NO WONDER IT'S A R.I.T.A. DOUBLE-NOMINEE!!,
By
This review is from: Spirited Away (Zebra Historical Romance) (Paperback)
I just finished reading Spirited Away by Pamela Labud, and all I can say is wow! WOW! I don't normally read historical fiction anymore and I wasn't planning on spending my afternoon glued in place but that's exactly what happened. Spirited Away is a double nominee for R.I.T.A. in Best First Book and Best Paranormal - as judged by other writers of the Romance Writers of America Association! Well, with a recommend like that, I just had to see what all the excitement was about. I was curious and I have to say I'm VERY glad I was.
Will Markham is a dead man - literally. The opening is one-of-a-kind. Then we move to Arianna - who is visiting with dead people. Oh my. Exactly what Will needs. It was an intriguing beginning that had me hooked. I didn't move. I couldn't. I wanted Will to get justice and Arianna was his only hope. Little did we all know. What an emotional, poignant read -- all the way to the ending, where the suspense really ratchets up. Oh my. Great beginning, wonderful thread throughout, and a surprise ending! What more can I want? Spirited Away is a wonderous debut - exactly as Hannah Howell said on the cover. Wow!

Enchanting Paranormal,
By Beverly "Beverly" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spirited Away (Zebra Historical Romance) (Paperback)
Not since Linda Lael Miller's Pirate have I enjoyed a paranormal romance more. From the very first pages the reader is swept away in this story of hate and vengeance that is conquered by love. Captain William Markham has lost all, including his very life, by the evil Richard Barrons. Hung for false charges of treason Will vows on his last breath for vengeance. His spirit is drawn to the magical amulet owned by the beautiful Lady Arianna Halverson. Able to talk to the spirit world and help solve their problems, Will seeks out Arianna's help through the amulet. Little do they both know that Richard Barrons is also working to destroy her family and steal her brother Nathan's wealth. Barrons shoots her brother Nathan, who becomes an invalid from his wound, and uses Arianna's love for Nathan to force a marriage. Barrons plots and works more evil in England while holding Nathan and Arianna prisoner on an island. Through the power of the amulet Will is able to remain with Arianna and together they work to destroy Barrons. On arriving to the island they discover that Will's daughter Katherine, he thought drowned by Barrons, is still alive. Together without fully realizing it, they become a unique little family unit. As their love grows spiritually, Will and Arianna are able to have brief periods of physical love. Will begins to see that his love for Arianna and Katherine is more important than his vengeance. The intrigue builds to a ending full of surprises. Pamela Labud has the talent to make the spirit world seem real with warm and loving characters that capture the heart of the reader within the first few pages. Soon you are caught up in their story, cheering them on. I was enchanted. I can't wait for more from this author.
