“Firefly Effect is K.K. Allen at her romantic suspense best! With twists and turns you never see coming, you’ll quickly fall in love. Hands down one of the best books I’ve read this year!" Linz Readz Book Obsessed
When a single dad moves to a small town and becomes obsessed with a potential client—a beautiful woman haunted by her tragic past.
For years, tales of the Firefly Man were nothing more than elaborate rumors spread by residents of the Appalachian Mountains.
Until the night Evelyn Vaughn stumbled upon a dead body in the woods.
Fear gripped her, and silence stole her voice.
All while she watched the boy she was with that night take the fall.
Fourteen years later, Evelyn is nothing more than a shell of her former self.
Her life moves like a clock from one moment to the next, never a surprise.
Gone are the days of chasing fireflies through the woods.
Until her therapist goes missing, and he’s replaced with someone new.
Dr. Lincoln Reed, a devastatingly handsome single dad with an intensity behind his evergreen eyes that jolts her back to life.
Or does it?
Evelyn is quickly losing grip of the suppressed reality she’s worked so hard to maintain.
With every new session on Dr. Reed’s couch comes a startling new revelation that has her past awakening like the sparkles of light she used to chase through the nighttime woods.
The Firefly Man was supposed to be a rumor, a fable, a spooky tale.
But Evelyn knows the truth.
He’s her very own phantom.
And he’s back.

My Review
Firefly Effect: a small town romantic suspense by K.K. Allen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I feel so torn on this one, overall I enjoyed it, it just took me a minute to get into it. And when the identity of the Firefly Man was revealed, I was shocked.
One summer when Evie was fifteen she stumbled upon a dead body in the woods. For years she had heard stories of the Firefly Man. It seemed like nothing more than an elaborate tale spread by residents of the Appalachian Mountains. She watched in fear as her crush was accused and arrested for what happened that night.
Fourteen years later, Evie is forever changed by what happened all those years ago. Gone are the days of chasing fireflies in the woods. She moves through life one moment at a time. Until her therapist is suddenly called away and replaced by somebody new. Dr. Lincoln Reed is a handsome single dad with gorgeous green eyes who seems to have awakened something inside her.
She decides to quit therapy not wanting to share her issues with someone new. At first, Lincoln is bothered by her rejection but manages to her get her to open up little by little. Now she's recalling the past and memories she's tried to suppress are pushing to the surface.
The Firefly Man has struck again and he seems to be making his way back to where he started.
Thank you so much to the author and Give Me Books for this ARC to review.
