Unable to rest because of circumstances due to his death he'd been looking for people to manipulate. This spirit, Arwen Jago, had lived and died in the medieval era. Annie had been possessed by an entity who muddled her judgements. We didn't get enough of the hero and his romance with Annie, which was great when it finally started. The hero was also very yummy-oh la la!-so I was frustrated with reading about her hard-on for the OM. (She even had a plausible excuse, but I still didn't like it.) Described as the strongest of the female heroines in the series, she had the hardest time getting over her infatuation. I liked her, but lost some respect for her since she obsessed over the other man for soooo long. The Jago family had a history of madness, and this final book delves into stopping it once and for all.Īnnie was a saucy and stubborn heroine. I think it helps if one has read the previous novels because this final installment mentions the main characters from the prior two, tying the past with the present and explaining the origin of the Jago legacy. Similarly, Annie doesn't have intercourse with the villain but there IS foreplay. Like the first book, the heroine is obsessed with a man who isn't the hero.

The first half possessed a tone reminiscent of the two earlier books in the series. Some of which caught me unawares and some I'd guessed correctly. The plotline of this paranormal romantic suspense, set during 1922 in England and South Africa, contained twists and turns.

My eyeballs were glued to the screen but not for the romance.
