Critic reviews

"Blake's style is as steamy as a still July night on the bayou, as overwhelmingly hot as Cajun spice." (Chicago Tribune)

Amelia has just received notice of her father's death and an invite to stay in his creepy house. She doesn't know it's creepy until she gets there and it so much the house as the residents, her cousins, that are strange and eccentric. She discovers secrets about her father's past and is pushed by her cousins to marry one of them. That was a bit strange but the book is set in horse and buggy days so maybe not so much then.

There's plenty of suspense to keep me listening intently. I listened to most of it in one setting. The author drew me in with her descriptions of the old house and pacing. She never gave away too much at a time and she painted vibrant characters through dialogue and actions. The only think I really didn't like was her use of the most obscure adverbs, sometimes a couple per sentence.

The narrator was awesome! I loved her voice and how she varied her inflection. She was also great with voices!

A fun listen!

Exciting and Spooky!

I was expecting this book to make a dark twisted turn, at every chapter the author has this build up that something sinister is about to happen. A ghost? A haunted living house? Or something demonic going on? Nope! This is just a good old romance novel. It was good for a romance book but it wasn't what I expected.

Good but not what I had expected

Not as good as I hoped it would be. The narrative was good but the story dragged a little.
