I love gothic. Great read. Just enough suspense.
Kept my interest going though a bit convoluted
This book was such an interesting read. I really didn’t want to stop reading it.
I loved reading about the times, characters and the medical theme. The actions, chivalry and the believable duplicity of man was very enlightening. This gives a glimpse of what research was like in those times.
A classic gothic romance.
I did not like this book at all and am suprised that I even read it to completion. It was boring and predictable and really kind of creepy in a bad way. Hope that I will forget it soon. It was not good.
I love dark gothic type books where there is an air of mystery involved.
Loved it
I so enjoyed this book. It starts a little slow, but hang in there it just keeps developing and I hated for it to end!
took me a while to get into it but it was an overall good read. dark and mysterious
Loved reading this book at the beach. Very fast read
Jane Eyre- ish
Not my usual style of story. Enjoyed it though. A bit drawn out in places, but a pleasant read.
Great gothic romance . Reading the entire series .
After reading this, I am now a huge fan of Eve Silver! I enjoyed this story so much, and look forward to warding more from this author! I purchased this entire series I enjoyed it so much!
Second in series, and I enjoyed it more than the first. There are 5 so will probably continue with these. Dark, a little gory, sexy. A little much emphasis on heroine being helplessly attracted to hero ….but I think that’s par for the course for Gothic romances. Good mystery and secondary characters.
Eve Silver’s books always have just the right amount of gothic suspense to go along with a good romance. Well worth the read!
