Willow Point

A Harbour Falls Mystery #2

by S.R. Grey

With the Harbour Falls Mystery solved, author Maddy Fitch hopes secrets and lies are behind her. But a cryptic letter from her former best friend would seem to indicate otherwise. Is the man Maddy fell in love with while solving the Harbour Falls Mystery, the gorgeous and rich Adam Ward, keeping a damning and potentially dangerous secret from her? Only the writer of the letter, Ami Hensley, knows for sure. But Maddy is hesitant to confront her, since the last time they saw one another Ami tried to kill her.

But if Maddy wants answers--ones that could potentially save Adam--then she must face her fears and visit her former friend. Unfortunately for Maddy, Ami is currently locked up in the creepiest place in Maine, an old gothic structure that houses the criminally insane, known simply as Willow Point.

Will this new mystery tear Maddy and Adam apart?

Who else is in on Adam's secret?

And will Maddy find the answers before it's too late?

4.5 Lies, secrets, shit and deceit Stars

Did you really think Adam would allow you to just happen upon the biggest secret of his life? Put those fine investigative skills back to work. Trouble is brewing. Helena knows something. I suspect Adam does, too.



The second book in "The Harbour Falls Mystery" picks up where the first book left us supposedly with all the cards, face up on the table. But the truth is still out of our reach, answers are even more vague and everything is hauntingly calm underneath the cold snow blanket. But what will be left standing when all the snow melts away? Will the sun finally light the dark and unearth the secrets buried underneath?



Maddy Fitch finally thinks that all the ghosts rest peacefully in the past, where they belong. She writes her love story book instead of the true crime story, she was planning and she actually lives one. Her relationship with Adam Ward the sexy and arrogant millionaire, is stronger and more passionate than ever.



A letter from her almost killer and currently committed in the mental institution "Willow Point" ex-best friend Amy, will again turn her life upside down and make doubt the truth she was told. Again she will have to lie, cheat and keep secrets of her own, not only to find out what happened, but also to protect the other half of her heart.

I took his hand and leaned into his shoulder. Didn’t he know I’d go anywhere with him?

Continuing in the pace that made my heart pound in the first book, this story takes the classic Whodunnit formula and runs with it... I really think the appropriate description is Whodidn'tdoit.



Maddy is narrating the events as they unravel before her eyes. The tone and setting of the story are almost ominous and add to the suspense and mystery. There is something sinister lurking and ready to pounce.



And then there are the characters. Staying true to what they came to be. Maddening, infuriating and endearing.

Adam is his usual breathtaking self...

"I want to make the wind roar to show you how much I love you. Melt the snow on the ground to show you the way I burn for you.”



The cold man has finally thawed and he is jealous and possessive and more protective than ever. The time has come to let someone inside his heart and share his burden.

Maddy is also the same curious young woman, who can't stay out of trouble and is irrevocably in love. Protective of Adam herself, she will do anything to keep him safe. Even if it means that she will have to destroy herself in the process...



And of course Amy deserves a mention of her own... She is not just crazy but really:



And in the end, when you can finally say that the air is clear and you feel free of all the deceit, a new danger more tangible and from the most unexpected place, will threaten everything our heroes fought so hard to preserve. And can ultimately cost them their lives.

4 STARS out of 5
Genre: Contemporary Romance -Suspense/Thriller

Willow Point is a suspenseful mystery that will take you on many twists and turns till the very last page.







‘Sometimes a photo has the power to capture a perfect moment in time. This photo had done just that. And if I could have frozen that moment in more than just a picture, just kept things the way they were, I would have in a heartbeat.’ ~Maddy

Where book 1 in The Harbour Falls series was more of a guessing game of



Book 2 Willow Point was more so on the level of Clue?



Clues that lead Maddy straight to a secret from Adam’s past. Of course our always curious Maddy prefers to be on a must know basis. But didn’t anyone ever tell her that curiosity killed the cat. As the clues lead her to uncover a lie she soon realizes she may lose Adam after all.




Willow point picks right up where book 1 left off. Maddy was given info from Amy that suggests Adam gave her false information. And he did. Now her alarm bells are ringing... Adam lied, but why? *Grins*



She discovers a carefully hidden truth and it leads her back to the main land and away from Adam. Back on the main land she meets an eye catching new neighbor! Stowe.

