Mandy's Review:I realize that during the Vietnam War, genteel society was a little more uptight than we are today, but I feel that Bailey's parents were a little extreme with her over the pot. She only smoked it one time and woke up with a guy in her room that she only knew the first name of. The insinuations make Bailey sound like she had sex with this boy, but later in the story it's brought out that she didn't. After this one-time experiment, Bailey's parents banish her to Maple Hill. Could they really not handle her on their own?While Bailey's at Maple Hill, Eric comes home from the war a wounded soldier. When he finds out about Bailey smoking pot, he automatically thinks the worst of her ... which annoyed me to no end. Bailey tried to tell Eric about Edward, the ghost, and all Eric could say was that maybe the one time she smoked pot is causing her to hallucinate. Unless the marijuana was laced with LSD, I don't see how it could make her hallucinate months later. I think Eric was basically an arse and didn't care for him at all.Despite their differences Bailey and Eric fall in love ... or was it Edward and Claire reincarnated?Somewhere the Bells Ring is a short story that is an enjoyable read for those who like ghost stories with a slight twist.*An ecopy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
