About this ebook

An enthralling, atmospheric new novel from Emily Littlejohn, the author of acclaimed debut Inherit the Bones, featuring Colorado police officer Gemma Monroe.

"Recommend to fans of Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache novels." Booklist

On a bright Saturday in early spring, Detective Gemma Monroe responds to a missing person call at Lost Lake, near the small town of Cedar Valley, Colorado. With its sapphire waters and abundance of wildflowers, the lake is a popular camping destination in the summer. But for now, ice still grips the lake and snow buries the flowers.

When Gemma arrives at the shore, she meets three friends who have been camping there: the fourth of their group, Sari Chesney, has disappeared in the night without a trace. Sari is an assistant curator at the local museum, which is set to host a gala that night—a project she’s worked on for months and would never intentionally miss. As Gemma begins to understand the complex dynamics of the supposedly close-knit friendship group, she realizes that more than one person is lying to her—and that the beautiful, still waters of Lost Lake may hide more terrible secrets . . .

    I looove Sarah Addison Allen and I'vd read all her novels but I was a little disappointed with this novel. I was expecting it to be like her previous novels. It didn't have that strong magical realism element nor that delicious aspect of food that makes you giddy and wanting more.

    It started out good then just fizzled out for me. Lots of characters that could have had wonderful stories but they fell short.

    When your cup is empty, you do not mourn what is gone.Because if you do, you will miss the opportunity to fill it again.Lost Lake celebrates the restorative, almost magical, power of hope and friendship. It was an excellent choice for the mood I was in on this very frigid three-degrees-outside February day. The story's warmth seeped in through my eyes and fingertips, and wrapped me in a surprise hug - a gradual one, but nonetheless sneaky. My favorite character was eighty-something Bulahdeen, who spoke my favorite words in the book. In response to Jack asking Bulahdeen if, rather than talk his ear off, she wouldn't prefer to read one of the hundreds of books in the sitting room, "She laughed and said, "I've read them all. I want to remember them the way they were. If I read them now, the endings will have changed (81)."Recommended to readers who like magical realism dished out with a full serving of warm fuzzies.4 starsMy second fave quote was from Kate, "And yet, she knew him. She knew him in that way you can only know a person you remember as a child, like if you cracked away the adult shell, you'd find that child happily sitting inside, smiling at you (110)."

    Ah, Sarah Addison Allen. She was my first glimpse into the world of magical realism and, so far, the best I've read in the genre. Her ability to seamlessly weave real life situations with magical undertones is something beautiful! I've yet to find a book of hers that I didn't love at least a little bit. True to form, Lost Lake was perfectly gorgeous.

    Allen transports the reader to a hidden gem. A place set apart from the busy day to day workings in the city. A place untouched by time and technology. Lost Lake was a haven that I was more than happy to get lost in. I loved that it was a place for misfits. I'll get to the characters themselves in a minute, but I'll assure you that this setting couldn't have been more for fitting for them. What better place for magic to happen than a place that already feels magical on its own? I adored Lost Lake. I actually found myself wishing it were a real place.

    On to the characters, in all their misfit glory. The underlying theme here is one of loss and moving on. Eby, Kate, Devin, Wes, and all the rest of these wonderful characters, were each a puzzle piece in the overall theme. I was impressed at how well they all came to life, despite the fact that there were so many. I found myself quickly caught up in the mini background stories of each character, secretly hoping that things would work out for them. It's hard work enough to write one character who the reader can connect with. To write a large cast, and write them well enough that I loved each one of them in turn? Well, you have this reader's heart.

    I can't say too much more, because then I'd be treading into spoiler territory, but trust me when I say that there's a lot to love between these pages. We chose this for our first book club pick of the year, and I'm thrilled that we did. Each chapter is a treasure trove of discussion points, and the story is brilliant. To previous fans of SAA, I think this is something you'll enjoy! To new readers, don't be afraid to start here. Lost Lake is well worth your time.

