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.
I couldn’t even write my own synopsis of this
story, so I did something I have never done before...copied from Goodreads. This
story turned out far different than I thought it would be. Or even what it
could be. A woman with visions *should* be interesting especially since it’s
set in the past where people are not nearly as forgiving as they are today of
those kinds of idiosyncrasies. But this book is boring. So very boring. I slogged
through it and the last 20% or so wasn’t horrible, but I just couldn’t get into
it. The plot had definite potential, but the execution was not for me.
Damn, it sounded so promising too. :(
ReplyDeleteIt sounded most promising. But I was bored to tears. Well, maybe not tears, but I was definitely bored. Bummer.
