Summers at the Saint
Ratings10
Average rating3.9
Mary Kay Andrews is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy reading summer-themed books all year round. Living in Alaska with almost 9 months of dark and cold weather, nothing beats a good summer read in December.
I love going into books blind too, as I did with this one, and being pleasantly surprised with the overall read. This has summer fun, with mystery thrown in, and a little romance to top it off. Just what I needed.
I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.

Not A Casual "Beach Read". With the cover and even a common understanding of the description, one might think going into this tale that it is a breezy easy beach read. Well, I'm of the belief that any book you read at a beach is a beach read, but this book takes some effort. If you're looking for a simple tale... this aint that.
What this *is* though is a solid tale of survival on so many different levels. Yes, you have the tale of the struggle to save the resort that the description points out. But there is also *so much more* here, and the problems at the resort go *so much deeper* than is initially believed.
At first, this seems to be a tale of the resort manager building her team, Nick Fury building the Avengers style. As this slow burn story continues though, we see that not everything is as it seems, and Nick may have found Loki posing as Thor rather than the actual Thor...
Ultimately, all of the separate characters and threads do come together in a wonderful tapestry, but it takes a while to see the full picture of all that is happening and why, but for those that demand books that wrap up everything... this *is* one of those tales, at least.
Very much recommended.
