Fly Girl’s Review:

This one sounded interesting and fit in with my schedule this month so I decided to try it.  It was alright.  Not great, but alright.  I did finish it although it took me much longer to read it than it would normally take to read a book of this length.  There was no catch in the first few chapters and frankly I wasn’t even sure where she was going with the story until about half way through the book.

The heroine is timid as is the norm for historical romances, but not because of society, rather because of what her mother says to her early in childhood.  She is a witch and no one wants a witch in their family during this period.  On top of it, the older sister has an incestuous relationship with the brother.  There is lots of tragedy and the sister is constantly trying to thwart Lydia and it all seems so Pride and Prejudice with paranormal elements in it that I kind of wanted to keep putting it down and not pick it up.  There are lot of twists and turns in the story to keep it a bit exciting, but don’t be surprised when she finally quits playing the fool because it happens so quickly you hardly notice it.

I would say if you love Pride and Prejudice and love paranormal romance this book is definitely for you.  I do love the pond.  She creates a character out of water which is a little fascinating on it its own. Enjoy the twists and turns and the complicated plot, but don’t expect to get sucked into this one.  It is a good Halloween romance though.