    This book was so perfect for me that I don’t feel like a completely objective reviewer. I’ve recently realized that I love books where people’s lives intersect in such a way that they all help each other become happier. This is one of those books. Like The Wedding Bees and other books with a vivid, happy atmosphere, the author clearly chose her similes and metaphors carefully to add to the mood she’s trying to create. There was a little more conflict than in The Wedding Bees, conflict which largely involved two particularly dislikable characters. Although I adored The Wedding Bees for what it is, the addition of those protagonists made this a slightly less fluffy book. The main characters really got a chance to grow as they learned to stand up to the dislikable characters when it was necessary for their own happiness.

    Another bookish love I’ve recently discovered is the genre of magical realism. I think I love magical realism so much because I like happy stories and there isn’t much that’s more optimistic than magic that you almost believe could exist. I actually would have liked to see the details of the magic fleshed out a little more than they were, but it was pretty well done. It was certainly internally consistent and there are a few things that hint at a magical system connecting the different magical events. At the end of the book, I didn’t feel like it was something new and spectacular. It was, however, a perfect comfort book, superbly written and a delight to read.

    Every Sarah Addison Allen novel immediately goes onto the must have list. If I had to choose an author’s books to live in, I’m pretty sure Allen would be number one, because the romance, the light humor, and the little bit of magic make the atmosphere utterly delightful. The world of a Sarah Addison Allen is like the real world, only better, with magic working on your side to make sure things turn out just fine. Lost Lake may not be my favorite of Allen’s novels, but all of those characteristic elements remain, guaranteeing a fun read that will leave you a little bit happier than when you started.Read the full review at A Reader of Fictions.

    Kate has lost her husband, Devin her father, and her mother to a year of grief. On the day Kate and Devin were to move into Kate's mother-in-law's home, they impulsively plan a trip to Kate's Great-Aunt Eby's lakeside resort, a place where Kate fondly remembers one magical, childhood Summer. Waiting for them there is Eby, tired of struggling and finally willing to sell the resort, Wes, Kate's childhood friend, and a bunch of resort regulars and townspeople who want to make this last Summer the best of them all. This is a lovely, soft story about dreaming, healing, and magic--the kind that waits for decades and the kind that's always inside you. (Provided by publisher)

    This is a very quiet book. While her other books seemed to have themes of expanding circles, this one has more of a feeling of narrowing in and sheltering. As usual, it is pleasant and light, with some dark undercurrents. I enjoyed it, and read it in a few hours, easily becoming immersed in the characters and their world. I don't know how well it will stay with me, though.

    Lost Lake by Sarah Addison BakerLots of memories at the lake and she brings her daughter there to relive the good times.Alternating chapters of past and present with the characters. One chance at keeping the resort is at the big event that others hadn't thought of.Love, closure, is what others find at the lake...loved hearing of the magic spell the charms hold...I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

    Lost Lake is a wonderful book filled with endearing characters. The charming southern setting adds the right touch to this story. Kate needs a fresh start with her daughter Devin. They set off on a journey to Lost lake to rediscover a past and create a new future. The amount of magic added is just allowing for a realistic story line. The cover art would definitely attract me to this book. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it as the perfect beach read.

    After losing her husband a year ago, Kate finds herself coming back from a fog of grief to realize that her domineering mother-in-law has created a life for her that Kate doesn't really want. When daughter Devin finds an old card of Lost Lake, Kate decides to return to visit her Aunt Eby the owner and to give Devin the one last great summer that Kate remembers there. Upon arrival, Kate learns that Eby plans to sell Lost Lake to a developer, and the regulars are planning a farewell party. When Kate reconnects with an old friend, Wes, she begins to wonder if she shouldn't stay at Lost Lake. Filled with Allen's usually magical realism and focus on human relationships, I enjoyed this book immensely, though I found the larger cast of characters undermined her ability to develop many of them as fully as she has in the past.

