When it Raines, it pours, I wholeheartedly agree. This is one more jewel in the crown or more like one more book in Tea Ravine writing's crown. There is something irresistible in the way her plot lines pull a reader in, something undeniably magical in the way love, loss and heartbreak are always represented. She not just creates characters, but breathes life in them gently and very loving and leaves you a little empty when the last page comes.
I hate summarizing plots, preferring to revel in the feelings a book evokes in me. Hurt, healing and figuring out your priorities and what you want from your life are heavily emphasized in the Scent of home. Maybe I think, if Home has a scent this story is a very good contender for the ultimate praise - the salty tang of freshly shed tears, the creamy lightness of happiness, the bitter after taste of disappointment, the overwhelming dizziness of joy, all mixed together.
Under the lights and music of Twin rivers festival, Shane, Erin, Locke, Bray and Finn meet in a tangle of emotions, heavily influenced by their history and the past that keeps intruding in what they are trying to build together. Twin Rivers might be breathtakingly beautiful on the surface, a seemingly perfect place to meet your scent matches but there are secrets and darkness, hiding underneath the sparkle. While the town is a loving mother for some of the people living there, for others it's the evil Step mother.
It was captivating to read and heart touching to experience.
