This review is from: Beneath the Hill (Paperback)

i love this genre, especially when it might be real even historically. there were even a few chilling twists - the same kind of chill i got reading nancy drews when i was a kid, but this is better. when you get to the end, you wish it didn't end, and this book seems to be part of an ongoing story which includes two other books (The Daybreakers-not my favorite, and Over the Sea's Edge-which was equally good and surprising.) there may be more, but i haven't read all of Jane Curry's books yet.
