This short novel was a disappointment for me after enjoying so much "St-St-Stuffed" and "Shane and Trey" by the same author. Even more so as this time it is so neatly edited with no typos or mistakes to be detected.This time angst was simply too much for a romance. There is so much anguish, so many unspoken words and feelings. The leads are so afraid to get hurt and to hurt somebody else that they simply fail to express themselves, to be alive. I think Ms Sunday aimed at a finely shaded watercolour but it all ends by being dark, shadowy. Even those moments which are supposed to be happy feel like an isolated sunbeam peaking from stormy, greyish clouds.While writing is good, pacing is slow. The supernatural element, original though it is, feels only partially put to use in the plot.I am afraid I shall not be rereading this anytime soon.
