Beguiled

Ravynne Sisters #8

by Merabeth James

The Ravynne sisters head to New England to rescue yet another family member. This time it’s their Great-Aunt Margaret who Meg fears might be a werewolf for reasons Charlie thinks are quite idiotic. Arriving at the enormous mansion hunkered on the cliff’s edge above the restless sea like a malevolent gargoyle, they find themselves deeply embroiled in the evil that permeates the very walls of Ravenscliffe where one of the most frightening entities they have ever encountered wants one of the Ravynne sisters dead…dead and gone so her spirit will not linger to haunt where she is unwelcome. But the very beguiling owner wants something else entirely and will do whatever it takes to achieve his end even if it costs one of the Ravynne sisters her life.

About the author

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.

[Ericka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another good paranormal book by Merabeth. She kind of brings it to a head in this one and even brings her books full circle back to a character mentioned in Sanctuary Annie which really arouses my curiosity and I wonder if she's going to tie it all together as she tends to do as she moves from novel to novel. Still a very satisfactory read for Merabeth fans.