‘Why must my neighbor be so hot?’ ~Maddy



Of course there may be more to him than meets the eye.

Helena’s involvement in the mystery takes front and center as clue after clue reveal a horrible secret harbored by Adam and his friends that was buried deep for many years.

My Casting




My Thoughts
The mystery may have dominated while romance took a back seat. But do not get it twisted S.R. Grey gave a good dose of steam in the book as well! Major twist and turns go down in this book up to the very last page which I LOVED! S.R. Grey does an awesome job setting up the plot for the next book with a great epilogue. I definitely see growth in her writing style. Grey maintained the suspense level with out allowing the romance aspect to overshadow it. I look forward to the next book Wickingham Way

My Ratings
Characters- Lovable
Writing Style- Good
Plot/Storyline- Suspenseful, Sexy and Alluring
Steam Factor- High/Very Steamy
Overall- I loved it! Read it!

Now go forth and read. Then come tell us about it on Goodreads!

4.5 stars

With the Harbour Falls mystery behind them, Adam and Maddy find themselves coming home to Fade Island, after a much needed vacation. Things start to finally feel normal again for the happy couple, till Maddy finds an unexpected letter from her one-time-friend Ami Hensley, who's resides at Willow Point, a place for treating mental issues. But Ami has evidence that could quite possibly put Adam in danger. So naturally, the forever-curious Maddy Fitch goes to extreme measures to uncover the truth to protect the man she loves, even if it means breaking her own heart to do it. But Maddy ends up stumbling on more then she ever thought possible.

You know, I keep saying I'm not a really big mystery fan, but the more books I read in this genre, the more of a fan I become. Grey's Harbour Falls series is addicting and fun and filled with an eerie energy that consumed me from start to finish. It felt nice to come back to a familiar world, almost like I never left. Grey has an uncanny way she moves these characters against the story line. It flowed naturally but it's intricately calculating at the same time and the pace is perfectly punched, giving us enough time to collect the clues right along with Maddy.

I'm not going to talk to much about the plot, but I will say that I loved what Grey did with it. There was a lot of twist and turns in this one that I wasn't sure where Grey was taking us next, which is half the fun with these kind of books. It was very cleverly worked, shocking and even got down right creepy.
The other fun half of these books, would be the off-the-charts heat between Adam and Maddy that left me completely breathless. Grey really stepped it up a notch with the sexy-times. It was deliciously written.

Adam Ward is such a maddening in-control character that apart of me wasn't sure if I wanted to strangle or straddle him. He's always been a complex man. The 'all or nothing, take me as I am' kinda man with seductively charming dominating tendencies, but he also has his warm moments. He definitely knows how to get under your skin.
Maddy's curiosity is gonna kill her one day, I swear. A heart of gold this one, but her overly developed need to solve long and buried secrets is her undoing. I love her determination and her flare but I think she may have went a little overboard in this one when she did something that made me want to shake her. Hard. It didn't last long, but still, I was a little surprised that she took it that far.
Together, these two have such an intoxicating relationship that has been tested time and time again, but the results are always the same. They're undeniable.
We're introduced to a new character in this one. Stowe, was made for some interesting and entertaining angst as well as heated up the plot in a totally unpredictable direction. I'm looking forward to seeing what he has in store for us in the next book.

Overall, Willow Point was a great installment in the Harbour Falls trilogy. It has everything I love in my escape. Heart pounding whodunit mystery and suspense, strong solid writing, and sexy-as-sin characters that will steal the entire show. The ending leaves us on a good note, but it does line us up and leave us hanging for the next book; Wickingham Way. I can't wait to see where Grey takes this mystery and these characters next!!

(Special thanks to Susie for sharing her story with me in exchange for an honest review. Your killing me girl! Love this!)

ARC supplied by S.R.Grey in return for an honest review.
I love mystery/crime/suspense stories. So, it's no secret that I was overly excited to get to this second book as soon as I could. THANK YOU Susie for an ARC of your book.

What I liked about this book:
1. Crime solving aspect.
2. We FINALLY learn what Adam's job is.
3. We learn Adam's secrets. (SHOUTS out loud: YES!!!)
4. I love how Maddy is written in this book.
5. Some answers finally come to light.
6. The Twists & Turns

Maddy is her usual curious self. She's not one to back down from solving a mystery and that's exactly what most of this book is about: Maddy putting herself on the line to solve secrets that surround Adam and their friends. (She reminded me a lot of Nancy Drew while reading this book.)

