4.0 out of 5 stars Destiny..., December 6, 2001

Jen (Stuart, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DeLore's Confession (Hardcover)

I love books that flirt with the concept of destiny. This one intertwines romance, betrayal, mystery and passion without getting too off kilter with the drama like some other stories can. I also enjoyed how the friend where bound through the history of the families. It was Great I can't wait to read the Prequel. The only thing that i was confussed on was the randomly place photo inside the book. not quite sure if that was even supposed to be there.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Ann Rice you will love this book!, September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: DeLore's Confession (Hardcover)

I could not put this book down. The story is original,suspenseful, well written and has great character development. It isa cross between an Ann Rice novel and a great mystery. Where is the sequel?
