No Place Too Far: standing firm and fighting back

No Place Too Far by Kay Bratt is the second book in the new By the Sea series. In this story, readers return to beautiful Maui as Quinn’s friend, Maggie Dalton, begins to renew her life with her son, Charlie, on the island after her stalker was sentenced to prison. Maggie begins a new job at a local vet clinic with the handsome Dr. Joe Starr and meets the eccentric staff including Juniper, the no nonsense receptionist with brightly colored hair and a nose ring. As she begins to live again and find new friends, her worst fears come to life as her stalker may have been able to find her again despite being in prison. Just as Maggie is learning to deal with this possibility, Quinn is adjusting to reuniting with her family as well as her new relationship with Liam. When a reporter threatens Quinn’s new life on the island, her only solution is to run. Has Maggie’s stalker truly found her on Maui? Will he attempt to come to the island? Will Quinn run or will she stay and fight for her new family and home?

No Place too Far is an awesome sequel to True to Me and I enjoyed following up with Quinn and her story as well as learning more about her long-time friend, Maggie. Maggie’s story with a stalker is creepy and eerie and I can only imagine the paralyzing fear that she and victims of stalking must deal with during the stalking and in the aftermath. In this digital world of email, social media and more and more of life existing through online connections, it is easy for someone to find another person and it makes it extremely hard for someone to truly hide. I enjoyed all the new characters especially Joe and Juniper. I look forward to see them along with Quinn and Maggie in book 3 and beyond in the By the Sea series. Overall, No Place Too Far is about standing firm and fighting for yourself, your loved ones, and your freedom. I highly recommend No Place Too Far!

True to Me: an adventure of self-discovery

True to Me by Kay Bratt is the first book in the By the Sea series. It is the story of Quinn Maguire who is sent on a mission to Maui to fulfill her mother’s dying wish and discover the truth about her mother’s dying declaration. Life for Quinn was perfect. She had a great job, a handsome fiancé, and a clear plan for her future. When her mother tells her that the man, she thought was her father really isn’t, Quinn is unsure where to turn next. On an impulse, she buys a cottage on Maui and decides to renovate it while trying to untangle the truth behind her mother’s declaration. While on the island, she meets a local family who has fallen on hard times and makes fast friends with the locals who show her what true hospitality is. With the help of the locals, she discovers the truth behind who her father is, and the truth is stranger and more dramatic than she ever imagined! What will Quinn do once she discovers the truth? Will she return to the life and fiancé she left behind? Or will the lure and magic of the island draw her in?

True to Me is another Kay Bratt story that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. From the open page to the final scene, you are on this journey with Quinn. One thing I will say is I found it hard to like Quinn at certain points in the story. There were times I wish I could reach into the pages and shake Quinn and tell her to be a bit more sympathetic and not to be so mean. Other times I wanted to scream at her to open to eyes and to stop being such a fool. Eventually she does come around and stars to fight for what she wants and needs. Overall, True to Me is a great story about family, community and forgiveness. I highly recommend it!
