Mystic Ridge
Lucy Lever
Reviewed by Helen
This is a wonderful debut novel for Lucy Lever, she certainly pulled me into the story from the start, I felt many emotions reading this one, from frustration to joy and everything in between which for me makes a great author. There are many characters in this one, Claire the tarot card reader, single mum to Zoe, Leo, new to town and a journalist then there is Jake someone from Claire’s past who is back in town dad to Charlotte, needless to say they are all worth meeting.
Claire lives in Northern New South Wales on the on the edge of Mystic Ridge a rainforest, she and her daughter and lot of people in town live an alternative lifestyle and they love it Claire is working hard to regenerate the rainforest and save the endangered trees growing there, she loves her tarot cards and has a big heart, but when she gets wind of someone, someone she knows wanting to bulldoze the rainforest Claire pulls out all stops to stop it.
Leo meets Claire at the local markets and gets his tarot cards read this is something very new for Leo and he has no idea why he did it only that he does now know how attracted to Claire he is, he has moved to Lillypilly to start afresh, can he put his past behind him or has she come with him, as the journalist at the local paper, soon he and Claire are both fighting the chemistry between them and doing all they can to save Mystic Ridge.
Will Claire and Leo find their way to happiness with Jake making waves, will they save Mystic Ridge? This story has lots going on and lots of wonderful characters, including Zoe, Charlotte and Liam you must meet them they are fresh and open and I loved them, add to that a music star Indigo, Claire’s best friend and this story was fun and exciting, it is a lovely romance and one that I do highly recommend and I am looking forward to more from Lucy Lever.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
