This book earns five stars from me. The writing was compelling, the characters complex and the story masterfully told. -Sharon Hughson
I was completely swept up by the history, the suspense, the surprises along the way, and the two beautiful love stories. I couldn't put it down! -Tamara Ingram
This is an OMG, blew me out of the water (pun intended) kind of book. I am only on page 178 out of 274... And I seriously paused and waited a few minutes before picking up my jaw off the floor. This book... It's amazing so far, and I can't wait to finish it. -Amanda Kiekbusch
*****
Finnian bears the scar of an unspeakable crime. Tiria hides the pain of a terrible betrayal. When all their secrets are laid bare, will the truth rip them apart or forever silence the echoes of the past?
Seventeen-year-old Finnian Bell has been on the run for years, but he finally has a chance to rebuild his life while restoring an abandoned lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. Tiria Lucas, the lightkeeper's daughter, is still reeling from the pain of an event that has shattered her innocence. Fear and bitterness have turned her heart from Finnian, but he is determined not to let her go.
The lighthouse harbors dark secrets of its own... When Finnian and Tiria uncover the story of two teens hidden in the tower back in 1935, they discover a shocking connection that bridges time and death.
*****
Echoes in the Glass is half-contemporary, half-historical with enough mystery, romance and lighthouse lore to ignite your imagination.
A masterfully woven tale of two time periods brought together in the mystery of an old lighthouse. The characters are endearing and the plot kept me turning the page for more! Well done! -GypsyGirl
We get thrown some unexpected twists in both stories and at one point I could almost feel my heart breaking. It's a very bittersweet story that gave me one hell of a book hangover and left my heart a wee bit sore. -@ColourpopME
I loved the blend of historical and contemporary fiction, along with the unique setting and the very small touches of paranormal and mystery. If you're looking for an atmospheric read with a unique flare then Echoes in the Glass might be for you. -Michelle @ In Libris Veritas
