I am a voracious reader and read a lot of books. Some I end up skimming because they don't engage me. Some I put down for good after a couple of chapters then pick back up later. And then there are books that are interesting and complex enough to keep me reading nonstop to the end. This book was an encounter of that third kind. The story is ultimately a love story tinged with danger and the occult. Ursula and Damien are thrown together innocently one summer and things seem perfect. Except for the foreboding sense of doom and strange noises in the house. Damien begins to behave very strangely and Ursula finds herself in definite danger. There is something dark lingering and very dangerous at Colton Manor, and it will threaten their summer, their budding relationship and may even end their lives. I found the plot interesting enough and its twists and turns a definite surprise. The story progresses well and kept me engaged, and wanting to read on to find out how the story ended. My only criticism is that the ending came so quickly and the situation resolved too easily. I felt deprived of a bigger drama showdown at the end. All in all though this book is well worth curling up with and is a very good read!
