I loved this book because I have found an author that reminds me of Victoria Holt. The story is a great mystery and romance all woven together. It kept me guessing and was exciting to read. This was also my first e-book, and though at first it was different, it really grew on me. This is definitely a 5-star read!

In 1842, Miss Isabel Morrison (also known as Bella) promised her dying father to travel and meet Jonathan Besserman to wed. Yet when she arrived, it was to find that her betroved had been killed in a suspicious lumber accident. Jonathan's lawyer, Duncan Ross, informed Bella that Jonathan had changed his will and left everything to her, even though the wedding had not yet been done. She had a certain amount of time to restore the house to its former glory or the estate would go to Duncan. By no means would the brother, Theo ever be allowed to inherit it. None of the servants, except Sally, seemed to like their new mistress. In fact, someone was trying to scare Bella away from the estate. But Bella would not let herself be frightened away. She would fulfill the last wish of her fiancé. Soon attempts on her life began. It could be any of the servants, Theo the brother, or Duncan the lawyer. Too many murders had happened in this huge home and she seemed to be the next targeted to die!

***** An exciting gothic romance destined to send goose bumps down your arms and back. It seemed pretty obvious to me who the culprit was, but only because I've read so many gothics and have a warped mind already. Gothics have always been a favorite topic of mine and author, Allison Knight, has not disappointed me in the least. I loved every second of this one! *****
