The Other Side of Forestlands Lake

By: Carolyn Elizabeth

Narrated by: Amy Deuchler

As kids, best friends Willa Dunn and Lee Chandler spend every summer together at the idyllic Upstate New York community of Forestlands Lake, nestled in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains. During the summer before they turn sixteen—just as the two are discovering that there might be something more to their friendship—a tragic accident befalls Willa's family and without warning, Willa and Lee's world is torn apart.

Twenty-five years later, Willa is a successful author of the young adult ghost stories she loved to read as a child. She returns to the lake looking for a writer's retreat and an opportunity to connect with her troubled teenage sister, Nicole.

Lee, now a single mother to her wise-beyond-her-years teenage daughter Maggie, is the director of the summer camp on the other side of Forestlands Lake.

Before Willa and Nicole even have the chance to unpack, their plans are upset by a mysterious young girl, a near-drowning, and a surprise reunion. Soon Willa and Lee are working to protect the girls, reconcile their past, and unearth the secrets surrounding Forestlands Lake—putting old ghosts to rest once and for all.

Contains mature themes.

Really enjoyed this one

Interesting storyline, good characters, and great narration. A little suspense, a bit of romance, some teenage attitude, and totally worth the listen!

Love!

This was a wonderful spooky read with a sapphic romance and ode to friendships to carry it along.

Great storyline and the characters loved it

Loved it held my interest which is hard to do but will read more from this author. Great story

Amazing plotting

If you like paranormal suspense you must read this . As a person who usually figures out the who done it very early on in a story , this one had me stumped all the way until the reveal. Fantastic stuff Carolyn . Absolute must read.

Loved it

I am not a ghost story great fan, but this one was excellent, shows me that I should read a book even if the main topic is not really my cup of tea. Well written, excellent narration.
