This is a delightful, warm and cosy read. Liz always writes such heart warming books and never fails to disappoint.

While this is book six of the series, it was easily read as a standalone. I slipped into the cosy village of Heaven Cove without thinking I was missing something. It was a lovely location to escape to while catching up with the to sisters, Caitlin and Isla.

Told in three POV, this novel told the story of two sisters and Maisie, Caitlin’s step daughter. While close as children, the two very different sisters had become estranged but the family riddle left in the will promised to change that. I loved this premise and how the riddle solving allowed them to delve into their family tree and its mysterious history. The past blended effortlessly with the present encouraging reflection, female solidarity and healing.

Maisie’s POV added a intergenerational perspective of the situation and Caitlin’s present. It highlighted how easy misunderstandings can occur in all relationships and the wider consequences these have. While I enjoyed getting to know all them, there were times I wanted to reach into the book and scold them for the decisions they were making, but that is what happens in when you connect to the characters and you begin to care for them.

The idyllic village provided a perfect atmospheric foundation for the story and a strong cast of secondary local and visiting characters, including potential love interests in Ben. Connie as a personality shone and I’d love to read more about her in a starring role.

Would I recommend?
Yes, this is a heart warming family drama with reconciliation and family at its heart. All storylines made me turn the page, especially those of Maisie who peppered the story with teenage angst reflecting the sisters’ own teenage years which fuelled the secrets damaging their relationship. The riddle is something I’ll remember for a long time. I’ve now added Liz Eeles back catalogue to my TBR pile.

I absolutely love this series and although this book can be read as a standalone, I can heartily recommend reading the previous books. This book features two sisters that have been distant over the years and not just by physical miles. They are reunited when their grandmother sadly passes away, leaving them the house they grew up in along with an intriguing puzzle to be solved. A absolutely brilliantly written, captivating story that I devoured in record time. Thanks netgalley for an advanced copy of this book for my review.

Isla has recently lost your beloved grandmother Jessie. Isla cared for her grandmother when her sister Caitlin left Heaven’s Cove. Isla is hoping to reconnect with Caitlin now that Jessie is gone. But when Caitlin decides she wants to sell the lovely little cottage that they spent their childhood in, Isla wants nothing to do with her. When Jessie’s will is read Isla and Caitlin are surprised to receive envelopes with riddles inside. They must solve the puzzles together as sisters. When Isla meets Ben in the village they are immediately attracted to each other. And with long walks on the beach Isla discovers that Ben was a relative of Jessie. Was he there intentionally or was it fate that brought them together?

The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea by author Liz Eeles is a wonderful escape back to Heaven’s Cove. Heaven’s Cove is one of my most favorite places to visit. With its picturesque views of the sea and the amazing little village, I am always happy to return. Eeles describes Heaven’s Cove perfectly and it makes me never want to leave. This amazing story had the perfect plot twists at the perfect time. When you least expect it and think you have it all figured out, the story changes. This read in one sitting book is exactly the escape I needed. This emotional and heartwarming book is an absolute must read that I highly recommend.

Two sisters who haven’t spoken to each other for years are drawn together by their grandmothers last wishes. Her final message to them is riddle that they need to solve per their grandmothers request. Will they be able to renew their relationship? Will they find peace within themselves? Can they be a family once again?
Family secrets, renewing relationships, romance and so much more await you when reading The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea. Though part of a series, you can definitely read this as a standalone.
Liz Eeles writes an emotional, heartbreaking and heartfelt story that pulled at my heartstrings.
Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is such a beautiful and heartwarming read. It is part of the Heaven's Cove series, book 6, but it can be read as a standalone novel. It's such a wonderful series though and I recommend that you read all of them.
This book introduces us to some new characters, as well as catching up with the previous characters. There is a family mystery to solve, as well as delving into the history of Heaven's Cove, which I really enjoyed reading about. I will really miss this series when it finally ends.
There is emotion, family drama and romance and lots of secrets. I really enjoyed reading this book. I wanted to read it in one sitting, but sadly real life got in the way, so I had to read it over 2 days. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

I loved this book, it had alot of emotion running through it sometimes sad and sometimes happy. I loved the mystery about this story and desperately wanted them to solve the puzzles. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I love this cover! It’s a quick story about two sisters at different paths in their life. Both coming to terms with their loss and where to go from here.
It’s a lovely story set in a nice sounding location. I liked the characters and the little mystery their Gram set for them.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalkey for an early review copy.

