Customer Reviews

This book was great!!

I really liked the use of imagery. There is a lot of suspense that builds up after reading for a Little while. I did not want to set it down. Aside from the fact that I had school to study for, I would not have set it down. I will read this book again as soon as I have the time.

Solid

Historical fiction with mystery, horror and a touch of the supernatural all rolled-up into one solid story; no doubt a page-turner.
