Nikki Jeffries is embarking on a new phase of her life. She is leaving her parents’ home
and moving to New Hampshire to write a book about ghosts and hauntings. She has no
luck, until the innkeeper’s cousin Rick takes her to a particularly haunted cemetery - the
same graveyard that has been in her dreams for years.
Rick is what is known as a sensitive. He senses that Nikki is far more than just a
beautiful woman looking to write about ghosts. The last time he became so deeply
involved in a case, it almost destroyed him. But he will do anything to keep Nikki safe.
An experiment at a genetic research facility in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
goes horribly wrong, leaving a Dawn Lord dead, a Shadow Lord terribly injured, and two
pregnant women missing. Twenty-three years later the same scientist is determined to
try again, not caring that he is upsetting the balance of the universe, possibly causing
the end of the world.
This is a really involving novel featuring a woman determined to find herself, and she
certainly does, becoming a creature of legend. Both the New Hampshire countryside
and the Shadow Lands are vividly described, especially the haunted house which stood
in both. The subplot involving the house was as good as the main story line. The
characters were equally vivid, the villains evil, and Nikki’s friends willful and colorful. This
is a very gripping read.
