Easter in Edinburgh

The Holiday Adventure Club #3

by Stephanie Taylor

The Holiday Adventure Club is ready to take on Edinburgh for Easter. They land in Scotland at the crossroads of the Edinburgh Science Festival and a Comic Con event, and find themselves sandwiched between scientists and superheroes as they wander the historic streets of Edinburgh.

Lucy's got her hands full this time as she shepherds a trio of girls about to graduate from high school, a man who truly believes he is a superhero, and a couple who've come to Scotland as a last-ditch attempt to save their floundering marriage.

But she's got her own problems to deal with: her mom is in need of more care than Lucy can give at a distance, and her budding relationship with her next-door work neighbor has hit a snag. Can she juggle her personal life with the dynamics of a new group of people?

I really liked this book, more than I did the last book in the series. Lucy was more present in the tour for her clients and I liked the shift in focus to more about Edgar, the Demarcos, and the 3 really immature 18-year-olds. Their stories were interesting. I might not have understood why "the Event" in Dane Demarco's life caused such a change in him for so long, but at least the storyline was followed to a logical conclusion. I was somewhat disappointed in Edgar's storyline, being built up as a "hero" who has something in him that leads him to be in the right place at the right time to save someone (which was really cool, and the way he described how it happened was a little fantastical but it's a novel, so ok) and then when the 3 teenagers get into serious trouble, it doesn't seem to work. Nor did I find the way they went in and rescued the girls to be convincing. But overall, I still enjoyed the book, despite these issues.

Easter in Edinburgh
by Stephanie Taylor

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Travel fiction is not normally a genre I enjoy, but I have to admit that I did enjoy this book. I think it was because it was mainly set in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Scotland is my favourite place in the world.

This book is book three in an eleven book series, and it is the first book that I have read from this set. I found the book very enjoyable, and I didn't have a problem with keeping up with the story, not the characters without reading the previous books.

A heartwarming tale of love, relationship issues, long lost loves, rebellious teenage girls and more, the book was beautifully written and had a few laugh out loud moments.

The only things that I didn't enjoy about the story was a few hiccups about Edinburgh itself, but if you are not familiar with the city, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. I think that is just me being a bit stuck up 😂

I started reading this series last year and completely forgot about them until I stumbled on the books on kindle unlimited.

Ive got right back into reading them and thoroughly enjoyed this little adventure to Edinburgh. The way the author writes you actually feel like you are on the trip.

Now to try and complete the rest of the series before my kindle unlimited trial expires at the end of this month 😜

Lucy has her hands full in Scotland with a man who goes around saving people, a couple trying to make their marriage work, a trio of scatty teenage girls who don't want to sit around with oldies preferring the bikies they've befriended but it's the oldies who go to their rescue. Her Mum isn't well and her friend Nick suggests he will pop over to keep an eye on her Mum for her. She likes Nick but also likes Dev .....

I am enjoying this series. Author has really expanded the characters. In each new story, new characters (along with the regulars). They all have something going on in their own lives that many of us could relate to. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. One big "family" reunion at the end??

therapist

In Edinburgh we saw how Lucy was dealing with her groups dynamic ages. I liked how she got involved without being pushy with her authority. I admire Lucy’s take on how to be a group leader. She takes her role seriously even at times being a friend and therapist.

Topics in this one are a bit grittier than some of the others, and the romance gets more entangled. I like that the MC has real world issues to deal with (aging parents, emotional baggage, etc) as it makes her more relatable and real.

needs more Easter and Edinburgh

The characters and plot are good but, as with the previous books in this series, I wish there was more about the location and the holiday. I was expecting chocolate bunnies in the windows as they strolled down the Royal Mile while cute redheaded children giggled in their Easter bonnets and kilts.
