Customer Reviews

Intriguing, but a tough read at times...

This is a very good book, with an excellent ghostly story. Suzanna Blackwell returns home for her father's celebration of his military service promotion, but this time maybe for good. In her return, she is reminded of her distance from her father, and vows to strengthen that bond... but still living in the memory of her own mother, who died when she was a child. In addition, Suzanna meets and begins a relationship with Michael - a member of the press, much to her father's disgust. Michael and Mr. Blackwell have their own deep rooted feelings for each other, that cannot be hidden, due to their own painful past experiences. All consequences and relationships of the current characters are influenced by past wars, and their actions in those wars. If the relationship struggles were not enough to make an interesting story... the ghostly encounters will definitely intrigue you and pull you in. While the living are trying to forget the past, the dead have their own agenda, and are not ready to be forgotten. I found this book very interesting, however, it did drag on for most of the book. Towards the end, it accelerated at a very fast pace, that proved exciting and frightening. The closing was excellent, but left me with a few minor questions that were not quite cleared up. Richard Setlowe proved to be an excellent writer, and my only complaint would be to spend a little more time on the characters emotions and thoughts... but I find most male authors provide more adventure and intrigue, and female authors tend to provide more emotions and deeper thought processes... not that I haven't found authors that were capable of both. I would recommend this book to anyone that finds the topic of ghosts a little intriguing... there's no technical mumbo-jumbo here... well maybe a tiny bit in some explanations, but you won't notice as they are fit in perfectly. If you give this a try... finish it! You'll be glad you did... when you find it a little long and tiresome, stay with it.. it DOES get better! I'll be keeping an eye out for other books by this author.
