Product Description

Product Description

Lyss Brewer is starting the new year in a cheap motel with a wrinkled party dress and mascara stains on her cheeks. No job. No money. And as of New Year's Eve: No boyfriend and no place to live.

Just when everything is going completely wrong, something finally goes right. Lyss is given the chance to start over when she is offered a live-in position at an historic inn. The inn will become her sanctuary, and the colorful characters who work there will become her family. However, Lyss will soon discover that the walls which surround her hold much more than history.

As fear of a serial killer spreads throughout the city of Santa Fe, Lyss begins to wrestle with her own sanity. Is she hallucinating or is she really seeing ghosts? Just when she thinks she's found the connection, her world is turned upside down.

Will Lyss listen to the voices that haunt her? Or will she trust the one person who can't be trusted?

Lyss Brewer starts off the new year a mess - no job, no boyfriend, no place to live, no money and of all places in a motel room.
However her luck quickly changes when she's offered a job at a local inn, not to mention it's a live in position which solves all manner of the aforementioned problems for Lyss. She makes friends fast with most of the staff, they soon become like a family to her and finally everything is going right again.
Soon though the walls of the old inn start to speak to Lyss, as the fear of a serial killer on the loose in Santa Fe spreads throughout the town. Lyss wrestles with her own sanity not knowing if she's going stark raving mad or if she really is seeing ghosts.
Ultimately Lyss needs to decide who to trust - herself, the voices or the real people in her life.

At first I thought Wildflowers Come Back by Sarah Spann was going to be a book that was slow to start - boy was I wrong, you'll get hit with the main plot before you even realise it. It definitely won't take you long to be hooked on the storyline and if I hadn't had things to do in the day, I would have been up all night finishing this book.
I wasn't too sure what to expect from this book - I was worried that the romance in it would over shadow the deeper goings on in the inn at one point but it never did, it just strengthened the story.

Each of the main characters are all very loveable in their own way, and there's definitely a bit of slight angsty, sweet, vulnerable but strong Lyss in everyone. There are some very strong characters in the inn, that Spann brings to life beautifully.
The inn is described in all it's decorative detail - I was walking the halls with Lyss and could picture everything. And the smells from the kitchen - so deliciously described you'll be able to smell them yourself (thinking about it you might want to have a snack near by).

The history of the inn is mapped out very carefully and revealed to the reader all in good time. It's mystery is bigger than you can imagine and I was constantly surprised by things that happened, things that were uncovered and all the new questions that you get with each new discovery.

The end is very open ended, as there will be a sequel which infuriated me (in a good way). I had more questions than when I started reading the book and I can't wait for the sequel - I'll definitely be reading that.

What A Debut! 17 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Wow...I'm not even sure where to start. I've followed this author's short stories weekly on her blog, and ever since I read the first one, I've been captivated by her writing. Her flow is wonderful, and her style - amazing. I've been slowly counting the weeks until the release of her book, and I was thrilled to pick it up. I finally sat down to read it, and when I got through the first few pages today, I didn't stop until I was done. This story sucked me in and I finished it in one sitting.

At first I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought there would be a heavy emphasis on the romantic elements, and being a guy, I usually prefer mystery and suspense. I was wrong; I got exactly what I hoped for, with a taste of the romance as well.

This story took me right into the High Desert Crest Inn and brought with it, the smell of old wood, musky air, and delicious aromas floating from the kitchen, all wrapped up in a buffet of mystery. No sooner did I wonder where this story would take me, did it begin to unfold.

Spann takes mystery to a new level as she unfolds the secrets of the inn. There was suspense around nearly every corner, and she kept me guessing throughout the pages. The characters all floated around me as I was sucked deeper into their world, and the ending left me turning the pages for more.

Often in this genre you get left hanging on the edge, unable to take a breath before the story is over. Spann strives to give you what you want, while leaving you begging for more. She tied all the details together, leaving me feeling the story was complete, but still, with a few words, managed to leave me begging for more. I can't wait to see thrill ride Lyss finds herself in next. Spann is an author I expect big things from.

This book started well but I felt that just as it started to hot up, it fizzled out and ended! It lacked a satisfying ending and left me wondering why I'd bothered reading it. On the plus side, it was well written & proof-read.