I have enjoyed reading each book in this series.

In this book, we meet up with the characters from previous books as well as meet some new ones too.

After her grandmother passes away and she finds out that her husband has an addiction to gambling, meaning he’s lost the house they live in, Caitlin is back in Heavens Cove

Isla cared for her grandmother in the cottage until she died.

Both Caitlin and Isla haven’t been that close to each other, and after her death, their grandmother leaves them a riddle to solve, hoping that it’ll bring them closer.

I would love to know how the story progresses.

I highly recommend this book.

The Sisters At The Last House Before The Sea by Liz Eeles is an absolutely beautiful contemporary novel. It is the sixth book in the Heaven’s Cove series but can be read as a stand-alone.
The novel is about family. Family may be blood related or brought together by love. Family love us despite our faults. Family stick by one another. We see two sisters thrown back together by the death of their grandmother. Life is awkward at first but gradually old bonds are rebuilt.
We see the difficult position of a fifteen year old step daughter. She is trying to find her place in life but is troubled. Her life is continually built on shifting sand and she does not know where she belongs. The location of Devon offers her more freedom than her stifling London life.
A character is gaslighted by her partner. She is oblivious to the mental torment he is inflicting. The reader can clearly see what is happening. Our hearts are broken by cruel barbs to the character who is a kind and gentle soul.
There is a mystery to solve from a century ago. Enquiries about a long-dead relative open some exciting new doors.
Liz Eeles has perfectly captured the Devon landscape, the community-minded village and the wild, untamable sea. The whole tale was enchanting.
This was my first book by Liz Eeles but I want to read much more by her. I am sad that the book is ended. It feels like I have just said goodbye to dear friends rather than read a book.
I received a free copy from the publishers. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

I loved these women and loved their resiliance and their strength. They were gold medal at choosing what or who was going to cause the biggest damage but they were also able to change and improve their life.
I was moved, I smile, I rooted for the sisters.
A good story, poignant and full of emotion. It's perfect if you want to cry buckets and smile after crying.
As my grand used to say I had a lot of fun: cried buckets.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Every once in a while, I find a story that I become invested in the characters' lives so much that I want it to continue forever. The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea by Liz Eeles is just such a book.

The characters are relatable, though wow, do they make bad choices. The sisters, Isla and Caitlin, sure can pick the worst of the bunch, which is nothing short of tragic. So, to watch them become empowered and realize some things about their lives need to change warmed my heart and made me feel like anything is possible.

I also enjoyed the mystery of their dead grandmother's riddle, and going on the journey with the sisters as they discovered a past ancestor and eventually solved the riddle is absolutely compelling. I love a good riddle, and one that takes the characters on a journey to solve a mystery from the past is even better. It kept the pace at a consistent medium level, which never felt bogged down.

Now, if I could only follow them and see how their changes panned out! They and their story captivated me enough to honestly want to know.

Although part of a series, I found that The Sisters at the Last House Before The Sea worked perfectly as a standalone book. It took me a few chapters to get into the story, but then I was fully invested and remained that way all the way to the end.

The action takes place in a village in Devon, England, called Heaven’s Cove, and centers around two semi-estranged sisters, Isla and Caitlin, who are grieving the loss of their grandmother, Jessie. Caitlin hasn’t been around Heaven’s Cove much since she left 15 years earlier and has been living in London with her husband and stepdaughter Maisie. Isla stayed in the village and has been Jessie’s caretaker. Unbeknownst to Isla, Caitlin’s husband has put them in a financially precarious situation.

Jessie, a lover of puzzles, has left a riddle for the sisters to solve, which drives the events of the story. Isla has a domineering boyfriend, who I absolutely could not stand! I kept wanting to shout at Isla to get rid of him! I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but this is a romance and I enjoyed anticipating happy endings for each sister.

