From Library Journal
From the first night she spends in her Aunt Beth's Ancient Thornwyck Castle, Carolyn knows something is wrong. Alien thoughts float through her mind, the face in the mirror is hers-but different-and a specter appears in her room. But her unease quickly turns to panic when the legendary castle ghost tries to kill her. A paranormal in the Gothic tradition, this rather lengthy book by Kells (A Deeper Hunger, Dorchester, 1994) features some interesting Irish history, an appropriately brooding atmosphere, and a vile villian. However, the story would have benefited from more complete characterization of the two main protagonists and a higher degree of sexual tension.
