review 1: Best title of the year for me! I got this as a free download from Pixel of Ink and, as often happens with e-books, I totally forgot the summary well before I started reading this. What started as an interesting, but unremarkable romance with heavy touches of the Gothic, became an unexpected thriller that had me staying up past bedtime to finish. As a main character, I really liked Marlie. A trained social worker, her reflections on "replacing" the first wife and mother of twin boys really added depth to the book for me. I really loved the gothic element, including the "Is it real or is this woman just paranoid?" tension. I really loved this one and it brought back many happy memories of a Gothic lit course I took in college. Always interesting to explore what scares... more us most (which in the Gothic is often our own dread of the unknown).
review 2: Marlie meets Daniel at a party, and it seems like love at first sight. He takes her to the airport and proposes the next day. This throws Marlie into Daniel’s world. He’s a state senator and owner of Canon Records. He is wealthy and gives her everything she could seem to want...except his time...and his secrets about his dead wife, Gentry. Pulled in against her will as she overhears a few conversations about herself and is confronted by several of Daniel’s friends who want her out of his life, Marlie determines to uncover the truth about Gentry’s death. This book had thrilling surprises throughout, and lots of mystery and suspense. I liked the characters, even the villains were colorful and became real to me. less
