3.0 out of 5 stars thin, but fun for what it is, January 26, 2008
This isn't going to be much of a review: Thin, but something to read on a rainy day. Libraries, don't bother buying it for your collections; this isn't something people will be requesting by name in years to come.

Yes, it's atmospheric, but the plot is shakey. It's pretty easy to keep up with the main character and her love interest, but the rest of the cast of characters aren't drawn boldly enough to keep straight easily (if you're just breezing through this, as I was-- and this really IS the type of novel one breezes through). I did enjoy wallowing through cemeteries with the main character, and the photography element was an interesting touch, but when the plot's turning point is vegetation . . . ?

5.0 out of 5 stars Unpredictable and spooky!, March 24, 2007
Ok, I really need to stop reading Melanie Jackson books at night. For one, I can't put them down until I am finished and I end up reading all night long. Another thing, I am usually so spooked by the time that I finish them, I can't really sleep anyway. But what a ride!!! Melanie Jackson sets up a fantastic Gothic atmosphere. I felt as if I were pushing away the silken cobwebs away with Chloe as she walked through the graveyard. My heart was wildly beating as she found something truly sinister. I don't want to give away anything, but this is the paranormal suspense romance for the spring.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique Psychological Paranormal Thriller", November 26, 2007
The year is 1998 and funerary art is the new chic, spurring a rise in graveyard robberies from New Orleans to Boston. Perhaps her upcoming assignment for Digital Memories had been the reason for Chloe Smith's horrific nightmare. Was the malevolent cemetery a vision of what was to come? Her grandmother, a mean spirited witch who had frightened Chloe since she was small, had always insisted that she had inherited "the sight".

Chloe's new assignment is to photograph the Patrick family cemetery at Riverview Plantation in Virginia. The photographs are to be entered into the national database in the event that theft should occur. Her first run in with the client's son Rory is less than genial. The client, MacGregor Patrick, however is charming if a bit obsessive about the family burial ground and his son's love life. He's determined to throw the two together.

The family cemetery holds no terrors for Chloe and she actually begins to enjoy her assignment. The monuments are a testament to old money and the finest art it could buy. Rory however would like to see the whole thing become taken over by the vegetation that would soon claim it if left untended. His father had not been the same since his mother had died. Rory views the old man's obsession as unhealthy. Still he assists Chloe when his own work at the reknowned Patrick Botanics allows. The attraction between them is undeniable.

The dreams begin anew when Rory's ne'er do well cousin Claude decides to pay the family a visit bringing along a friend who gives Chloe chills. Never before has she seen such malevolence in a man's eyes. She is sure she has looked into the face of evil and is stunned that no one else seems to notice. Thankfully the men are gone as abruptly as they had appeared.

All is well until she follows the family cat into the second graveyard - the unkempt, sad and uninviting slave burial ground that Chloe had been instinctively avoiding. A murder has been committed. Chloe has photographs that could help the police solve the case. It's clear that the Patricks are hiding something. Chloe must now decide whether to betray their trust and lose the affection of the two men she has come to love or listen to her heart. Can the truth and justice be two different things?

Wow, talk about a psychological paranormal thriller! Chloe's dilemma becomes one's own as the reader must decide whether or not she's done the right thing after all. -- Reviewed for PNR Reviews
