The House on Harbor Hill by Shelly Stratton


The House on Harbor Hill by Shelly Stratton
Published March 27, 2018

This was my second box from Once Upon a Book Club book subscription box. Another book where the cover, the title, even the synopsis would not automatically draw me in. The experience of the box though and the book itself was 4 stars!

So downside to the box, it is a small company that has their issues with vendors. The box per their site should have shipped out by the 17th but several days later they were still waiting on the last gift to arrive. So if it was my first box, and due to the high price, this would have been nerve wracking and a little upsetting. That set aside though, the gift was worth the wait.

The House on Harbor Hill is told in present and past. It has a love story, murder mystery, racial prejudice and domestic abuse. Delilah Grey is an outcast in her small town, she takes in abused woman that are down on their luck and shelters them until they can get back on their feet. Tracey is invited to be one of those women. She is trying to escape a desperate situation with her two young children in tow. As Delilah learns more about Tracey’s struggle, Tracey learns more about Delilah and her dark past.

This book flew past. I was interested and wanting to know both ladies stories and wishing that they had happy endings. Reading as part of the Once Upon a Book Club box just adds that extra special touch as you open the gifts. Check out my Instagram for photos reveals!
