MY THOUGHTS:
Isla has recently lost your beloved grandmother Jessie. Isla cared for her grandmother when her sister Caitlin left Heaven’s Cove. Isla is hoping to reconnect with Caitlin now that Jessie is gone. But when Caitlin decides she wants to sell the lovely little cottage that they spent their childhood in, Isla wants nothing to do with her. When Jessie’s will is read Isla and Caitlin are surprised to receive envelopes with riddles inside. They must solve the puzzles together as sisters. When Isla meets Ben in the village they are immediately attracted to each other. And with long walks on the beach Isla discovers that Ben was a relative of Jessie. Was he there intentionally or was it fate that brought them together?
The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea by author Liz Eeles is a wonderful escape back to Heaven’s Cove. Heaven’s Cove is one of my most favorite places to visit. With its picturesque views of the sea and the amazing little village, I am always happy to return. Eeles describes Heaven’s Cove perfectly and it makes me never want to leave. This amazing story had the perfect plot twists at the perfect time. When you least expect it and think you have it all figured out, the story changes. This read in one sitting book is exactly the escape I needed. This emotional and heartwarming book is an absolute must read that I highly recommend.

ABOUT LIZ EELES
Being short-listed in the Corvus ‘Love at First Write’ competition and the Novelicious search for a new women’s fiction star gave Liz the push she needed to keep putting pen to paper …. and ‘Annie’s Holiday by the Sea’ (her first published novel) is the result.
Liz lives on the South Coast with her family and, when she’s not writing, likes to spend time walking by the sea, and trying to meditate. Her ambition is to be serene one day …. she’s still got a long way to go.
