Upon a Mystic Tide (the Seascape Trilogy)

Parts of this book were deeply emotional and poignant. Not all of it was disappointing. The town and the characters in it were just as charming as they were in the first book, and the plot threads surrounding the missing persons case John's been stuck on for years were interesting, if a little too abruptly resolved.

The writing, too, was just as strong and the magic just as warm and heartening. Unfortunately, not even all of that could balance out how much I disliked the relationship conflict or how disappointed I was in the main characters and their romance. But it did leave me with hope for the next book. I'll go in with fewer expectations, maybe, but I do believe the magic can be recaptured. This rating, review, and all included thoughts and comments are my own.

I found book two easier to follow and understand since I knew what was going on at the end. Although references are made to the characters in book one it does not distract from Upon a Mystic Shore. I got to visit the beautiful Maine scenery and Miss Hattie and the others again and I did not have to drive eleven hundred miles now that is magical.

I would love to stay at the Seascape Inn for a long and relaxing vacation. Since that is not possible I will visit through the Seascape Trilogy. I look forward to reading Beside a Dreamswept Sea the last book in the Trilogy. Barnes and Noble link: The Reading Room link: Well scince I cried in it I have to say I was feeling this story.

Jan 31, Sandra Stiles rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is the second book in the trilogy. In this book we meet psychologist Bess and her investigator husband John. The biggest problem here is one that is so ironic. Bess and John are in the process of a divorce.

You would think that Bess, as an on air radio psychologist, who gives out advice daily, wold be able to find a way to straighten out her own marriage.

See a Problem?

You would think that John who has been over zealous in trying to solve a case would have gotten the clues that his marriage was in troubl This is the second book in the trilogy. You would think that John who has been over zealous in trying to solve a case would have gotten the clues that his marriage was in trouble. But, neither of them did this. For many this may be a sticking point. For me I see it as a way of setting this wonderful story up. I chalk it up to the fact that they were working so hard to keep other people from knowing the truth about them that they were blinded to solutions.

John still loves Bess and both of them end up at Seascape Inn.

Bess end up there after seeing the painting in a gallery and John follows her to square some things away. Hattie and the townspeople we met in the very first book are there to add the local color and flavor to the book.

Of course a lot of this would not have happened if it hadn't been for John, the resident ghost helping things along. After all he is the one who made things known on air during one of Bess's shows about her divorce, something she'd kept secret not only from her listeners but also from her boss. Like the first book, it is packed with emotions and the hope that things will work out for our two main characters. But, as you read you see Bess kicking the whole journey.

Will their relationship be healed? This is a book you must read to find the answer to the question, because I won't give it away. Feb 05, Janga rated it liked it. Bess particularly seems immature at times; I found it difficult to believe that a professional with her credentials would behave as she does. John is the second hero who is moved to tears a bit too frequently for my taste.
