This is about a young teenage girl sent to live with an eccentric aunt she hardly knew. The young girl tries to befriend the older woman and wonders how she could stay looking youthful in her mid-life years. The girl is curious and attempts to explore her new home. With more and more trepidation she finds things she never imagined she would find.

I liked the whole gothic feel of the book and the way the author describes the part of Wales it is set in.

I can't think of anything I really didn't like.

I wanted to make sure I wasn't alone and not go to sleep for awhile.

I felt satisfied with book after I read it, and wanted to read it again.

Philip Caveney has also written other books such as: Love Bites, Burn Down Easy, Tiger Tiger, Skin Flicks. He is a wonderful author who knows how to keep the reader interested and on their toes!

It is a wonderful gothic horror novel which will keep you wondering and wanting to find out what happens to the girl and why her aunt has not aged very much.

Can't think of any reason.

If you are a horror/gothic novel fan, this is a very good read. Also if you are familiar with Wales or any of the British Isles it might be interesting in regards to the wonderful descriptions of the local scenery in that part of the world.
