can’t quite shake. When his chance to be a hero finally arrives, it comes with strings attached. Will he accept the kindness of strangers to help bring his family back together, or will his demons continue to be his downfall?
Maui isn’t always the safe paradise it’s made out to be and when ancient island superstitions threaten to rob the Monroe family yet again, they must all find a way to deter the impending disaster.
MY THOUGHTS:
This is the third book in the By the Sea trilogy by Kay Bratt. It's also the best one. All are great in there own right but still this one is just the best one.
The Monroe family have had their share of heartaches and losses. When things take a turn for the worse for Jules and Kira this family bans together to do all they can to set things right again. Through many ups and downs this story will keep you holding your breath. Keep you on the edge until the end. There is so much happening to this family and yet they never once waver. They never give up. Together they can do almost anything. Jules and Noah have a love that is endless and will see them through even the worse of times. Their children are fighters who are there for each other in times of need. Calling on the people for help and on a mother who is not in this families good graces. Can things be forgiven? Can they find the one they love in time?
There are lessons to be learned in this book also. Never ever give up on the ones you love. Always talk to them even when you think maybe they can not hear you. Blow that horn. Play that music loud. Keep on looking no matter what. Keep on holding that hand. Ask for that movement. Squeeze. Just take a deep breath and never give up.
This book is so good. It has all the feels. From laughter to gut wrenching sobs. From family being together to forgiveness to questioning. Did someone hurt Kira? What happened to Jules? Can they communicate and find their way back to each other? It will all be answered in this wonderful story os a family who has already endured so much and came out stronger than ever.
In the STORY BEHIND THE STORY Kay tells you where this story came from. I remember feeling the same way when I saw that this young woman went missing. Praying that she would be found alive and ok. Only Kay can spin a story that will have your heart racing this fast and furious. All the way to the very last word. It was a fast read for me. I couldn't put it down. I even read into the wee hours of the morning.
Thank you Kay Bratt for this ARC. This is my own true feelings about this book.
