When Kevin Tucker lost his wife, his daughter Amy lost not only a loving mom, but also a dear friend. Saddled with guilt and grief in the face of a devastating loss, Amy withdraws into herself and into a dark and painful place.

Distraught at the state of Amy’s health, Kevin undertakes a missing person’s case in the distant town of Seabrook in the hopes that a change in scenery may lift Amy’s spirits, and hopefully bring he and Amy closer. Begrudgingly, Amy agrees to tag along on her dad’s assignment. Because anything was better than staying at home alone.

Upon arrival in Seabrook, Kevin and Amy settle back into their old routines. With Kevin heading down to the bar and Amy attempting to get some much needed sleep that she has been struggling to get for the last month.

Desperate for sleep, Amy draws a bath and begins her relaxation process only to be startled awake by a strange man in her bathroom, who she would later come to know as Ryan Porter.

The Lighthouse is a slow build adult fiction with hints of romance and mystery. But it is so much more and I can’t say a great deal more without giving away the story. I can say that I was taken away by the plot and was very moved by the storyline.

The characters are likeable and there is a bit of intrigue in all of them until the story unfolds toward and unforgetable ending. The Lighthouse is a moving novel that will take your breath away, leave you sobbing and wanting it to never end. Five touching stars.

I received a digital ARC from Beacon Press through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
