Synopsis

Miramont Castle, built in 1897 and mysteriously abandoned three years later, is home to many secrets. Only one person knows the truth: Adrienne Beauvier, granddaughter of the Comte de Challembelles and cousin to the man who built the castle.Clairvoyant from the time she could talk, Adrienne’s visions show her the secrets of those around her. When her visions begin to reveal dark mysteries of her own aristocratic French family, Adrienne is confronted by her formidable Aunt Marie, who is determined to keep the young woman silent at any cost. Marie wrenches Adrienne from her home in France and takes her to America, to Miramont Castle, where she keeps the girl isolated and imprisoned. Surrounded by eerie premonitions, Adrienne is locked in a life-or-death struggle to learn the truth and escape her torment.Reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, this hauntingly atmospheric tale is inspired by historical research into the real-life Miramont Castle in Manitou Springs, Colorado.

I loved this book! It's one of those books that makes you stay up way past your bedtime, simply because you can't bear to put it down.

Goodreads review by Amanda Sinor on February 03, 2015

I honestly don't know what to think. Rating this was impossible. If I could give two separate ratings, boy would that be easier. First 3/4 of the story a definite five stars, the ending I'd give two. I'll try to explain. The writing is beautiful, very descriptive to the point of feeling whisked away......more