This book had some good twists and turns and kept me on my toes guessing as to what was to come next. I was glad to see most of my questions from Harbour Falls answered as well as finally learning what Adam did for a living, as well as his secrets.

I will say that this book focused more on solving clue's then it did on Maddy and Adam's love life. (Which in no way was a bad thing.) There are a couple of steamy moments that will keep the readers happy, but it's not the main focus. However, these two do have some things to work on in their relationship. Trust issue's being at the top of the list and not keeping secrets being the second on that list.

I do have to warn the readers that this book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but don't be too upset, as it's NOT a relationship cliffhanger. It's just a good way to start off the next book in this series on a suspenseful note. ;)

And finally, a last bit of information before I end this review: I felt Adam was a bit too broody, jerky and reared his jealousy side once again. I wanted to jump in the book and say: Adam, please bring me back your charming, playful, flirty, sexy self and check your jerky, broody, jealousy at the door.

Be on the look out for book 3, Wickingham Way.
I'll be anxiously waiting to find out what happens in this new installment of Harbour Falls Mystery.

Favorite quote from this book:
"He offered me his free hand, clear blue eyes sparkling. "Come on... let's go find ourselves the perfect tree." I took his hand and leaned into his shoulder. Didn't he know I'd go anywhere with him?"

[Lucia · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Once again my world was being turned upside down. I could feel it. I imagined a giant hourglass being turned with me in it. I just hoped I didn't end up burried."

My Maddy and Adam:


After solving Harbour Falls Mystery in previous book, Maddy is content and concentrates on writing her new book. Until she receives this very cryptic letter from one of her ex-friend who is currently locked up at Willow Point. It seems like Adam Ward was not completely honest with Maddy and there are other secrets he is still hiding. What prize will Maddy have to pay to find out the truth?



This second instalment focuses on Willow Point - facility for criminally insane. Sounds creepy, right? And it was. Get ready for a dangerous ride!

Once again, Maddy is very lovable heroine. Maybe I wasn't happy with all her decisions and her extreme curiosity and stubborness caused her plenty of troubles but I cannot deny that she really grew on me.

Willow Point is once again a very addictive suspenseful story. Be prepared for more secrets and more lies. Plenty of things happened and finally we got answers about this huge secret Adam was hiding. And even though mystery was solved by the end of the book, we got a glimpse of what is going to happen in final instalement and I am seriously excited to read it!

Sharon's Book Nook - Willow Point Review

I loved Willow Point just as much as Harbour Falls. It had me intrigued from the very first page and stands up to the quality of writing/story telling that was shown in Harbour Falls.

Whilst reading Willow Point it had me guessing the whole time and the twists and turns in this book made it hard to put down. I just had to see what happened next. One of the best things about this story is that all the loose ends are tied up by the end and the only thing that leaves you waiting for answers is the cliff hanger that is thrown out there at the very end. Which will make for an interesting third book.

I was pleased that there was more insight into the world of Adam Ward in this book and Maddy, was her usual curious self who can't help but look into situations that centre around Adam, especially if they put him and her friends in danger.

There wasn't as much romance between Maddy and Adam in this one but there certainly is a few steamy scenes between them that won't leave you disappointed. :-)

The ending was great and now I'm waiting with great anticipation for the third book Wickingham Way to be released.

Enjoy!

A fabulous sequel to my favourite story this year, Harbour Falls. As soon as I started reading I was back into the zone and didn't want to stop until I finished (my test for a great book). I did guess the gist of the mystery when it was bang on 50%, but not the full details. There was one crucial part of the whole thing which I was really disappointed with- it's on par with those 'it was all a dream' plot devices that are sometimes used and it did make me groan. S R Grey is a good enough writer that she could have spent more time thinking of a better resolve to the mystery than that. However, I can't fault her for the way she gets you engrossed in the story, I couldn't put it down. The characters and visuals are all on point and you do feel like Harbour Falls/Fade Island are real places and you'd find this group of people there. Willow Point itself was perfectly ominous, it gave me the creeps just picturing its description and I would have loved there to have been even more menace and eerie-ness depicted in the story. I loved the little clues Ami gave Maddy. The institution and Ami bought a horror element into what was a mystery thriller before, and it really benefited from it (I'm biased cos I love horror :)

The Epilogue of the book positively set up the third and last part of the series to the point where I desperately need to find out what happens next, like now. Hopefully it won't be too long!

