Product Description

Strange things were happening in Drake House: A perfect rose appearing on a pillow...an antique dress materializing out of nowhere...a mysterious spirit roaming the halls...

Five years after Rachel Lindquist had left California to chase her dreams, she returned home to care for her aging mother, only to find herself chasing a ghost! Addie Lindquist insisted a presence haunted Drake House and had hired noted parapsychologist Bryan Hennessy to investigate, but Rachel knew better than to believe in what she couldn't see—or to surrender to the strong current of desire pulling her towards Bryan.

Bryan had dealt with skeptics before, but convincing Rachel was the biggest challenge of his life. The enchanting beauty had lost faith in everything that wasn't practical, and that included matters of the heart. As Bryan fought her reluctance to succumb to feelings she couldn't control, a second, more sinister force began to stalk them, threatening to drive them from Drake House and from each other—a force that could be banished only by a man who believed in the power of love and...Magic. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for an early work, an easy read, Aug 22 2003
This review is from: Magic (Paperback)
I am surprised so many people said so many bad things about MAGIC by Hoag. This is one of her early works that I read when it was first published years and years ago. I liked it then and I like it now since I re-read it. No, its not an in-depth mystery, suspense romance. But for what it is, just an easy enjoyable read, it is a very good story. There is mystery with bad guys and a ghost and some romance. This book is well worth reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars What is that smell?, Oct 27 2002
This review is from: Magic (Paperback)
This is the story of a young girl who comes home to care for her mother who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. Little does she know before her arrival, an old friend of her mother is already there, trying to bring proof to her hysterical claims that the house she owns is haunted by an elusive ghost. Young girl falls in love with this man who is first perceived as a threat to her security. The two fall in love and live happily ever after.

Phew!

Somebody open a window!

This is a twelve year old drama queen's idea of romance and the world of grown-ups. Said daughter is a woman of the world at the ripe old age of sixteen. Her "aged" mother is a mere thirty six as is her longtime friend, who rattles on about the infirmities he suffers in his "old age." The writing style constantly switches person and tense. The story is ridiculously predictable. The entire tale was a complete departure from any form of reality. Dear reader is well-advised to throw this book out the window he has just opened.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Time, Sep 23 2002
By Kristi Ahlers (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Magic (Paperback)
I just finished Ms. Hoag's book Ashes to Ashes and loved it so I thought I would try some of her other books. Despite the reviews I picked up a second hand copy just to see if what the previous reviewers thought was true. Lets face it so many people can't be wrong. This book was hard to finish and hard to understand why it was written. The storyline seemed contrived and there was not an drop of magic to be found. This story had so much more potential and I just wish some more time was taken in the writting process. Don't let this turn you away from Ms. Hoag her later stories are still very good.
