Love, Water, Memory

Love, Water, Memory is the fourth novel from PNW author Jennie Shortridge that I have had the pleasure of reading. Her latest book is part psychological mystery and part love story. What would it be like to wake up in California - far from where you live in Washington, with no memory of anything? This is where Lucie Walkers story begins. With help from Fiance Grady, memories slowly return and Lucie is forced to deal with deep, dark emotions that have been repressed for years. Will Lucie have the courage to become a more compassionate and loving person, or will her fears compel her to remain unchanged?

Elizabeth Kelley's novel The Last Summer of the Camperdowns is fantastic! I was immediately engaged and absorbed by Kelley's unique writing style. her character development of the Camperdown family and their friends and neighbors is brilliant and each person contributes to the family's dysfunctional lifestyle on Cape Cod (my native lane). Some of the scenes are hilarious, yet others are so intense they left my heart racing. This novel has it all - politics, infatuation, secrets, scandals, revenge... It is a quick and compelling read.

Jim Lynch is becoming one of my favorite regional authors. His second novel, Border Songs, tells the story of Brandon Vanderkool as he overcomes his awkward, shy behavior and becomes a border control agent patrolling the Washington/Canada border. Lynch's characters always tug at the heart and have the reader cheering for their success. Lynch is a compassionate and intriguing writer.