If it hadn't have been for the plot device I hinted at above it would have been an easy 5 stars.

4.5 Stars

"Did you really think Adam would allow you to just happen upon the biggest secret of his life?"

Secrets, lies, half-truths, suspense, love, drama, crazy, more secrets, blackmail, truth, questions, betrayal, answers and hot sexy neighbors...

"We were so messed up--keeping secrets from one another."

S.R. Grey, once again, captivated me from the very first page and ended up stealing away hours of my time, sucking me right back into Adam and Maddy's addicting world of drama and suspense. Willow Point is an engaging fun quick romantic suspense read, leaning more towards the mystery aspect, that will keep you guessing.

I want to touch on an issue I had with the first book, the relationship between our main characters. I struggled with Maddy and Adam as a couple in Harbour Falls, it just never felt real since everything about them was based on lies, secrets, and distrust. Due to this, I found it hard to invest in their instalove. I couldn't understand how loving someone was even remotely close to possible when he or she knew absolutely nothing about the other except for the deception portrayed as his or her life. However, not this time around, this time I adored them together. Both Maddy and Adam grew leaps and bounds as individuals and as a couple, showing major character growth throughout Willow Point. Maddy's character saw some quiet changes, while I felt Adam's were more significant. It is in Maddy's blood to follow a trail; if there are answers needing to be found she is all over it no matter the cost. Our heroine still felt the need to hide things from Adam, however, that didn't last too long before she realized that the betrayals were only tearing them apart and began working on strengthening them as a couple, revealing the truth and her mission to him. Adam impressed me the most with his growth, though. Despite the fact that he is a very controlling alpha who will go to the extreme to keep his secrets well hidden, Adam opened up on so many different levels in this book giving us a look at the man beneath the facade. He shared so much more with Maddy, something in book one he would never have felt the need to do even as he professed his love. I enjoyed getting to know him on a deeper level. I also adored the fact that even though he saw through Maddy's BS he went against his nature to give her the space and trust she asked for. This development gave their relationship a maturity that didn't exist previously, allowing the reader to not only connect with them but to also become more invested in their outcome. I saw a difference in these two that felt more honest and believable. Adam and Maddy still have a few quirks here and there, but overall they have learned that love and partnership comes with trusting in each other (which is MAJOR for these two).

"The truth...How ironic, since that was what this was really about."

Finally, I got the answers I needed to all the secrets and questionable behavior that overflowed Harbour Falls! I needed this closure, as it drove me insane that absolutely nothing felt real, everyone and everything felt as though it were an illusion. So many damn secrets, way too many as a matter of fact, no where close to being enough truth, but then what else would you expect when you have as much at stake as these folks do. Their sanity and lives depend on the layers and layers of deceit they have created. One little slip and it all comes crumbling down around them.

I just love S.R. Grey and Willow Point gave me even more reasons to love her writing, (which was written with a much cleaner flow to sentences, editing, conversations, and character development). Thank you, Susie for not only giving me a fresh story with new twists and secrets, but for also answering all of the older ones; I don't know if I could have gone another book with everything left all over the place. So many loose ends are tied up in Willow Point, and there are no questions left unanswered, well except for the very last one that opens up book three for us. I am really looking forward to Wickingham Way, the final installment of this series.

Thank you S.R. Grey for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of Willow Point in exchange for my honest opinion.

4.25 Stars! Nail-biting mystery with lots of secrets, lies, and twists!

S.R. Grey is back with a continuation of her Harbour Falls Mystery series. Willow Point picks up right where the first book ended. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I devoured this story. I found Willow Point to be more nail-biting and edgy than Harbour Falls. The mystery and twists were much more than ever expected!

It all begins when Maddy Fitch receives a cryptic letter from her former friend, Ami. This causes Maddy to start digging for the truth while keeping secrets from Adam. Ahhh, Maddy, I love her and am annoyed by her at the same time. She is reckless and behaves like a bumbling detective when trying to find answers. I'm pretty sure what irritated me the most was that after all that happened in the first book, Adam and Maddy agreed to be honest with each other. However, the secrets and lies continue. Oh, what tangled web she weaves! I must say that a huge part of me loves Maddy's curious side. I really can't fault her for just trying to protect her man. I like Adam and Maddy together. All their scenes together were quite enjoyable. For all you Adam fans, you'll be glad to know that there is more of him in this story. A little more is revealed about him.

