Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Forever Home by Sally Royer-Derr due to be published July 16, 2024.
Aimee and Archie have moved into their dreamhouse – an historic farmhouse where she hopes they will grow old together. Then, when strange things start happening, Aimee wonders if her past is catching up to her. Can she protect her new life?
The Forever Home alternates between the present and several years back when Aimee was a member of commune and her then friends.
What a wild ride – twists and turns and more. Lots of double crossings, surprises, and the ending was shocking. Couldn’t put it down, and I highly recommend this one!

Aimee and Archie, married for just a year, are very much in love. Now a woman of means after the tragic death of a rich aunt, Aimee has purchased the house/farm of their dreams. Archie has secured a role as a teacher at the local school and Aimee’s plans are to build up the farm and sell the produce at a small store in the local town. All is going well until Aimee’s past starts to catch up with her.

A storyline with good prospects. Not a new idea, but one to catch the imagination. Sadly the writing lets the plot down. Very repetitive and underwhelming, at times it was a struggle to keep interested.

On the positive side it is a quick, easy read, perfect for holiday reading, and there was a bit of a twist, though not entirely unexpected.
