The House In The Pines

A World of Gothic

by Janis Susan May

Hired to write the biography of elderly tycoon Henry Wolfe, Dianne Grayson happily comes to Wolfe House, a Victorian mansion set deep in the piney woods of East Texas… a house she has always wanted to see. Henry Wolfe is just as autocratic and overbearing as she expected, but no matter how he acts she is determined to stay there until she gets the answers she wants. What she did not count on was his rugged grand-nephew and a startlingly handsome and attentive young cowboy, both of whom show great interest in her, nor how the mysteries of the past can affect and endanger the present day. Once she discovers the truth, is it too late for her to save her own life? A Gothic Mystery Romance Series by authors all over the world.

[Jeanne Adamek · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story IS a true old fashioned gothic. My biggest problem was that I felt like I read it before--I absolutely knew exactly what was going to happen, why and how. Normally this wouldn't bother me but the parts of a gothic that I love wasn't really included as much as I would like. This includes detailed descriptions of the house and the area that the heroine was staying. I also did not really like or connect to most of the characters. They were a bit flat, boring. This novel was just an okay read.

Not worth the time

This was one of the worst books I've ever read. It is poorly written, completely predictable and it's characters have no depth whatsoever. Don't waste your time or money with this one.

Bought this one accidentally. Fluff.

Utterly predictable and not enough depth in characterization.