Ami is locked up in a facility housing the criminally insane, Willow Point. While not a lot of the story takes place here, the creepiness of Willow Point still provides a somewhat haunting and bone-chilling background. S.R. Grey does a wonderful job at stringing along the reader with bits and pieces of clues. Really, there came a point while reading when I felt I was ready to snap. Then I got to all the twists, turns, and ohmigod moments, goodness! Yep, did not see those coming at all! While Willow Point does not end in a huge cliffhanger, it does leave it wide open for more. I can't wait to see what's in store for us next. Hand me the next book, Wickingham Way, now, please!

If you were a fan of the first book, then you will likely find Willow Point more intriguing than Harbour Falls. If you crave mysteries with unexpected twists, then you might want to give this series a chance.

“I‘d thought mysteries were behind me for now, but apparently they weren’t. Maybe – with Adam in my life – they might always haunt me.”

Willow Point is the sequel to the first book Harbour Falls. The book picks-up where it left off but it also has a recap of what happens in the first book. This part I think was good, to refresh the reader’s mind with what happened in the first book, and great for people who haven’t read the first book but reading Willow Point as a stand-alone.

I like this book better than the first one. The setting itself is creepy enough already, add the mystery and the threatening secrets that each characters keep, just make this story even more so intriguing. Maddy is asked to keep a secret from Adam, but can she keep it? How many can keep a secret???



Every time Maddy goes to the forest in Fade Island gives me the creeps… Every time she drives to Willow Point, an asylum to visit her ex-best friend Ami, just makes me want to scream.



I’m scared for Maddy as she tries to follow the clues and solve the mystery. I’m afraid that her love and need to protect Adam will get her killed. The twists and turns as to whodunnit kept me on the edge of my seat. And, just when you think finally these characters can now breathe and finally have peace there’s another mystery to solve and another danger brewing.



Maddy and Adam’s story just grabbed my attention and glad that my questions were answered. I just love how the answers unraveled and who’s tormenting these characters. I love the other characters in the book as well, and the introduction of Stowe Hannigan (the brother of Adam’s dead fiancée), which stirred up more questions in my head. I can’t wait to find out the answer. This book does end on a little bit of a cliff-hanger but not too much wherein you want to scream your lungs out and get mad about it.

I received this book to give an honest review.

Okay you remember where Harbour Falls left off. It was that HUGE cliffhanger. Well you dive right into it with this one. Maddy and Adam's relationship has skyrocketed, they are living together and of course love each other. When Maddy gets a clue and more into Adam's past, she of course has to find out what it is no matter the consequences. In the process of doing this she ends up keeping secrets which of course we all know piss Adam off. In the first book I did not like Adam as much but in this one he won my heart over, he didn't seem to be as controlling as he was in book one. In Willow Point you get him being more concern and worried, which at the end of the book you will understand why. Let me say this you will of course want to read book three because I know I sure do.

Willow Point is the name of the asylum for the criminally insane, this here is where Maddy gets her clues and finds out the secret in Adam's past that he has tried to hide so well. But as we all know, our past will always come back to haunt us in one way or another.

Maddy goes on a quest to discover the truth of what Adam has been hiding and when she does she gets saved by Stowe who of course you will find out who he is related to, and lets say I didn't even think about that at first.

You are sucked into this book from the beginning and the mystery that Maddy is uncovering just has you on the edge of your seat. There is sexual content that would make this read for a mature audiences.

Another excellent installment in the Harbour Falls Trilogy! Willow Point pulls us right back into the mystery revolving around the enigmatic Adam Ward and his friends from Fade Island. Once again it's up to Maddy to unravel the mystery and save not only the day but the people she loves as well. I absolutely love the characters in this series and they are as interesting and exasperating as ever in Willow Point. I found myself wanting to shake some sense into a few of them more than once. Now add to that mix the new to town mysterious and sexy Stowe stirring up more questions than he answers. I admit I am hooked! If I had any complaint it would be that after that nail biting cliffhanger of an ending I have to wait a whole year to find out what happens next. What is Stowe really up to? Will Maddy be able to save the day again and finally get her happily ever after? I don't know but I certainly can't wait to find out! In my opinion Willow Point and the entire Harbour Falls series is Highly recommended.

