I suppose Im in the minority here with the rating and review.
One star for the cover.

I had a hard time getting into the first book in the series but I loved the idea of the lighthouse and it housing the town library. Ocean included! I loved the setting and thought how can you go wrong writing something like this?

It has felt disjointed the whole time for me. As if something is totally missing. There is so much writing about the characters that you get no chance at hearing the atmosphere or the setting description. All I see are faces and people talking when I visualize these stories with no background. I dont like that.

Book 2 did capture my interest and I did like that one. Sooo, of course Ill read book 3. This one was so bad, it felt like the author was so desperate just to write a story and couldn't think of anything. Then again this is a story we have heard a million times in other mystery or cozy books, it fell flat for me. I had to keep urging myself to go on when I was more than half way. I was so tired of reading the humdrum of words, I felt blessed to shut the book for good.

I will not read any further in this series, Im finally convinced...never judge a book by its gorgeous cover..

I do not recommend this series, there are many cozies out there that will have you itching to turn the pages throughout!