    Sarah Addison Allen's first book, Garden Spells, enchanted me like few stories every have. I have read each of her subsequent books expecting the same magic, and none measured up. That being said, I still enjoyed Lost Lake. Her characters are memorable and her situations unique. Her ending left me satisfied if not surprised.While I can't recommend this book wholeheartedly, Allen fans will enjoy it.

    After the death of her husband, Kate thought she had lost everything. A year later, coming out of her grieving fog, she found her daughter Devin and her life being handled by her controlling mother-in-law Cricket. Packing to make the move that Cricket had planned out for them, they found a piece of Kate's past. A post cared from her great Aunt Eby that she never even knew was there. One last adventure for only the two of them brought them to Lost Lake, the vacation resort that Eby still owned and operated after so many years. At Lost Lake, they were able to find not only lost family, but lost memories of better times, lost friends that that needed them as much as they needed others, and maybe even their own lost future that they could make for themselves. Oh how I have missed reading Sarah Addison Allen books. I am so glad she is able to continue writing these amazing stories. This book did take a bit longer than normal to get into it, but once I was in, I was hooked. She has a way that makes a friendship story like this feel so possible and all your alligator dreams to come true. Love the light mystical touch to all her books, it keeps me coming back for more, always. I was lucky to receive this through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program (even though it took forever to get here). I ~ as always ~ look forward to the next of Sarah Addison Allen books.

    Lost Lake is a resort owned by Kate's Aunt Eby. Kate hasn't been there since she was a child, but one morning after her husband's death, when she decides to take back her life from her mother-in-law, she takes her daughter and drives there to visit. Eby welcomes her, and Kate finds healing and new love where she least expected.I enjoyed this book, although it suffered by comparison to some of Sarah Addison Allen's other books. I love most of her books, but this one, although good, didn't meet the standard I expected.

    A lovely, magical book about a summer at a lake. While the focus is on Kate and Eby, the supporting cast is just as important. Includes great characterization, lush language, and the magic of childhood. Loved it.

    Absolutely brilliant! I loved this story! I have now read all five of Sarah's books (except for a short story - Waking Kate, a prequel, which I just downloaded). I have loved all of her books, but I really think this was my personal favorite!As in all of Sarah's books - there are lots of little magical parts which is why I love her books so much. I would say her books are "magically creative". They are not your run of the mill, usual magic stuff like witches and spells. This is more just normal people like you and I that have strange, unexplainable, "magical" things happen. And this book has lots of it.The character development in here is superb! It only takes you seconds to fall in love with all the characters.Kate - She just awoke from grieving a year after the death of her husband. Decides she wants to "get on with her life".Devin (Kate's daughter) - She is s free spirit and free thinker. She wears tutus and cowboy boots. She believes in talking alligators that leave her messages. And she lives life to the fullest!Both Kate and her daughter are delightful!Eby - Mistress of "Lost Lake", nostalgic, loving asnd caring, and always doing for others before herself.Lisette - The french cook. Doesn't talk - was born without a voice box, but she can "talk" to you just by looking at you. She sees her dead boyfriend and saves a chair for him in the kitchen.Selma - Red haired beauty, a guest at lost lake. She has charms that get her any man she wants.Bulahdeen - a very sweet, chatty old woman, also a guest.Wes - Loved him! Owns land next to Lost Lake, lost his little brother in a fire, was childhood friends/sweethearts with Kate.Cricket - Kate's mother-in-law - AKA "wicked witch of the west"!This story is so vividly written it makes you feel like you have just jumped into the pages and right into Lost Lake! I so wanted to be there. What a wonderful, magical place.There are some really great lines in here! I will delight you with a few - "Magic is what we invent when we want something we think we can't have." "If we measure life in the things that almost happened, we wouldn't get anywhere." "The books I read when I was twenty completely changed when I read them when I was sixty. You know why? Because the endings changed. After you finish a book, the story still goes on in your mind. You can never change the beginning. But you can always change the end." "When your cup is empty, you do not morn what is gone. Because if you do, you will miss the opportunity to fill it again." "Sometimes, the best endings are the ones that surprise you. Sometimes, the best are the ones that have everything happening exactly how you want it to happen. But the absolute perfect endings are when you get a little of both." ~Some great philosophy there!What a great, fun, magical book! If you are a fan of Sarah Addison Allen or not - you will want to read this one!Thanks Librarything early reviewers for sending me this book for my honest review!

