Where are my ghostly readers, those who like a good ghost story that has been handed down from generation to generation? This one is for you!
Essie (present day) and her husband Sanjay have moved into a
house, though they had no idea what this house had in store for them.
Ana and Isabel (from the past) are quite interesting ladies.
Back in their day, their relationship was forbidden; thus, their families
married them off to men as, I believe, they figured their relationship would
slowly dwindle. And, through each of their marriages, Ana and Isabel each had
an inner strength that came through loud and clear.
Not to mention the family curse that had been handed down
through the generations because of a deal that was made a very long time ago.
Essie, while she believed in the curse, while scared to face her fears of the
slinky darkness, refused to let Sanjay be taken.
This read definitely has a dark vibe and pulls the past into
the present. The way the author described the darkness and the smell Essie
smelled made me feel like I could almost smell the same thing, almost feel the
darkness closing in. I liked the dark vibe of this one, the way Essie faced her
fears in many ways, the way she found the truth that wrapped around her own
parents and this inherited, if you will, family curse. I’d be interested in
reading more by this author just for the visualizations she portrays through
the use of words. If anyone is a holiday-themed reader, this would be good
around Halloween.
