Book Review - Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn Series - Book 1 & 2

The Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn series (Guideposts Books) introduces readers to Caroline, Gracie and Sam as they gather for a vacation where they spent the summers as children, and follows their adventures as they fulfill their mother's dream of opening a bed and breakfast. As the sisters heal from their mother's passing, they bond in ways they never imagined and discover evidence of God's hand in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

A team of four authors come together under the pen name of Evangeline Kelley to bring the unique personalities of each sister to vivid life and welcome audiences to the charming and historic island of Nantucket, complete with cobblestone streets, quaint shops, ferries, sandy beaches and salty air.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Evangeline Kelley is the pen name for the writing team of Patti Berg, Pam Andrews & Barbara Hanson, and Camy Tang, the four authors who collaborated to create Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn. Each of them has published novels individually, but this is their first series together.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Three sisters, a charming inn, hints of mystery and romance, and a gorgeous seaside setting. Summer reading at its finest!

When Caroline Marris joins her sisters, Gracie Gold and Sam Carter for a Nantucket Island getaway, she has no idea how it will change her life. The sisters stumble upon Misty Harbor Inn, the place their late mother loved so much, and Caroline talks her sisters into buying the beautiful but dilapidated inn. But can free-spirited Caroline stay focused enough to make opening the inn a reality? Hand-drawn old postcards draw the sisters into the mystery of Hannah Montague, the young widow of the original owner. Can the sisters uncover the fate of this woman who disappeared in 1880? As Caroline and her sisters work together to make their mom's dream a reality, they bond in ways they never expected.

MY REVIEW:

This was such a sweet and lovely book!! I picked it up and couldn't put it down. I loved how the sisters come together to do something they know their mother would love, yet ends up being something that totally brings them together and they end up loving, as well.

I really loved how the author(s) showed these three, middle aged sisters, who are so different, using their individual talents to bring something about. I also liked how they were so close, despite their differences.

This book was an easy read, yet a delightful read and I highly recommend it!!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Misty Harbor Inn officially opens, and Gracie Gold, the middle Marris sister, wrestles with an overwhelming decision. As the sisters learn the day-to-day workings of running an inn, Gracie counsels its first guests, newlyweds whose honeymoon seems to be ending before it begins. Meanwhile, Sam's discovery of a clue in a secret room sheds unflattering light on Hannah Montague, who vanished from the house more than one hundred years ago. And as Gracie and Caroline welcome guests to the inn, they are delighted to see how God uses it --- and them --- to deepen relationships and transform lives

MY REVIEW:

The second book in the series was just as great! I loved the fact that I didn't have to wait to read the next book after loving the first one so much! lol  I really liked seeing the sisters relationship deepen and getting to know each of them better.

I enjoyed seeing how the sisters dealt with some of the struggles that Grace has and also the mysterious plot line throughout.

Again, this is an excellent read. I really hated to come to the end of book because it was so delightful!
