Behind a legend lies the truth…
As a child, Eve Parrish
lost her father and her best friend, Maggie Flynn, in a tragic bridge
collapse. Fifteen years later, she returns to Point Pleasant to settle
her deceased aunt’s estate. Though much has changed about the once
thriving river community, the ghost of tragedy still weighs heavily on
the town, as do rumors and sightings of the Mothman, a local legend.
When Eve uncovers startling information about her aunt’s death, that
legend is in danger of becoming all too real . . .
Caden Flynn is
one of the few lucky survivors of the bridge collapse but blames
himself for coercing his younger sister out that night. He’s carried
that guilt for fifteen years, unaware of darker currents haunting the
town. It isn’t long before Eve’s arrival unravels an old secret—one that
places her and Caden in the crosshairs of a deadly killer .

My Review
A Thousand Yesteryears is a gripping dark mystery that
kept me sitting on the edge of my seat, guessing what would happen next as Eve
and Caden are drawn into the investigation of the disappearance/death of girls
in Point Pleasant, while dealing with their personal relationship.
I have just finished this book and, to be honest, I
wish there was more and I can't wait to tell you why. Where should I start... let's start with the
characters. The author had me hooked
from the very beginning. With her character development, with the descriptions
of places and situations - these add so many dimensions to the story - I felt
as if I were one of her characters watching from the sideline. Mae Clair must not believe in wimps, because
her books are littered with strong female characters. Like Eve in A Thousand Yesteryears. Eve Perrish has
strength, intelligence, and determination. What does Eve discover about her
beloved Aunt Rosy? Will the discovery reveal a horrible thing that could
estrange her from the newly rediscovered love? Will the secrets
"ruin" them in the "ton"?
In the style of S King and A Christie, the author
spins a story of deceit, revenge, romance and tragic history whose ending took
me totally by surprise. I left my role as character on the sideline, to become
the main character Eve, saying to myself, "Now why didn't I see
that?!"
Expect the unexpected and never let your guard down
when you're around Mae Clair’s books!
I will warn you of one thing: if you start reading
this book you'll binge read it!
I think this statement confirms how awesome this book
is!
If you appreciate mystery, suspense, myth, legends and paranormal tales you
certainly should read A Thousand Yesteryears!
All in all, I am superbly impressed, and anxiously looking
forward to book 2!
Tomorrow is release day for A THOUSAND YESTERYEARS, the first novel
in my Point Pleasant series. I’m not actually kicking off a blog tour
until the beginning of May, but I thought I’d do a couple of posts
related to Mothman sightings this week, since he factors so highly into
the novel and series.
The
two couples parked near an abandoned power plant and were chatting when
they spied two glowing red spheres behind a gate. It didn’t take long
to realize those disembodied spheres were actually eyes. A creature
unlike any they had ever seen regarded them steadily in the
darkness. Towering nearly seven feet tall, the nightmarish form appeared
humanoid with enormous wings folded behind its back.....
