It's A Good Read!,
By Armchair Interviews (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Borden Street (Paperback)
Ariel was left alone at age four with nothing but a necklace and the knowledge of her first name. She was able to keep her name but the necklace was taken from her. Now, fourteen years later Ariel's necklace and the small box it rested in for all those years is returned to her just before she is released from the social welfare system. In the box she finds an old yellowed photo with the words "Borden Street, Goldsboro" written on the back.Now that Ariel's an adult she's determined to discover her past. She knows that the photograph can provide her with needed answers. Ariel will travel to Goldsboro, shedding her abusive boyfriend John and the years of foster homes. Ariel locates the house in the photograph, is hired as the housekeeper and learns 101 Borden Street is haunted-trapped in time waiting to be released from the violence that occurred there over a hundred and sixty years earlier. Only Ariel can free the house from the past and release the star-crossed lovers from their prison. But in helping others, she may lose her own life without learning about her own family history. Susan Eileen Walker writes a fascinating suspense story that will keep you turning the pages. The plot is exciting and she is able to deftly weave the present into the past. I enjoyed it! That said I have one criticism. The story ends so abruptly I thought I'd received a book that didn't have all the pages. I kept thinking that there had to be more and then learned that that was indeed how the author chose to end the book. For me it felt unfinished, though you could also argue for the opposite. It's a great read if you love good story telling.

A Book Well Worth Reading,
By
This review is from: 101 Borden Street (Paperback)
Susan Walker's novel intrigued me from the start. Her dialogue and descriptions are excellent but more than that, her storyline draws you in, making you want to find the answers. Why was Aeriel abandoned as a small child by a woman who apparently loved her? The answer is complicated as the young woman goes in search of her heritage with only a small photo with an address on the back as a clue. This book is well worth reading.
