Release date - 27th July 2017
Book length - 294 pages Publisher - www.hideawayfall.com ABOUT THE BOOK 'Family curses don't exist. Sure, some families seem to suffer more pain than others, but a curse? An actual curse? I don't think so.' A family tragedy was the catalyst for Ian Perkins to return to the isolated cottage with his wife and young son. But now they are back, it seems yet more grief might befall the family. There is still time to act, but that means Ian must face the uncomfortable truth about his past. And in doing so, he must uncover the truth behind the supposed family curse. MY REVIEW Hideaway Falls is a brand spanking new Publisher and they have leapt out of the starting blocks with this compelling, contemporary novel that has an eerie quality that will set a reader on edge throughout. When tragedy strikes, Ian Perkins and his young family return to his childhood home in the middle of nowhere, and while the place contains many happy memories, it is not long before the darkness that is held within starts to seep into their lives. Determined to find a way to change the curse that haunts his family, Ian throws himself into researching his family tree in the hope that he will find an answer. But as the past is uncovered, will they be able to confront their own demons along the way? BROKEN BRANCHES by M. Jonathan Lee is a relatively short read and I read it in one evening. While this book is not suspense or horror, there is a dark foreboding presence that hangs on every page giving a really creepy quality to the story. This book moves at a slower pace than most stories but this works to its advantage as it builds up the tension little by little, and switching from past to present throughout really held my attention. BROKEN BRANCHES by M. Jonathan Lee is a good solid story and I look forward to more from this author, and this new Publisher. Author Bio: M. Jonathan Lee (also known as Jonathan Lee) was born in 1974. He is an award-winning novelist who has had two novels in the #10 Amazon charts.
