Between 4 and 4.5 stars. I'll dwell on it.
I just finished and I'm sitting here with mixed feelings. Part of me is tremendously satisfied, but I'm also left feeling melancholy. First and foremost, this was a very enjoyable story. It's about a girl who finds the grave and diary of an ancestor of her's and all the events that happen as a result.
Some scenes were quite shocking (I luuuuv shocking) and so sad at other times. The fun of this book is about what you don't know. If I wasn't left guessing and wanting more, I don't think I would've enjoyed it as much (well, duh! ;D)
With that in mind, I'm leaving my review pretty much right here spoiler free so you can't even be tempted, because it's a worthwhile read in true Victoria Holt fashion.
