Product Description

Product Description

A stranger has come to Middleburg, Maryland, a visitor from abroad with a mysterious purpose. But this quaint, affluent community has dark secrets of its own. And when the interloper, Peter Stewart, becomes involved with the bewitching, seductive ward of noted local author Kate More, the townfolk fear the chilling past they are hiding will no longer be safe. For Middleburg has a colonial history of malevolent sorceries and obscene sacrifice. And when the terrible pot is stirred, murder may be the least of the evils to emerge from the unholy brew.

--This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not in the least DARK, Oct 12 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Prince Of Darkness (Paperback)
When I first read the synopsis at the back, I thought it was gonna be truly dark, mysterious & suspenseful.But little did I know that it just made use of the title to attract unsuspecting readers like myself!!!!!Really not worth a read....you feel that you have been led round by the nose in a merry-go-round!!All it contains is petty tricks played by small town occultists!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun read (just ignore the cheesy title), Jan 25 2001
By "serracus" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prince Of Darkness (Paperback)
I'm not too familiar with the gothic romance genre, which is pretty much looked down upon by snooty readers, but if they are all written like Barbara Michaels I'm all for them. This book worked for me. It is witty, well-paced, has a clever plot, and most importantly, is believable notwithstanding its batty premise of a modern-day witches' coven deep in Upper Middle-Class America. A reader looking for "horror" is bound to be disappointed, because Ms Michaels is not out to terrorise her readers or scare them silly. Which is fine with me, because I prefer stories which are moved by real human agents who face up to challenges and grasp their destinies, rather than tales popoulated by terrified pawns of the supernatural. An easy and thoroughly enjoyable read. Not too much stress on the little grey cells, but neither are we required to suspend our disbelief.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Barbara Michaels' Book, Aug 6 2000
By "thoulton" (Fairbanks, AK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prince Of Darkness (Paperback)
Style-wise, this is perhaps her most creative book. It is split into 3 parts: the 1st is 3rd-person omniscient, the 2nd is told through the male main-character's POV, and the 3rd is told through the female main-character's POV. The events unfold much like a movie in that the reader isn't just told what is going to happen... rather, we "see" it as it happens. It makes for a very exciting read! The characters are wonderfully 3-dimensional, and as always with this author, the conversation is witty & smart!

4.0 out of 5 stars My first Barbara Michaels and still one of my favorites
Made me a believer that whether witchcraft is real or not, the people who believe in it can be pretty scary. It's one book I've reread several times.
