Welcome to my Sunday Book Review. It seems I still haven’t got to all the Harbor Pointe series books by various authors, but I did manage to read D.L. Finn’s book this past weekend – The Destination: Harbor Pointe, and a good mystery it was.
Blurb:
The Harbor Pointe Inn has loomed on California’s cliffs for generations of Hawthornes. For some, it’s been a blessing. For others, a curse. Travel through two centuries of stories to discover the old inn’s secrets.
It’s 1967, and best friends Lacey and Sandy are enjoying a beach vacation, completely unaware of the danger that is lying in wait outside their door. Their room is quaint, with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean and an old lighthouse, but a killer is stalking their next victim. Powerless, Annie the ghost watches, knowing there’s nothing she can do to help—not even her parents, the innkeepers. Who will survive their stay at the Harbor Pointe Inn, where the edge of evil lurks within the shadows?

My 5 Star Review:
Another exciting story at The Destination in Harbor Pointe. In this story, DL Finn takes us into a bit of a mystery with a hint of paranormal. Two best friends, Lacey and Sandy, are taking a road trip and end up spending time at the Harbor Pointe Inn.
The room is lovely and so are the people, and before long, Lacey and Ben meet with some instant chemistry. There’s a friendly ghost named Annie, daughter of the Innkeepers, and she knows well that someone won’t be waking up tomorrow morning. But nobody can see Annie except Sandy.
Sandy and Lacey are two enjoyable characters to get to know. Sandy hasn’t learned to stand up for herself yet and Lacey is a great life coach to her friend, asking her to reconsider staying with a boyfriend she has no spark for, and continuing her dream of finishing university and becoming a marine biologist, always cheering her on. Lacey has plans to travel abroad for a few years, so this trip could be the last for the girls together.
As Lacey and Ben get to know each other, they decide to take an evening stroll together while Sandy prefers to read and relax. The evening turns into night and Sandy falls asleep, only to awaken the next morning to find Lacey not there and her bed untouched. This sets off a search to check Lacey and Ben’s whereabouts and anyone else who appears missing – no spoilers.
This is a short story that packs a punch with good characters and wonderfully descript setting. Throw in a ghost and a mystery and it makes a perfect paranormal whodunit.
