review 1: As a fan of gothic romance novels, this one stands out as one of my favorites of all time. The plot is interesting, dark, and completes in the manner expected (I have yet to read a gothic romance that actually surprises me with a plot twist). I still want to marry Guy Raven, despite being over thirty at this point in my life. Then again - dark, standoffish, priggish men have always appealed to me. As for the heroine, I can remember empathizing with her. I too was the less attractive dark haired sister. Whenever I want a quick read that is something I will enjoy, I often pick this book up.
review 2: This book is a worthwhile read for gothic suspense lovers...although you will probably have problems with it throughout, as i did, (not wanting to give any spo

I will read more of Dorothy Eden's books, though, hoping to find the perfect gothic for my growing collection! less

Overall, a good solid Gothic of the 60s-70s variety. Not great literature, but enjoyable.