[AMS · Rating 5 out of 5]

What does a carved wooden key with the #11 on it, two almost identical news articles, a buried metal box, a spent bullet, a crude painting, and a ring have in common? They are just the many clues that are being sent to Maddy Fitch to solve another mystery that involves the love of her life, Adam Ward and three of their friends.

Willow Point picks up after the Harbour Falls mystery. It is full of twists and turns, lies and secrets; so much so that you wonder who is telling the truth and who isn’t. This story also adds another player to the game with the introduction of Stowe Hannigan, the mysterious brother of the dead girl from Harbour Falls. What are the chances he ends up living next door to Maddy? And, why is he in Harbour Falls after all this time? Maddy knows something isn’t right about his appearance and the fact that he mislead her with his identity.

Add in all the clues being sent to Maddie from her former BFF Ami, who is also in a mental institution, and the twists and turns ensue in this second book from S.R. Grey. Adam Ward is still the ever-elusive playboy who you want to believe can’t be lying but maybe he is. You just don’t know though and that is intriguing. Through it all, I still pulled for him and Maddy to get their act together as a couple.

The book ends on a major cliff hanger too. I refuse to spoil it for readers but I SO look forward to seeing how the lives of Maddy, Adam, and Stowe Hannigan play out in the last book. It’s guaranteed to be a helluva story too given how Willow Point ended. A solid 4.5 stars for me S.R. You definitely know how to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Willow Point, a place you don't ever want to have to go to, but Maddie is drawn there by her former best friend Amy. This book picks up where Harbour Falls leaves off. Maddie and Adam are together, Chelsea's body is found, and Amy is sent to Willow Point for mental help. When Maddie goes to see Amy, a set of clues to Adam's past is once again setting Maddie into detective mode to find out what he is hiding, and how she can help him. With a cast of characters we are getting to know even better, we are taken on a course of twists and turns, seeking answers to things we aren't even sure of until the end! But S.R. Grey has written this so masterfully that it is impossible to stop listening to! Every chapter leads to another twist only to lead you to another turn, and just when you think you may know what Maddie is going to find, the unexpected happens! I love this kind of book, the ones that keep you one the edge of your seat, the energy high and the thrills coming. We do get many answers to a lot of questions, but there is still more to come, and I can't wait! Bring me Adam, Maddie, Amy, Stow, JT, Helena and Nate, I am ready!

Narrated by Kelley Ernst, the book has a suspenseful feel the entire way through! And I love that she consistently is using the same voices from the first book in the series, so I know exactly who is speaking, with the perfect inflection of emotion, whether it's fear or love. Can't wait for book three!

[Fran · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me start by saying.....you're killing me S.R. Grey! I don't want to wait for the next installment of this story...but I guess I will have to :o)

The story continues with Maddy, a writer who delves in deep to get her answers. Her overwhelming curiosity and her need to protect the man she loves, Adam, she dives in head first to try and solve the mystery surrounding him. Secrets from his past continue to follow him and Maddy is hell bent on finding out what those secrets are and how Adam and her friends Helena and Nate are involved.

Her high school best friend Ami leads her through a path of clues and brings her face to face with a very unexpected scenario.

I love the way this author writes. She grips you from page one and takes you through twists and turns until you know you have it figured out and then....BAM!....a whole new facet is introduced and you are back to square one! I was like "What?.....Huh?.....No Way!", throughout this whole story.

I loved Harbour Falls and I loved Willow Point! My only complaint about this series.....the author doesn't write fast enough! LOL! I am definitely a lifetime fan of this author and can't wait to read the 3rd and final book of this series! You rock S.R. Grey!

4.5 Star Review Willow Point (A Harbor Falls Mystery #2)

I listened to this book on audible and was invested right from the start, The narrator did a good job but I did feel that her male voices let it down a little, however having said that it was still an enjoyable listen.

This was a a book filled with secrets and lies. The intrigue and suspense, not to mention the danger kept me on the edge of my seat as I listened to this story.

Will the secrets and lies tear Maddy and Adam apart? Can Maddy trust those around her or are they all lying to her? Will she be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together whilst flying under the radar or will danger loom and put her life and those she loves in jeopardy again? .

