Had a hard time putting down this historical ghost story. I have read one other book by Simone St. James, The Haunting of Maddy Clare but I like this one best. It has a bit of gothic romance and mystery and holds your interest until the last page is turned.

If you like reading a real gothic style novel and this is the one for you. Imagine being a patient in an insane asylum that is being haunted by ghosts? Will anyone believe that you see a ghost when you are thought to be out of your mind? I really enjoyed the twists and turns this book had to offer.

I'm not a fan of Gothic stuff in general, so this book was just okay for me. I've read others by St. James, and enjoyed them more. Despite that, I can see this becoming a movie of some sort (If it hasn't already). The ending drags on a little, I felt. But if you like ghost stories, this is right up your alley.