    Lost chances, lost ways of life, Lost Lake; a little story about finding, forgiving, moving on, and healing. Sarah Addison Allen's most recent novel doesn't have quite the same magic as some of her previous novels, but it still delivers a gentle story, for one that starts out with Kate coming out of the frozen period that defined her first year of widowhood. Staring an existence mapped and planned by her calculating mother-in-law, all it takes is the discovery of a postcard from her Great Aunt Eby to make her grab her daughter Devin and flee to the refuge of Lost Lake. It was a spot where she spent a happy summer as a child, at lakeside cabins owned by Eby. But instead of a thriving retreat, she finds Eby on the verge of selling the place to a sleazy realtor. As Kate unthaws, and the regulars who've come to Lost Lake try to figure out what to do, a little of Allen's magic slips in. Some of the characters are a bit forced, but others, like Lissette, and Devin in her mismatched clothing, the costume of childhood, were lovely. The book interweaves several stories starting with Eby's magical honeymoon trip to Paris decades ago. From there, other points of view follow Kate, and also several of the "regulars" who've come to the lake for years, and Wes, who Kate met as a boy the summer she came to Lost Lake. Like Allen's other novels, to date, this one is set in the South, in Suley Georgia, a land originally settled by people who'd moved up to Georgia from the Everglades. I loved that the name of the lake represents not the fact that it's hard to find (it is), but that , with cypress knees and murky waters, it reminded the early inhabitants of their home left behind. My favorite Sarah Addison Allen? No. But still a decent read on a summer's afternoon.

    This was my first read by this author, and I quickly grabbed up all of her novels after this one! I love Allen's portrayal of her diverse characters. Being a Southerner, I do not feel that she over generalizes the characters. They each remain unique and make for interesting mixings in the book. Her books all contain some magical element in them, but they do not seem so far fetched that they couldn't really be true happenings. I eagerly await more from this author!

    What a very lovely book, one filled w/ love, loss, anger, redemption, magic, and adventure. This is the continuation of the short story: "Waking Kate" after Kate has awakened and has gone to search for her Great-Aunt whom she had met as a child.

    As I stated: Kate has awakened from a year's deep sleep, brought on by the death of her husband. During that time her mother-in-law has taken complete control and rearranged Kate's life. Kate's daughter has taken the brunt of the take-over.... forced to stop wearing the clothing she loves, forced into a school she hates. Their house and business has been sold and they are in process of moving in w/ the mother-in-law, when Kate stumbles upon a post card that her Aunt Eby had sent to her years before, inviting her to come stay at Lost lake whenever she wishes...... Kate's mother had been so resentful of her Aunt's happiness, that she hid the postcard away.....

    On the way to their new life, Kate decides to stop at Lost Lake for a short visit w/ her Aunt Eby..... and the magic adventure of healing the past begins.......

    I enjoyed the story as it felt as if I was there. I enjoyed most of the characters and even the ones I didn't care for well written, all came to life for me.... I liked that the magic was dispersed throughout the story and was not only real for one particular character. I was able to figure out a good portion of what was going on, but this was not written as a mystery. This is a good story about awakening to the possibilities of changing one's own life story!

    While this was a satisfactory read, I thought there was too much overt magic in it. What I really enjoyed about her other works was her subtle mentions of magic, maybe it was there or maybe it wasn't; maybe it was heightened senses. The story was good, but the magic was just a little too convenient to drive the story along.