There are many twists, turns and surprises in Willow Point as Maddy follows the clues and I have to say that I was taken by surprise on a couple of occasions.

S.R. Grey has done it again! Willow Point continues on from where Habour Falls left off and now Maddy has yet another mystery to solve, which may involve the delicious Adam...

I could not put this book down at all unless absolutely necessary! I just had to keep going to find out what happened next and S.R. kept us all guesssing all the way to the end! What an ending, I have to say.

I cannot wait for the next book for more adventures of Maddy, Adam and the other wonderful characters. I just hope Maddy and Adam get their HEA because after all they've been through I think they deserve it!

Just finished Willow Point and I want to scream.....Part 3 doesn't come out until the Winter...nooooooo!!! Couldn't put the book down, I love all the suspense. Maddy makes me crazy with her snooping, my heart is always racing for her. I wished we had more of the Adam and Maddy romance because I love them as a couple so much. The author does a great job describing everything, You actually can Picture Willow Point and just how eerie Willow Point feels, along with the creepy hotel. For part 3, Wickingham Way in this great mystery/romance series, I beg you for a happily ever after for Maddy and Adam!!!

Maddy Fitch had hoped with the recent break in an unsolved mystery that things would wind down and she and her boyfriend Adam Ward would be able to just enjoy one another. When she receives information that claims Adam has been holding onto a secret that could ruin him, she decides to investigate. A tangled web begins as Maddy digs deeper and now she has to chose whether to trust Adam or not.

The second book in the Harbour Falls Mystery. Another gem from author S.R. Grey. The one thing I like about this series is it always has an unexpected twist that I did not see coming. Looking to hunker down with a good suspense series, this is one to look for.

"Willow Point" is the second book in the 'A Harbour Falls Mystery' series. The book picks up right where the first "Harbour Falls" leaves off and answers most of the questions I had from it. With plenty of twists, turns, mystery and another ending cliffhanger, the author keeps me captivated in this series. I'm really looking forward to the third and final book in the series! Highly recommended!!

This review is based on a complimentary copy from the author which was provided for an honest review.

Second installment even better than the first. The mystery continues and with cliffy at the end, I'm really glad that I can immediately continue on with the end to the trilogy. Love this author's writing style and her characters are so well-defined. This has been a fun series thus far to read. Always keeping me on the edge of my chair. That Adam though -- well, read the series and you'll see what I mean. Thankfully, there's a smart and strong heroine to follow the clues and watch his back.

Audiobook Review: Willow Point (A Harbour Falls Mystery, #2) by S.R. Grey (Author), Kelley Ernst (Narrator)  
Audiobook Review: Willow Point (A Harbour Falls Mystery, #2) by S.R. Grey (Author), Kelley Ernst (Narrator)Get caught up in the mystery of Maddy Finch. She's proven herself a worthy opponent against the shadowy forces of evil. This time it's personal and she will stop at nothing to get to the truth. Even if it means risking her heart. Ernst and Grey are a combination of fearless temptation, dangerous liaisons and scorching romance.

Wow!!! Nice cliffhanger ending, DAM! So, the usual suspects involved Maddy, Adam, Nate, Helena and crazy Ami. Good story, a couple very nice twists, and a great ending. Definitely leaving me wanting more Adam and Maddy. I love the characters and the fact that Maddy can never leave anything alone. This story got my pulse up for sure. I completely enjoyed the story and once again I could not put it down. Congrats Ms. Grey! Looking forward to the final installment.

The mystery continues in book 2. Maddy and Adams relationship is unstable as neither seems to be completely honest with the other. Maddy has more than one admirer in this book and Adam shows his jealous side (and other sides that I very much enjoy ;))! This book keeps you guessing and WARNING this one ends on a cliffhanger. So.....I am impatiently waiting on book 3 to come out- story of my life!

Great mystery!! I am so accustomed to reading romance, this (and the first book in the series) was such a great addition. Great plot... Kept be guessing and on my toes the entire book!!! Loved the characters (still... good progression from 1st book). I am anxious for 3rd book in the trilogy... But worried it is going to kill me with suspense!!!

I always hate to come to the end of a good book! Now I have to wait till the winter for the next! It had been a while since I read Harbour Falls but it all came back to me pretty quickly when I started Willow Point. There were surprising twists and turns in this book and I didn't figure it out at all. The suspense and the romance were awesome!
