Review

"[Here is] the sequel to Miracle in the Mist. The book is cleverly plotted to make the reader believe there is such a place somewhere for broken people to come heal."  —A Romance Review

More About the Author

I'm southern by adoption. I was born and raised in Upstate NY, but when the cold weather, snow and ice became more than either my hubby or I wanted to endure yearly, we migrated to Florida. We now live not far from one of the most fascinating cities in the US -- our adopted hometown of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the US. When my creative writing juices dry up, a trip to the the Ancient City section of St. Augustine never fails to get them flowing again.

"Help, I need help, help me!"

It's late and there is no one out, no cars on the road and why is there blood on her hands? "Help me!!!" She spies a light and follows it. When she arrives the door opens and she is welcomed in, almost as though they had been waiting for her.

Carrie has no idea that she is in Tarrytown, New York on this cold snowy night and in fact, she doesn't even know her own name. She does know that she needs help. Fortunately for her, she has arrived at the door step of Irma, Meghan and Steve. They work with the community of 'Renaissance' to help those people who are in need of finding themselves.

Renaissance is a community that exists beyond the usual realm of time. It becomes visible to the outside world only when there is a person in need of their special services. Irma helps guide these lost souls to the gateway and Meghan and Steve act as gatekeepers.

This is the second book in the series, the first being Miracle in the Mist, though you can easily read this second book without having read the first. Author Elizabeth Sinclair has written an enjoyable though slightly predictable story. I found the first third of the book just a little to 'goody two shoes' for me. The story starts the day before Christmas eve in a picture perfect setting with four people sitting and waiting for the people in need. Too cute. I found the resolutions to some of the 'issues' to be too easy. The logic was presented, and boom, the person was over it. While we learn a lot about the issues surrounding the main characters, we don't really learn much about them as people. There wasn't much to make me want to care about them.

Into the Mist was fun to read, but it didn't leave me wanting to read more.

This review is from: Into the Mist (Mass Market Paperback)

As a romance reader for over 20 years, I truly enjoyed this fine tale of love and hope. In the theme of Brigadoon meets novel the story is both unique and compelling. The characters are rich in emotion. The plot mixes a tender love story with the paranormal elements that fairy tales and happy endings are made of. After a stressful day, this is the kind of escape eveyone needs and can relate too.

This review is from: Into the Mist (Mass Market Paperback)

For anyone who has had any major trauma in their life, Into the Mist is a touching tale of healing and redemption. The cover resembles a Thomas Kincaid painting, but even more so, the words make you feel as though you live within it. Faith, hope and love live within the magical village of Renaissance. I'm not sure how anyone can come away after reading Into the Mist and not feel a little lighter of spirit for doing so.
