"Great gothic horror romance"
After three years of trying to make her web designing
company solvent Roxanne Geritt believes that only a
miracle will keep her from going bankrupt. That miracle
comes in the form of a check for one hundred twenty five
thousand dollars from a Mr. Aidan Nevan with a
stipulation. She will earn the fee by buying him computer
equipment and then come to his home to teach him how to
use it. Although Roxanne is a little leery since she had
no contact with the man except by courier, she accepts the
contract. Her feelings of unease increase when she is taken to an
island in the middle of a lake. The only building on it
is Aidan's home which is surrounded by a ring of trees.
On her first day there, she hears some strange things in
the woods and the vines seem alive as if they want to tie
her up. She tries to put it down to be a vivid
imagination but more bizarre happenings occur. Aidan
levels with the woman he loves. Instead of being
frightened by what he reveals, she resolves to help him
break the curse that binds him to WITCH ISLAND. Fans of very creepy paranormal Gothic novels will want to
tour WITCH ISLAND that is so graphic it would make an
excellent movie. Aidan and Roxanne are reminiscent of Mr.
Rochester and Jane Eyre so readers will find it very easy
to sympathize with their plight and hope for a happily
ever after ending as Stephanie Bedwell Grime's tortured
hero seeking redemption will affect readers deeply. This
superb paranormal romance is a treat not to be missed. Harriet Klausner
