And it was her dream that held the key to either happiness or horror...if only she could find it before she was trapped in love's illusion--caught in a deadly CRYSTAL WEB...

Bland characters and an even more bland romance, this reminded me more of the 60s/70s gothics rather than late 80s as there was very little romance in it, she barely interacted with the so called hero of the book and she was still in love with another man half way through. The gothic part was also quite bland, disappointing over how much it cost me.
