3.0 out of 5 stars The First Book in the The Legend Of Blackthorn series, July 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rider In The Mist (The Legend Of Blackthorn) (Mass Market Paperback)

The back of the book says:
Aurelia Agee had come to Natchez, Mississippi, to claim her unexpected inheritance, the Blackthorn estate. But her arrival stirred up age-old hatreds that wouldn't rest. Anonymous threats and eerie cries wouldn't drive her away. Nor would the warnings of the mysterious and sensual Marcus McNeese, a man who confused her, intrigued her...and reminded her of the ghostly rider she had glimpsed one misty night.
With the headstrong heiress's arrival, Marcus knew it was time to resurrect the "ghost" rider of Blackthorn, whom legend said protected the land and its heirs. He couldn't afford entanglements, but Aurelia's innocent passion fired his jaded heart. Something evil stalked Blackthorn...and as the townsfolk cried for blood, Marcus vowed to watch over Aurelia in the darkness...

I have to say that I was not all that impressed with this book. It had romance and mystery but it seemed clouded with sub plots and secondary characters that were never resolved. The mystery was solved, but there were a lot of questions that remain unanswered. I have read the second book and the same goes there. I recommend this book only if you are a dedicated fan of the author and are insistent on reading all of her books.

I'm not a huge fan of suspenseful novels, but they're growing on me...as long as it is a romantic suspense ;)

Anyway, I thought to book was pretty good! It wasn't my favorite, but it kept me entertained. I liked the interactions between Aurelia and Marcus and some of the other characters as well. The characters had a good depth, which I'm not sure was developed fully...but I don't write, so I don't know a whole lot about that. I think some of their past could have changed their interactions a little bit, especially for Aurelia's character. Overall, I enjoyed the book though!
