Great read! Had me guessing even at the end, which has quite a twist. Will be hard to put down. Love this author.

I absolutely loved this book. I picked it at random in the library and thought I would give it a try. It was great. I liked the storyline and the twist and turns were really hard to figure out. I really recommend this author and this book. Great Read!

Excellent. Holly Smith inherits a fortune from a family who are strangers. WEll, all heck breaks loose, and the pbook ends with a surprise twist.

This book had a very gothic feel to it~~I would have thought the setting was in past years if there hadn't been some references to present-day technology. The entire book had a suffocating feeling, the feeling of evil. I enjoyed it very much. I dislike it when I read reviews and know there will be a surprise ending~~whoops, there goes the surprise!~~ all you wonder is what form it will take, and I tend to wonder about it through the entire book. I enjoyed it very much, though I thought it lagged a bit in the middle.

Great story with a good storyline and amazing characters. The ending was twisted and I totally didn't see that coming. I enjoyed this story. Now I am trying to get my hands on anything by Savage.
