An enthralling, spooky read, Silver Lake was a page-turner from the beginning!
*Notice: I do not give out spoilers!*
Having read Kathryn Knight’s novel Gull Harbor, I was excited when Silver Lake was re-released on Amazon e-Book. She didn’t disappoint! Silver Lake was as enthralling as Gull Harbor…romance, mystery, and of course, ghosts, this novel was a page-turner from the very beginning!
Five years after her best friend Brandy goes missing, a newly divorced Rain Anderson has been given a chance to discover the past – by Brandy’s mother. The woman is dying of cancer, and she wants closure before she leaves this earth: what happened to her daughter?
Having been given a cabin at Silver Lake for the summer, Rain contacts their intimate group of friends that knew Brandy best. Lately, Brandy had been tormenting all of them in their dreams, and Rain thinks if they all come together, they can help put their friend at peace. However, Rain’s nervous about this high school reunion. Five years ago, she left Jason, her best friend, with a broken heart. She’s hoping after all these years that Jason has forgiven her.
For the past three years, Jason Lansing has thought of nothing but his work. Straight out of college, he started his own Karate institute, and it has become his whole life. His live-in girlfriend, Cara, is hardly a presence in his life anymore; and he’s haunted by dreams of their friend. When his high school crush gets in touch to spend a few weeks of the summer out at their teenage hangout, Silver Lake, Jason decides that perhaps he needs to do this…to finally put the past behind him, including Rain. He didn’t anticipate that he’d fall for Rain yet again.
Rain has the house for the whole summer, and she arrives first – as does Brandy’s ghost. When Jason, A.J., and Allie all show up, the house is riddled with weird happenings – puddles of water on the floor, broken windows, a near-drowning experience – the friends all agree that they have to discover what really happened to Brandy all those years ago, for their own sanity.
Silver Lake was a good read. I sort of figured it out in the first half of the book, but the excitement and mystery that led to the end result was well worth the time. Jason and Rain’s reuniting romance and their spicy chemistry was definitely worth the read, and I really liked their story. Silver Lake seems like a magical place, and Kathryn Knight has a knack for eerie description. She sets the scene beautifully, and you feel like you’re there with the characters as Brandy wreaks havoc on the house.
I think this Ms. Knight’s first novel, and I did like her second book, Gull Harbor, better. However, I love her writing style, and Silver Lake was definitely worth the time and money to read.
