Entangled Teen
Summary
When her parents propose a summer across the country with a music teacher who runs an inn, Lydia agrees. But it’s different from what she expected. There’s a presence there she can’t quite reconcile—and it feels like it’s hunting her. It seems Tristan’s promise followed her…and may have graver consequences than she could have known.
Then there’s Michael Malone, the one light spot in an otherwise dark existence. Lydia can’t help but be drawn to him, and as they try to uncover the evil plaguing the inn, they grow closer. But guilt over Tristan’s death still consumes her. Can she and Michael uncover what evil lurks in the inn before it takes another victim?
My Review
4 Stars
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
After Always was a surprising read for me and thankfully it was in a good way. What I was expecting to read was a simple love and loss story about a girl who ends up finding love again, but I ended up getting some much more.
I enjoyed getting to watch Lydia’s healing and growth from her past relationship and Tristan's death. It was believable and real. There was no speedy fix to her pain and grief, just the simple fact that it takes time. Michael was a gem and I feel he is exactly they kind of person Lydia needed to be around during such a difficult time in her life.
The paranormal aspects and added mystery gave this story a twist I was not expecting but it did not disappoint. I look for to reading more by Barbara J. Hancock in the future.
