The House on Blackberry Hill by Donna Alward

5.0

This was the first book by Alward that I’ve read, and man, it was good. I wouldn’t class it as a romance novel, or a ghost story, or a family drama — it was all of the above, melded into a melange that somehow worked. I could see this being a flop depending on who wrote it, but Alward somehow made it all blend together perfectly. This was my first novel by her but it’s definitely not my last. Also, I love the setting. She brought the Maine coast to life perfectly — a place that has a soft spot in my heart.
