review 1: I am struggling to finish this book. The main story (present day) was interesting to begin with, but has fizzled out completely. The secondary story (past) is the only reason I keep reading at this point......OK, I give up. This book was a waste of my time. This is the 3rd book I have ever given up on, and even though I am halfway through I must admit defeat. The characters are annoying, the story is becoming ridiculous and the supernatural touch is so far out and stupid now, that I want to burn the book when I pick it up. Horrible waste of time and paper! (Good thing I haven't paid for it!)
review 2: I have to say that reading this book felt like getting out of a maze of sorts. Abi, the heroine of the story, is posted as a curate under a parish headed by Kiera... moren Scott who first seems kind but with time proves to be overbearing, and this leads to her resignation. She seeks shelter at the Cavendish home after her mother's sudden death. She can see ghosts, and it feels as though she is living their life and feeling their pain, but what's sad is Kieran believes she is a witch and the demons have to be cast out of her. What drew me to this story was the idea of seeing ghosts and having a main character whose beliefs are questioned by everything that's happening around her. Abi is opinionated, and quite stubborn and that made it easier to read because there's the feeling that she'd always see things to the very end. I didn't buy the whole Yeshua story because it seemed to ruffle everything I know about Jesus but nonetheless, I found it to be a very interesting twist to the story. It's a good read. less
