Cassandra by Starlight is an enchanting tale that manages to immediately hook you into the lives of its characters. Cassie and Bennett are on very different trajectories and, if not for a tragic accident, would never have crossed paths.Bennett's brother fell or leaped to his death from a highway overpass and landed on Cassie's car, seriously injuring her. Bennett's guilt over the accident drives him to pursue her. But he soon finds that his feelings are genuine. Meanwhile, the compelling aspect of this novel is the intrigue around Bennett's brother's death and a wrenching secret that binds the characters even more tightly. A romance is able to evolve amidst self-doubt, tragedy, and recovery. That's what real life is about and Susan MacNicol beautifully captures it with her words.