The mystery involved with the riddle gave this book a little extra something beyond “just” the romance.

A special delight was the portrayal of Maisie, a 15-year-old. I felt the author got her just right, with all the angst and insecurities that teens experience, especially modern teens who have to deal with social media on top of everything else. Another excellent aspect was the descriptions of the area, from the wild wintry sea to the moors. You really got a feel for the area.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read an advance readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Another wonderful read in this series,I picked it up to read a few pages and wound up reading late into the night.Loved the English coastal setting the two sisters felt transported to their lives their world.#netgalley #bookouture

What a powerful transforming family story! The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea is book six of the Heaven’s’ Cove series by Liz Eeles. I have loved every one of these mesmerising gems but this one holds an extra special place in my heart with its even greater complex mystery and moving themes. But before I even started reading the story, I fell in love with the gorgeous cover. It is a true reflection of the inside, too. The beautiful descriptions, memorable characters and riveting plot match the vivid, uplifting and breathtaking scenery and colours on the outside. The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea took me on a heart-warming journey to Heaven’s Cove once again, made me shed numerous tears and then set a smile on my face at the end. Each character is wonderfully distinct. They all have different personalities —making each one a stand-out. In fact, the whole delightful package is extremely memorable.

This story is about two sisters, Caitlin and Isla who have been apart and not spoken for many years. They are brought back together through the death of their grandmother, Jessie. They harbour many secrets from each other. But Jessie had a plan to draw these two sisters close again (as they used to be). She leaves behind a riddle for them to solve forcing them to work together. This is made known in her will. A most intriguing mystery that involves a relative of her family (Edith) from the early 1900s. There is also a letter from a man (William) to his beloved (Jessie’s, Caitlin’s and Isla’s ancestor). This couple from the opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean (England and United States) have an intriguing love story that needs to be uncovered. Little do the sisters know, there are lessons to be learned from the experience and life-changing knowledge gained. Yet Jesse’s riddle is a tough one and there’s not much to go on in the letter! I won’t give anything away but it is very clever and original plot.

Fifteen years earlier, Caitlan moved away to London as she was trying to escape her life in Heaven’s Cove. She wanted a fresh start; distance from the heavy responsibilities she once carried. But in leaving, she abandons not only her family but someone else she loves. Unfortunately, her life does not turn out as well as she had hoped. She is married to a man who has some serious issues and her step-daughter is not the friendliest. But Caitlin is committed to being a wife and stepmother. Her sense of guilt from her past mistakes keeps her motivated but when something worse happens with her husband that is too great to ignore, she must face the facts and decide her future. Initially she wanted Isla to sell the cottage because she needed money to help her husband and stepdaughter but as the story unfolds many things shift in Caitlin. And the place and people she ran away from years ago, become her solution and save her.

The younger sister, Isla, stayed in Heaven’s Cove in the cottage to care for her grandmother whom she loved dearly. As a result, Jessie’s passing has hit Isla hard. Initially she feels almost lost without her grandmother. For Jessie was her rock. Although Isla’s life has not been easy, and she has missed her sister’s communication and friendship, she has done her best to move forward without her. But has it led her into the arms of a man who seems to want to control and belittle her? This verbal and mental abuse has diminished Isla’s self confidence. It has even made her question her own identity and dreams. Although others can see that Paul is not good for her, she is unable to recognise or accept this truth. A classic case of relationship abuse. Not until this search for the truth about Edith and William is in progress, and major revelations come to light, does she begin to see her situation. And meeting Ben the American turns everything around as he awakens in her the wonder of travel and life beyond her small world.

