5.0 out of 5 stars A "Perfect Storm" of a ghost story, July 12, 2008

This review is from: The House at Pelham Falls (Paperback)

It's a real loss to readers everywhere that Brenda Weathers is no longer with us to share her tales. This one book is my favorite of her three because it is the perfect ghost story and haunted house story. Most of my reading is supernatural literature and this one fits the bill along with the likes of Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING. A symphonic blend of every element that makes ghost stories successful has been served up by Weathers and the final product is a delight to read not just once but many times over. I read this book one or two years after it was published and liked it then. It has mellowed better with age. The romantic angle is subdued, something I wish could be true of today's sex-infested lesbian romances. There are some real, genuine chills. But it is Brenda Weathers beautiful language and way with words that make this a book I can recommend highly to any lover of supernatural lesbian literature or lover of haunted house and ghost stories. My only regret is that it was too short and I didn't want it to end. Hell, grab a copy of HOUSE AT PELHAM FALLS, turn out all the lights except your reading light, sip your favorite tea, hot chocolate or whatever brew you like to relax and go ahead and turn the knob and go inside THE HOUSE AT PELHAM FALLS. There are ghosts, romance, thrills, chills and some mighty fine writing waiting for you.

This review is from: The House at Pelham Falls (Paperback)

This is my first read from this author and I was pleasantly surprised. This book was much more of a ghost story than a romance -- I prefer the latter. However, there was enough romance thrown in to make it enjoyable.

Karen Latham considers herself a heterosexual and is in a long-term, seemingly unfulfilling relationship with Walter. Through professional contacts, she meets director Maggi England. Karen is drawn to Maggi and the feeling is returned. However, Karen is scared of her new feelings and runs away from her entire life to get back on solid ground.

Karen rents a home in Pelham Falls and finds herself in the clutches of the ghost of a previous resident, Blessing McCarland. It seems Karen could be the twin of Blessing's late lover Aimee, and Blessing believes Aimee has returned home to her.

Thanks to Maggi and Karen's eccentric new neighbor, Etta, Karen is finally able to conquer not only Blessing's ghosts, but Karen's own "inner ghosts" as well.
