Seagrass Pier by Colleen Coble #review
In a secluded corner of Hope Beach, one woman must decipher a stranger’s memories before they cost her everything.
Elin Summerall was one of the lucky ones. Not only did she receive a heart transplant but the donor was a perfect fit. A miraculously perfect fit.
But when Elin begins having violent flashbacks and vivid dreams of being strangled she realizes that she has been the recipient of more than just a new heart – Elin is remembering her donor’s murder.
Her strange affliction has attracted some unwanted attention from the press, from the authorities and from the killer himself. Now living alone with her younger daughter and aging mother, Elin is being stalked by a man she has only met in her nightmares.
The police are dubious of her story but one off duty FBI agent is eager to help her, Agent Marc Everton – the father of Elin’s daughter. Of course he does not know about that…yet.
Now in a remote cottage on Hope Island, Elin and Marc must probe the secrets buried in her borrowed heart and there is no time to waste. One man is desperate to silence her before she remembers too much.
Seagrass Pier was an incredibly fast paced and exciting story from start to finish. Full of mystery and suspense – the ending was not all like I expected it to be! Completely caught me off guard (but in a good way!). I love the idea behind cell memory even if it is a little bit scary that she could be remembering stuff from the donor – especially her murder! A definite must read for all book lovers!
