He’s a reclusive writer whose macabre imagination creates chilling horror novels. She’s a down-on-her-luck actress reduced to staging kids’ puppet shows. He knows a dozen ways to kill with his bare hands. She knows a dozen ways to kill with laughs.
But she’s not laughing now. When she was a teenager, he terrified her. Now they’re trapped together on a snowy island off the coast of Maine. Is he the villain she remembers or has he changed? Her head says no. Her heart says yes. It’s going to be a long, hot winter
REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts How Annie Hewitt got her groove back.
It started with the death of her mother and a required trip to Peregrine Island. A trip she is making under duress, not only fulfill the terms of her mothers agreement with Mr. Harp but also to find what her mother called “her legacy”. To say that Annie is thrilled would be an understatement. But a girl has to do what she has to do to survive. And that means facing the demons of her past.
Blood and gore are Theo Harps lime light.
Theo is back on Peregrine Island to write a follow up book to his wildly popular horror novel. But nothing is going right for him. Exceptionally now that Annie Hewitt is back on the island. But as hard as he tries Theo can’t stay away from her.
I am ashamed to say that this was my first Susan Elizabeth Phillips book and the first book that I listened to that was narrated by Erin Bennett. I was fortunate enough to get a copy of Hero’s are my Weakness from the publisher and started reading. Then I found it on audible. Since I had a long drive in front of me I picked up the audio version too. So I got to read and listen to this book. I will say that on the audio version the puppets were just a tad bit freaky in the beginning. But I grow to love them just as much as I loved Theo & Annie. But I think at times the puppets took over a little too much. But it worked. I am very happy that I read/listened to this book. I look forward to more of Susan’s books and I will be watching for more books narrated by Erin.
Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book from Harbor Collins along with the audio version I purchased from Audible in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and not a paid review.
