A classic tale of star-crossed lovers - with a dark twist. Vividly told, with plenty of surprises
A perfect summer read. Very evocative. A super book and I highly recommend it
A stirring and intoxicating story of love and twisted secrets waiting... lurking. The bewitching hot heady Deep South encouraged me to explore the past, so evocatively described and full of promise. Waves of emotion, spilling the ups and downs of life, feeling touchable and realistic wash the pages. Tasmina Perry has the ability to immerse you entirely within the story, I lived in the moment, whether it was 1995 or 2015. 'The House on Sunset Lake' surges towards a climatic ending, it is a moving, and truly very lovely story indeed
