Back Cover
Kaine Prescott is no stranger to death. When her husband died two years ago, her pleas for further investigation into his suspicious demise fell on deaf ears. In desperate need of a fresh start, Kaine purchases an old house sight unseen in her grandfather`s Wisconsin hometown. But one look at the eerie, abandoned house immediately leaves her questioning her rash decision. And when the house`s dark history comes back with a vengeance, Kaine is forced to face the terrifying realization she has nowhere left to hide.
A century earlier, the house on Foster Hill holds nothing but painful memories for Ivy Thorpe. When an unidentified woman is found dead on the property, Ivy is compelled to discover her identity. Ivy`s search leads her into dangerous waters, resurrecting painful memories and forcing a reunion with the man who broke her heart. Can Ivy unravel the mystery and find a renewed hope before any other lives - including her own - are lost?
Review
A new author on the scene, Jaime Jo Wright, blasted through my expectations with a spine-tingling mystery. Jaime has deftly written two tales that cross time periods with the "house on Foster Hill" bridging the gap. There is plenty of drama, loads of intrigue, and many interesting characters fleshing out this story. And because there are two stories, it also means double the romance - a huge win in my books!
When you first start reading, don't despair: the story may start as a slow simmer, but it gradually builds tension to an out-of-nowhere climax that explodes across the pages like a firecracker at a Fourth of July picnic. Ivy lends herself as a complex character whereby grief and hopelessness weigh heavy on her shoulders. Similarly, Kaine, struggles with feelings of self-doubt, guilt, and her own grief as she attempts to make a new life for herself, as well as atone for her past actions. Combined, the two leading ladies also show courage and determination in getting to the bottom of the mystery surrounding the house on Foster Hill.
The House on Foster Hill is a novel not to be missed. It has made my favourites list, and is one of the few stories I will definitely be reading again.
