Ravynne Sisters #4
Their Haunted Eyes
Volume Four is a haunting tale of lost love, betrayal, and revenge between a mortal woman and an immortal man…a vampire …the very handsome, and the very sensual, Comte de Rochambeau. Inadvertently, the Ravynne sisters are drawn into the middle of their battle when they promise to investigate a property friends wish to buy for a haunted B&B of their own. Imagine their surprise when the property turns out to be a relocated French chateau rising above the isolated, black waters of a Louisiana swamp.
Renamed, centuries ago, 'le Chateau de Sang', (the Castle of Blood,), the sisters promise to spend three nights there discovering if its evil reputation is well earned. A promise they very soon come to regret...

About the author
Merabeth James
36 books27 followers I began my actual writing career as a journalist and then a TV scriptwriter, but loved putting words together to form images/thoughts/feelings almost as soon as I could grasp a pencil.
There are six things important to me...well, most important to me: To love unconditionally, to always keep a sense of 'wonder', to always be kind, to find joy in simple things, to never take myself too seriously, and to make sure I don't leave this earth with a list of "if only I hads" trailing behind me.
I've taken many 'leaps of faith' in my time and, so far, have landed on my feet or, in one case, on a dilapitated houseboat with my dog, and a lot of enthusiasm. I named her 'Sanctuary Annie' and hoped for the best. I knew nothing about boats, couldn't swim and wondered how long she would stay afloat.
In the middle of the night, when my dog jumped up to join me on the antique Victorian bed I had moved on board, I would check to see if he was wet, knowing, if so, we were both in big trouble. But Sanctuary Annie hung in there, even surviving a hurricane, when others around her were not so fortunate.
Living in the small marina, with the sea as my back yard, I found a profound sense of peace..and the love of my life....my Jim, captain of 'Wings', a beautiful racing sloop that flies across the water, when the wind fills her sails.
I often think how much I would have missed out on, if I hadn't taken that leap of faith and followed my heart. Life is meant to be lived and I intend to keep on doing just that.

Edge of my seat and one eye closed kind of reaction to this book. Merabeth sets an eerie stage in New Orleans tapping into all the dark sides of the city and its history. Vampires and ghosts weave through the story and the ending blew me away. Being an avid reader, I should have seen this coming but I didn't know what was coming. Was he or wasn't he was about all I could fathom and I wasn't even close. I have to say that I have removed New Orleans from my bucket list. Of course, the crime rate should have deterred me in the first place but in this book, it is a seriously creepy place with a wildness that I've certainly heard about from friends who have visited during Mardi Gras. I'm no Charlie and I make Meg look like the Terminator. That being said, this is a great book to read late at night, alone with only one light on. Foolish but really fun thing to do.
I absolutely look forward to Merabeth's next book.

I am on the fence about this story, mainly because it seems every ghost mystery now involves vampires. Charlie and Meg travel to New Orleans during Mardi Gras to check out a haunted castle in the swamps. While in New Orleans, they become involved in the mystery disappearance of several women. Long lost love, brotherly betrayal and revenge is all part of the story. Good vs. evil among the vampire world.

I love this author and the sisters in the book. Compared to some of her others I felt this one dragged just a tiny bit but still thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend. If you're looking for a spooky read for the halloween season you can't beat this authors books.
