The question is, is it too late to find a way out or is she trapped in this picture perfect town forever? She just isn’t sure what.Īs the weeks go on, and her baby grows inside her, Joan starts to uncover the towns dark secrets – as well as those of her fiancé’s family. After being welcomed with open arms and given a house and a job, Joan knows she should feel grateful. A young woman, pregnant and disillusioned with her life in Chicago, takes her fiancé up on his offer to move to his hometown, a place that seems picture perfect – at least on the surface. Thankfully, it went the right way with a clever mix of mystery, suspense and a little bit of light horror (think Rosemary’s baby, which is obviously an inspiration for this book). My thoughts on Bloodline…Īn Amazon ‘First Read’, Bloodline is one of those books that sounds good on paper (at least to me) but could have gone either way (as First Read’s are often want to do). Then again, she might have moved to the deadliest small town on earth. Her fiancé tells her she’s being paranoid. And unless Joan is imagining things, a frighteningly familiar figure from her past is on watch in the shadows. So does the sinister secret of a little boy who vanished decades ago.
An archaic organization still seems to hold the town in thrall. Joan can’t shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. Lilydale’s motto, “Come Home Forever,” couldn’t be more inviting.Īnd yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village. After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she’s eager to settle down. In a tale inspired by real events, pregnant journalist Joan Harken is cautiously excited to follow her fiancé back to his Minnesota hometown.
