While this book was written superbly and in a manner that kept me interested i really did not like the content much. I read it really because author was highly regarded in reviews by some of my peers and on that point they are right! Shes a great writer!

Romance,Betrayal and reconciliation bore me and thats really what this story was about and while you feel many emotions on this journey without more of my favorite elements ie adventure/horror/science im afraid i couldnt truly enjoy the journey.

SPOILER ALERT -- I do have some unfinished biz with this story. Who is Ray and who did he kill? I gathered he was really Howard and ended up in jail for killing Mick after Mick killed Danny. But from what i read on the web it seems some people think Ray was Danny but that seems impossible to me. And others think he was a random student worker working for Howard at the castle that killed Danny??? But wait, didnt Mick kill Danny? If anyone has a better explanation please let me know.