This is an incredibly moving and layered story. Isla and Caitlin are very appealing characters, even with their human flaws. We can feel great emotion for them, care about their dilemmas, relate to their sorrow and cheer at their triumphs. Jessie is a clever lady with her riddle ‘making things right from beyond the grave.’ Maisie is tough at the start but softens from the love she is shown. I loved how the strange woman on the hill is part of Maisie’s healing and brings out the best in her. There’s Ben who starts out as the grumpy reluctant visitor but Heaven’s Cove works its magic on him. And wonderful Sean, a love from Caitlin’s past, who re-enters her life. Of course, Paul and Stuart are two unlikeable characters (as they were meant to be) unworthy of the sisters.

This is a story about love, sacrifice, family, healing and a lover’s tale past and present. There’s a creative mystery for the sisters to solve with lots of twists and turns and surprises! I could not put this book down for I was completely lost in the story. Heaven’s Cove is a place we all want to visit (or live) to soak in the magic, mist and memories of this divine setting and enchanting community. I highly recommend The Sisters at the Last House Before the Sea. 5 Brilliant Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for a review copy.

Love this series, the books never disappoint. I have enjoyed each and everyone of them. Heaven's Cove sounds like a beautiful place to live, I can see why so many people find themselves moving there or returning home. The downside is that everyone knows all your secrets. You can't get away with anything living there. (Looking at you Belinda.) With the death of their grandmother, Caitlin and Isla are thrown back together. Caitlin's reluctantly back in Heaven's Cove, with her teenage stepdaughter, Maisie. Isla never left home, but always dreamed of traveling. In her will, Jessie left her granddaughters a puzzle for them to figure out. Solving the mystery of Edith and William helps mend Caitlin and Isla's relationship. The sisters make terrible choices with men. Caitlin at least acknowledged all of Stuarts shortcomings. Isla made excuses for Paul. Everyone could how terrible Paul treated Isla, except for Isla. Maisie was the typical angsty, teenaged girl. She showed a different side to her with the slightly crazy cat lady. Nice to see Ryan and Freya from book three. There definitely needs to be an update about all the characters from the previous books. It's hard to keep track of all of them.

Definitely recommend the book and the previous ones in the series. Loved the characters, story and writing style. Wouldn't mind reading more about Heaven's Cove or revisiting characters from previous books. Hopefully there's a few more in the series. Look forward to reading more books by the author. Loved the cover.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bookouture through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Pick up this gorgeous hug of a book and get transported to a beautiful place wraps itself round you like a cosy blanket. It has warmth, charm, laugh-out-loud moments and a wistful nostalgia. I absolutely loved it.

A novel about family and secrets. Caitlin and Isla have little in common and they haven't spent much time together in years, Isla, who stayed and cared for their grandmother, is very unhappy that Caitlin wants to sell her house but then there's the riddle. And it's solving the riddle that changes everything, Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Well done, atmospheric and if a tad predictable, well the characters will pull you in and keep you reading.

This is book #6 in the Heaven Cove series. Whilst it is a series, it can easily be read as a standalone as each book focusses on new characters, In this book we meet Caitlyn and her sister Isla. Their grandmother, Jessie has recently died and Caitlyn returns to Heaven's Cove with her step-daughter Maisie to sort out Jessie's affairs. The two women, whilst were once close, have drifted apart over the years and now both are holding back secrets from each other.

This is such a fabulous series, one which I've enjoyed more and more with every new book. I love how we meet new and different characters every time, yet still get to see the delights of the little village of Heaven's Cove. Caitlyn and Isla are likeable characters, although both are holding things back. Isla is initially more likeable and I could connect with her more. Caitlyn however is definitely the more feisty of the two sisters and I loved watching their relationship progress, wondering if they could ever get back to how they were many years before.

There is, as with the other books in the series, an element of mystery, and in this book it comes in the form of a mysterious riddle set by their grandmother, Jessie. I loved the discovery of long lost ancestors and also new found ones, and wondered along with the two women just how they all linked up together! The book is set in the run up to Christmas making it a festive read, and I loved being in Heaven's Cove when the snow begins to fall!

This was a wonderful story which I absolutely adored reading! I loved the family relationships and dramas, the little pieces of history and of course the mysterious puzzle to solve. Coupled with the scenery, the likeable characters and meeting some of the other characters from previous books, this book for me was perfect! A delightful read which I would definitely recommend!
