Helpful Score: 2


If you're a Robin Schone fan, then you know that she often writes in a dark, haunting and sometimes disturbing style. It is quite amazing that an author can create a sense of foreboding and fear, passion and longing--all at the same time.

From the first page, the story draws the reader in, keeps you engaged, wondering how these two tortured souls (actually, many more than just the two main characters) can possibly find peace when surrounded by (haunted by) tragedy, betrayal and injustice. It's not my favorite Schone--that is The Lady's Tutor--but, I believe it is a story that will stay with you long after the final page.

Overall score: 4.25 stars
Story: 4
Romance: 4.5
