    About this audiobook

    Karen White's New York Times best-selling novels keep audiences up well into the night with their compelling plots and engaging characters. Sea Change is a riveting tale of second chances, forgiveness, and leaps of faith. Plagued by feelings of loneliness and not belonging, 35-year-old Ava Whalen is as shocked as anyone when she falls for child psychologist Matthew Frazier, elopes with him, and settles down on St. Simons Island, Georgia. But her newfound happiness is threatened when her past proves difficult to escape.

      I thought I knew how this would end. The author is a skillful writer.I was pulled in by page 11.I enjoyed the love story,mystery and historical and supernatural aspects of the book. 3 women tell their stories, Ava, Pamela and Gloria.Al their voices intertwined.The story kept building and building.The last 1/3 of the book just seemed to get bogged down.It made a very climactic ending quite anti-climactic. I was almost relieved the story ended. I just think it could have been a bit shorter. Enjoyable and I was wrong abt the story ended.

      I like this one better than The House on Tradd Street. However, it is still not great. I would charge this one with a lack of subtlety and a repetiveness of certain details which leads the reader to feel she is being beaten over the head with a "this is important...I'm giving you a hint...IMPORTANT!" hammer. Also, how many time is she White going to use the "seeminly devoted wife and mother abandons husband and son for another man" thread? Bit of a lack of inventiveness, no?

      Need mind candy with a romance, mystery, history angle? This will do. Need good writing and a fascinating and suspenseful plot? You might want to look elsewhere.

      "For Ava Whalen, a new marriage and a move to St. Simons Island means a new beginning. But what she doesn't realize is that her marriage will take her on an unexpected journey into the deep recesses of her past that will transform her forever. Have read all Karen White's books, as love the Atlanta author; however this one was not quite as good as her usual works. Moes back and forth from the historic 1800's, to the mother and daughter- a little slow moving. "

      Well, I love Karen White's series about houses in Charleston but this book left me in right field,,, the ball went to left. I really wanted to like the change up between each chapter, 3 woman, but it just went on for 400 or so pages and got a little too much unreal at the end for me. Sorry, will look forward to the next book though.

      Such an entertaining novel and one in which I became thoroughly immersed. Of course it was set in one my favorite places, St. Simon's Island in Georgia and I loved reading about the places I had visited and the islands history. The characters were fantastic and the storyline stretched from the 1800's to the present. One quote from the novel that really resonated with me is " Know what you want to take root, and what you want pulled out." They were, in the story talking of gardening and flowers but it could of course be used to describe many different situations. Wonderfully enjoyable story.

      Sea Change by Karen White revolves around the story of thirty-four year old Ava Whalen who’s just been married and has moved to a new home in St. Simons Island, Georgia. This book explores the whirlwind romance following the very short engagement and surprise marriage to Matthew.It then moves on to Ava’s search for the secrets of her husband’s past.This book also explores the possibility of past lives and reincarnation. Ava is haunted by the feeling that she knows St Simons and her new husbands house even though she has never been there before.There is much she doesn’t know about Matthew, including the mysterious circumstances surrounding his first wife’s death. And Matthew's ancestral home seems to hold as many mysteries and secrets as her new husband. With the help of a new friend, Trish, Ava throws herself into uncovering Matthew’s family history and that of the island. She slowly begins to realize that she has a connection of her own to St Simons.What I really liked was the constant mystery and intrigue in this book. What I did not like was that it sometimes seemed to move slowly in releasing it's secrets and I was so anxious to discover what was going on. Lots of suspense and build up and it all comes together in a dramatic ending.

      Add this book to your summer reading list. Seriously. Do it! Sea Change by Karen White is a mixture of mystery, romance, and history. Ava Whalen has been afraid of water since she was a baby. Nobody knows or understands why. Ava's mom, Gloria, loves her but has always been standoffish towards Ava. Pamela lived 200 years before in the same St. Simons Island house as Ava and her new husband, Matthew Frazier. The story is told from all three women's point of view.Ava and Matthew married after a whirlwind romance. They decide to move to the coastal town of St. Simons. They move into Mathew's ancestral home. They are both eager to start their new lives together. On their first night there, Ava learns that Matthew has been married before. She is upset that such a big detail was withheld from her. Eager to know more about his first wife, Ava starts to uncover some disturbing details about the mysterious death of Mathew's first wife, Adrienne. Ava digs deeper to find out if the man she loves could be responsible for Adrienne's death. Ava and Adrienne also share an obsession about a mystery that happened over 200 years ago on the island. Meanwhile Ava's mother, Gloria, is devastated that Ava moved to the island. Gloria and Ava have always had a strained relationship. Since moving to the island, it has become even more so. Secrets are being kept from all sides.Sea Change is a great read. It's reminiscent of Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. It has the same mysterious, haunted feel that Rebecca holds. The journeys from the past to the present are fascinating as the story unfolds. The characters are fantastic. White keeps you guessing on who to trust. One of my favorite characters is Mimi. She's Ava's ninety-one year old grandmother. Despite her age, she has no intention of slowing down. She's a feisty, spirited woman that made me laugh. I enjoyed this book thoroughly.
