REVIEW:

My favorite character ever in my reading life is Blossom created by Ashley Farley. I’ve been missing Blossom and she has made a comeback in her own series. I’m in heaven that I am able to spend time with her again. She is a heavenly devine character! The new series is called Soul Seekers and the first book is Return to Marsh Hollow. Each book in this new series will be a stand alone book featuring Blossom. 

This story is about Lydia Meyer. Her mother has recently died and she is heading home to the family estate on the Chesapeake Bay to take care of things. Lydia has not been back home since she escaped more than 20 years earlier. She finds she has a lot to deal with when she gets home including the circumstances of her mothers death.

If you have read any of Ms. Farley’s books in the past you know she packs them with interesting characters and there is always a lot going on. I can’t think of one book I’ve read by her that she hasn’t kept my interest from page one until I turn the final page. I’m always looking forward to the next book and the time I will get to spend in the world of her characters. 

There are several things that draw me to Ashley Farley books. One of them is that they most often take place in small towns or areas. In her series you will get to know most of the characters as friends. Her characters in each book are of a large range of ages and readers will be able to find the ones that they like who will draw them into the story. 

What more can you ask for in a story? Great settings, great characters, lots of things going on and always the most interesting story lines. I simply can’t wait to get more time with Blossom. I would love someone in my life that was like her. She is a true Guardian Angel put on this earth to help those that need her the most. Do you need a Blossom? If so, pick up this first book in the Soul Seeker series, Return to Marsh Hollow for your nightstand. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

A mother’s death. A daughter’s reckoning. A family’s darkest hour.

After her mother’s death, Lydia Meyer returns to Marsh Hollow, her family’s isolated estate on the Chesapeake Bay. She hasn’t been back in over two decades—not since she escaped the suffocating life her mother created. But when she arrives, strange things begin to surface. A vandalized house. A mysterious journal. A graveyard in the woods that haunts her dreams.

As Lydia begins to unravel the secrets buried within Marsh Hollow’s walls, long-suppressed memories rise to the surface—along with questions no one wants answered. What really happened to her father? Why did her sister disappear? And who is behind the powerful force determined to keep the truth hidden?

With the help of Blossom, a mysterious woman who appears just when Lydia needs her most, she must confront the past before it consumes her future. But some secrets don’t stay buried—and with every step closer to the truth, Lydia risks awakening something that was never meant to be found.

Can Lydia escape the shadow of her family’s legacy, or will uncovering the truth cost her everything?
