Let me say at the outset,, I was not the right reader for this book.
When Meg Warren loses her teaching job in London she is provided with another ,not in but in Pendarren the Devonshire village where she grew up. The place holds many memories, good and bad. There is Adam Eden her childhood friend, but it is also where her father suicided. Plus she has memories as she went with other children including Adam, of a scary visit to Stormview, a mist shrouded house. And that is where she is given a job as governess to two girls. She accepts but is unprepared for what she encounters there.
So was I. Because at some point further along in the book it deals with Satan worship and occult practice. This was not mentioned on the blurb or I would never have picked the book up. I was just after a short read to get my book challenge back on track.
So once I knew the real secret of the house and its inhabitants, I did a lot of skimming. Dark and disturbing. Glad to close this book and definitely would not recommend reading it, even though some parts were well told. Time for me to move onto something lighter.

To the point
This is a well told story by someone who has a good imagination. For a short read, it was worth it!

As good as the first in the series
I was so impressed by the first book that I read this one in just a few hours. I truly hope there will be more.
