Dumped on the eve of her wedding and looking for a quiet place to lick her emotional wounds, Maggie Harris joins her sister on Solace Island, where she hopes to recover from the stunning betrayal. At first, Maggie resists Eve's impassioned argument about relocating permanently so the sisters can open their own local bakery.

Just as Maggie starts to get comfortable in her new surroundings, a car tries to run her down in the middle of the street. If it weren't for Luke's extremely quick reflexes, Maggie could have been killed, leading her to wonder just who exactly Luke Benson really is...

Luke will do anything to keep her safe--even moving Maggie and her sister into his house with its state-of-the-art security features.

Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
"This novel is as chilling as it is poignant. My advice? Read it with the lights on." — Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot Three sisters. Three keys. Three unspeakable horrors. The Finch sisters once spent long, hot summers exploring the dozens of abandoned properties littering their dying town—until they found an impossible home with an endless hall of doors...and three keys left waiting for them. Curious, fearless, they stepped inside their chosen rooms, and experienced horrors they never dared speak of again. Now, years later, youngest sister Claire has been discovered dead in that old, desiccated house. Haunted by their sister's suicide and the memories of a past they've struggled to forget, Meg and Esther find themselves at bitter odds. As they navigate the tensions of their brittle relationship, they draw unsettling lines between Claire's death, their own haunted memories, and a long-ago loss no one in their family has ever been able to face. With the house once again pulling them ever-closer, Meg and Esther must find the connection between their sister's death and the shadow that has chased them across the years...before the darkness claims them, too. As emotional as it is haunting, Through the Midnight Door explores the sometimes-fragile bonds of sisterhood and the way deeply rooted trauma can pass from generation to generation. "A gorgeously realized, deeply affecting horror story about sisterhood, secrets, and all the things that can haunt someone."— Layne Fargo, author of They Never Learn

Adrienne Toner
Author: Anne Douglas Sedgwick
Publisher: T. Allen
ISBN:
Category : Love stories
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
In the climax of this novel we are expected to believe that a forceful, cultivated, fearless woman (Adrienne Toner) will sacrifice happiness with a man who loves her because she still "loves" (she sees it as her duty) her husband who has left her and run off with another woman. It's very noble, perhaps, but also not very believable, even for 1922 when the book was published. Adrienne is an explosive force to her in-laws, the upper-crust Chadwicks. Not only does she "steal" Barney Chadwick away from Nancy, whom everyone expected him to marry, but she supports Barney's brother Palgrave in his decision to become a conscientious objector and helps Barney's sister Meg run off with a married man openly rather than keep their affair hidden. No wonder the Chadwick's are down on her! --Bomojaz at Amazon.com.
