Lily has moved from her miserable life in London to a little town in America called Bluestone, to see what she can do with the hardware store her estranged father left her. What she didn't plan on doing was meeting somebody like Jake.
This is a well-written book. I rather enjoyed it from the start. It's the first in the Bluestone series by Isobel. Lily has a lot of sass and I like that in the characters. It has a good flow and I found it easy to get back into the story after having to put it down. Isobel has handled sensitive subjects well, not brushing over them quickly, but getting the feelings out that I imagine they would be in the situations they've been placed.
I'm looking forward to the next book. A recommended read

I don't know if it was intentional, but I did find that as I was reading I felt some similarities between this and the Lord of the Rings, the quest to save things as it is. As I read further through there were a lot more differences and I felt it was finally on its own path and able to tell its tale.
One of the things I did find annoying was the repetitiveness of some of the sentences, I know it was possibly done for effect but it seemed to have no relevance or impact on the story.
When the story was in its own flow I was captured and enjoyed the adventure that I was taken on and the mystical things that were involved. Apart from my grievance above, I did find that it was very well written.
Give it a chance.

Leo is a highly regarded businesswoman that has fought tooth and nail for what she has. She has done things she's not proud of to protect the ones she loves, her mother - who is in a maximum security prison - ends up in a coma through an overdose of an illegal substance. It's up to Leo and the few people she trusts to get to the bottom of what happened.
This book is not for the faint-hearted there is quite a bit of dark stuff in here that could be a trigger for some people as there is abuse mentioned. I did enjoy the story once I got into it. I just found it a bit backward and forward to start with but then you travel farther into the story and it gets easier to comprehend.
A recommendation by me.
