Reading this series is sort of like watching a soap opera, serial television. The reader steps into Thunder Bay and immediately meets all the people in this small town and becomes connected to their lives.

As much as this isn't my normal reading fare, I have to say I have enjoyed reading these books, with The Newcomer picking right up where the previous on left off. We have a first-hand look into the very real struggles of teenagers, responsible adults, irresponsible adults, town gossip and more. I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to the next in the series
