Review copy
Themes: determination disguised as stubbornness, miles of intrigue, people who seem to hate Skylar on first sight or are shifty, lots of goings on left unexplained to Skylar, having a constant battle of wills, being kept in the dark, making tentative friends, never giving up, putting up with murders and the police getting suspicious, finding out who you are, believing in paranormal, lots of tense situations and spooky moments
Content: some adult relations, possibly the odd swear word (I can't quite remember....), lots of humour
Summary from Sherry's website
A
devoted fashionata and practical New Yorker, Skylar Blackwell doesn’t believe
in the supernatural—until she inherits Summerwind Mansion. . . .
When her
uncle is brutally murdered, and the cops seem uninterested in following up the
case, Skylar
journeys to California to seek answers. Her search for clues is soon overshadowed
by haunting nightmares of a young woman also murdered in the house.
Now
the inhabitants of Summerwind are mysteriously dying, leaving no evidence as to
how or why, and Skylar finds herself in a deadly race against time to expose
the killer—before they strike again.
The
problem is . . . whoever it is may not be human.
Armed
with only wit and Pradas, Skylar begins questioning the servants, but the
growing list of suspects includes the sexy and brooding caretaker, Dorian Delacroix,
a man desperately trying to forget his tragic past. And a major distraction for
Skylar.
Determined to play detective—instead of the fashion police—and
unravel the dark history of the mansion, Skylar is plunged into an otherworldly
mystery that not even she can explain away. As the boundaries between reality
and dreams blur, Skylar’s greatest challenge is to stay alive long enough to
learn the truth.
Nayuleska's thoughts
Skylar's story is EPIC! At times I found myself frequently holding my breath because there is some pretty
scary hauntings going on, but these are tempered by Skylar's hilarious snarky comments and her determination not to
give in to others. That's why it gets the highest reading of 10/10 E, and is on
my stack of comfort reads - yes I did make sure I read it in daylight!
Suggested read
If you like books a little on the scary side filled with lots of intrigue then check out Kate Cann, especially her trilogy involving a big house which starts with Possessed
