Women's Fiction
Description
Even though Luna and her brother Cullen seem like
complete opposites, they’re identical in two ways: they’ll never let
injustice stand and they always have each other’s back. #1 New York Times
bestselling author Fern Michaels blends mystery, drama, and a touch of
romance for the second Lost and Found novel, as the siblings set out to
uncover the secrets behind a long-lost diary.
Every antique tells a story. Cullen and Luna Bodman learned that through their parents’ furniture business. Now, with their restoration shop and café, they often find themselves at the center of those stories, unraveling mysteries for their clients. The old steamer chest that Cullen receives from an anonymous source is fascinating in its own right. But inside, Cullen discovers more—a locked diary accompanied by a letter, asking for the diary to be restored to its rightful owner. Also in the trunk is a wooden box containing ticket stubs and an undated carnival flyer.
But everyone isn’t thrilled with Luna’s quest. Her budding relationship with U.S. Marshal Christopher Gaines comes under strain as he tries to talk her out of a wild goose chase. But intuition pushes her on, unveiling a surprising modern-day connection, and leading Cullen and Luna to wonder if the diary’s secrets still hold power today . . .

I'll be honest and say that I had a hard time with this story. At times it seemed to drag and I had to push myself to stay with it.
Now that said, I did like the relationship between Cullen and Luna. They had quite the unusual brother- sister dynamics. Cullen made me smile when he teased her by calling her "Luna-tic".
I was a bit lost at first because this was my first book in this series and more and more people kept being added. But I did like the people in the artsy community. There was also a sweet romance for both Cullen and Luna.
However, I wasn't quite a fan when it came to mentions of soul traveling and some of the other new age type stuff. I wasn't expecting that.
The story does come to a good end with so many questions answered.
" I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book. And these are my honest opinions about it.”
