Product Description

From Library Journal

Carla Tregellas, a modern, sophisticated American woman, inherits the family mansion in Cornwall. The house--reminiscent of something in a Jane Austen novel--overlooks the craggy seacoast and is filled with hidden stairways and abandoned gardens. The unsolved disappearance of a resident two centuries earlier adds a Gothic touch, and Carla, intrigued, stays to investigate what could only be an ancestral curse. Along the way, she meets an assortment of characters who welcome her inquiries, although they seem to be warning her off the property at the same time. Though a bit far-fetched, this enjoyable story is an interesting commingling of modern romance and Gothic mystery. Reader Kate Harper's fine, quickly paced narration adds a delightful touch of life and uniqueness to the characters. The surprise ending is satisfying and intelligent. Recommended for all fiction collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great storyline, Jun 27 2000

By	D. Smith "mulan345" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wait For What Will Come (Paperback)

Although the house with spirits has been done repeatedly, Barbara Michaels does a wonderful job with her interpretation of this well used theme. I found myself being drawn into the tale and especially enjoyed the picturesque description of the castle. Despite its great twists and turns, I couldn't help but be sadden by the choice of endings. It does leave the reader wondering, how much of the ending was a result of the "spirit of the house" and how much of it was the mental workings of the heroine? You decide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read., Jul 8 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wait For What Will Come (Paperback)

I read this book one dull, dreary day when I remained home from work, overwhelmingly sick with the flu. This remarkable novel instantly cured my boredom. It is a wild mixture of riveting suspense, soothing romance, chilling dreams and ingenious storytelling. I honestly do not know how she manages to do it, but somehow, Michaels' works have a strange habit of inducing me to read on and on, without rest, without food, without a care in the world... except that of the book glued securely to my hands (and my cough medicine.) The story itself is enchanting, and myself, being a somewhat industrious student of European folklore, was captivated by the Cornish legends surrounding the seas and lakes of Cornwall. The simple idea of a merman-monster seducing young women on Midsummer's Eve so as to capture the essence of their virtuous souls, scared me stiff as if I was there myself. Carla is a practical heroine, full of logic and wit. She is one without fear and supersition. And our hero. Oh, yes, who could possibly forget Michael? The ever-so-charming ex-ballet star whose graceful panther-like composure and his tanned, muscular build blend in nicely to result in a superb specimen of quite a leading man. I enjoyed this book to the highest degree. It is truly satisfying and especially appropriate for a bed-ridden person who needs some delightful literatural entertainment to add some color to the bleakness of having the flu.

4.0 out of 5 stars Barbara Michaels is the best, Aug 17 1998

By	coco779@aol.com "coco779" (Flagstaff AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wait For What Will Come (Paperback)

I loved this book, so picturesque and mystical. One of my favorites of hers. I fell in love with the villain, much more so than the hero. What a pity he could have not been the one to save her!
