Another great gothic, Dec 23 2007
By ThePaperbackStash.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Haunted Heiress of Wyndcliffe Manor (Paperback)
The book is classic gothic one she's in Wyndcliffe, but the tone is never dramatic or overdone as it the case with a lot of gothic book. No overly used Victorian style phrases; instead it's easy to read and follow. I did have the guilty culprit accurately pegged before reading the end, even if I didn't have evidence as to why - just a gut feeling. Still that didn't ruin it for me. I appreciated the small attempts at mystery. The last few pages made my heart sing, as romance was there strong. I do wish a bit that more was showed in Warren's books in a sexual sense, if you know what I mean, as she always seems to shy away from that, but oh well. I guess some things get left to the readers imagination. Go, Michael, go!
The ending was fun but the villain's reasoning seems a little forced, but oh well. Nothing can be perfect. The book turned out to be addictive fun, I couldn't put it down, and found myself sinking more and more into the story. If you happen to pass this by somewhere, for the love of God, pick it up! I hate seeing talented authors not make it in life. The book was written in 92 - I'm happy to see more books were published after that and plan to eventually collect most of them.

Not my favorite, but I'm glad I bought it, July 30 2010

I have started collecting Zebra Gothics in the past couple of years and I am glad that I have added this one to my collection. My only complaint is that it takes to long for Jennifer to find her family, she spends to much time with the Gypsies. I do like it that Michael is a normal man, nothing fancy. The mystery is good and had me guessing all the way to the end.

This review is from: The Haunted Heiress of Wyndcliffe Manor (Paperback)
"Orphaned in a train wreck as a little girl and raised by a family of poor coal miners, "Jane" spent her girlhood toiling in the mines near Newcastle, plagued by flashes of forgotten memories. Who was she and where did she belong? Only after fleeing the mines and traveling across England with a band of gypsies did she meet the man who had haunted dreams...and who took her home at last to Wyndcliffe Manor.
But the arrival of Jane-now Jennifer Hardwicke and the heiress of Wyndcliffe-fanned the flames of intrigue and desperate blackmail that had been smoldering for years among the jealous heirs."
