I've really enjoyed reading your revi...Hi Lisa! I've really enjoyed reading your reviews of the Jewell Cove series so far. And I'm glad you liked Treasure better than the first two...<br /><br />Branching into longer stories is kind of strange. The slight paranormal aspect to Blackberry was a bit different, and the other books deal with more town legend and secrets rather than paranormal elements. Still, I loved writing that ghosty part. With Seashell, it was a much shorter length so the opportunity to get super weighty wasn't really there. And we were looking to do a real Christmassy read with lots of holiday spirit. But I can absolutely understand how it's been hard for you to get a read on the series. Each one has been a bit different in its own way.<br /><br />I think you'll find Summer at Lovers' Island more like Treasure...the demons aren't quite as dark but overall I feel like I've hit my stride better with the longer length. There is definitely a learning curve doing something new, but I've loved *almost* every moment of it (Treasure went through some big revisions) and I appreciate how you've stuck with it. I hope you won't be disappointed. :) <br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />DonnaDonna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826068694000203655noreply@blogger.com
