Materializing on September 30, Soul Searching by Lyla Sage is the first book in her new Sweetwater Peak series (it’s giving spooky steamy Stars Hollow).
- Collins is trouble. She’s an award-winning photographer who’s lost her spark and reluctantly returns home.
- Oh, sweet boring Brady. He’s a cute nerd who left his big-city job to start over as an upholster and heal his heartbreak.
This new paranormal cowboy romance is scary-good! I was immediately hooked by the premise, enjoyed getting to know the cast of characters, plus the dual point of view and slow burn romance were perfection.
Soul Searching has something for everyone: Slow burn, medium spice, Black cat/shy guy, Returning home/fresh start, Small mountain town, Found family, Opposite twin sisters, Forced proximity, Coworkers as roommates, Sibling conflict, Saving local landmarks, Spooky side quests, Sparking up in abandoned church, Bit of true crime and mystery, Unfinished business.
The ending and the multiple plots are a big set-up for the series and I’m already excited for the next book. Hopefully, we’ll get a deeper dive into the Cartwright family and residents of Sweetwater Peak (plus the Amos Rider connection).
Big thanks to Netgalley, Dial Press, Random House for the opportunity to share my honest review of this uncorrected proof!
