Hotel on Shadow Lake
Hotel on Shadow Lake: A Novel | Daniela Tully
11 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
Suspenseful and compelling, Daniela Tullys Hotel on Shadow Lake is at once an intricate mystery, an epic romance, and a Gothic family saga. When Maya was a girl in Germany, her grandmother was everything to her: teller of magical fairy tales, surrogate mother, best friend. Then, shortly after Mayas sixteenth birthday, her grandmother disappeared without a trace, leaving Maya with only questions to fill the void. Twenty-seven years later, her grandmothers body is found in a place she had no connection to: the Montgomery Resort in upstate New York. How did she get there? Why had she come? Desperate for answers, Maya leaves her life in Germany behind and travels to America, where she is drawn to the powerful family that owns the hotel and seemingly the rest of the town. Soon Maya is unraveling secrets that go back decades, from 1910s New York to 1930s Germany and beyond. But when she begins to find herself spinning her own lies in order to uncover the circumstances surrounding her grandmothers death, she must decide whether her life and a chance at true love are worth risking for the truth.

Mehso-so

I liked the idea behind this book, which is told from the perspective of a young woman in 1940's Germany and her granddaughter 75ish years later after the missing grandmother's body is discovered in an unlikely location. What I didn't like was how forced the plot felt. There were too many coincidences that were relied upon by the author to make the story come together. Overall, I enjoyed, but did not love this one.

Still trying to figure out time management with the new job & yesterday was insane, so finally getting this review up. There's a lot of story packed into this short historical mystery. I enjoyed the dual perspectives-grandmother & granddaughter-especially the Germany in WWII view. Good twists that kept me guessing the final outcome. Paired with Trout with Almonds & Butter-Parsley Fingerling Potatoes for my book tour review.🤗Review/recipe link👇🏻

Saturday & a 3-day weekend which makes me very 😃Week 3 of the new job is done & starting to settle in & finish up the remaining client projects that have been taking up my non-work time-so hopefully things will calm down a bit. Blood tests this morning 😱& now I'm at my happy place, neighborhood coffee shop doing some blogging & starting this book for review. Thought I ordered deviled avocado with GF bread-but got avocado toast. Either way it's😋

Whoa! This book was so unusual—part WWII historical fiction, part thriller. I have to say it had me guessing and turning the pages along the way. It took a little to get into and while the writing style was very matter of fact, the story flowed so well it was hard not to get swept up in it. Great debut!

This was definitely a pick for me since it combines mystery, murder, family drama and two storylines that ultimately connect. One of them set in Germany right before the start of WWII. This is heading your way @shellleigh33 ! #LMPBC #GroupZ #Round3 @Velvetsun @cherinium

shellleigh33 🙌🏻I‘ll be on the look out for it. Can‘t wait to read it @Lidia!! 6y

#pagehabit opening! I chose the historical fiction genre. I got the tagged book, socks, a cute pencil with an kitty, and a bookmark with a Victor Hugo quote. There was also a letter from the author and there are post-it note annotations in the book. I like the charity aspect as well. If you‘d like to check it out here is the link: https://pagehabit.com/accept-invite?inviter=130590&platform_id=00&product_id=936...
