I didn't really know what to expect from this book, as I thought it was going to be about a haunted house or a possession. I know that from the time I started I was engulfed in the story. Anytime I put the book down, I felt like I was missing a good movie on tv and I couldn't wait to get back to it.All I can say is this is a wonderful blend of history, horror and modern times.I was captivated by the historical aspect of the story--and I actually would NEVER prefer to read anything historical lol. I felt like I was right there as a silent witness. The modern take was good as well as I felt I got to know alot about all characters involved.I was on the edge of my seat towards the middle to ending of the book wondering what was going to happen to both sides.It was perfect how the author took us back in time so seamlessly from walking in Clara's shoes to Phillipa's.I loved this book. I would give it 5 stars but I reserve that for books that I CANNOT PUT DOWN!This one was close!!!GREAT JOB
