Summary: It doesn't get much worse than this
Review: My heart aches for the trees that were cut down to print this piece of garbage. Here is a brief rundown of why I didn't like this book: The main character Lisa is likable enough but she is a complete idiot. She is the equivalent of a person in a horror movie who goes into the haunted house for no reason but to show "they ain't afraid of no killer ghosts!" Why does Lisa marry a man who scares and threatens her and shows all the hallmarks of an abusive husband? And as for her "love interest" Thorn.... all I can say is very, very scary. If there was an afterward for this book describing their marriage five years later it would probably show Lisa on trial for murdering her mentally abusive husband. The housekeeper Mrs. Kirk would testify that she was never more horribly surprised in her life as when she found Mr. Landers dead in his bed all torn and bloody with the normally quiet, timid little Lisa sitting in a corner singing to herself and holding the bloody knife. Mrs. Kirk would give a deep sigh and say," She was such a happy little thing when she first came to stay - sigh - so happy."
