Sarah has
moved to Salem, where even the warnings of “[ghosts] always [coming] out at
night” from the landlady can't hinder Sarah from staying. (62) Why? Well,
apparently, Sarah was on a quest to learn more about the ancestor who fell prey
to the witch trial executions. Maybe then she can finally put those dreams she’s
been having to rest.
“You are not
who you say you are…He will find you?” What!? What could that psychic mean by
that?
Then Sarah
meets the man of her dreams—literally, a strange man she’s been dreaming of. That
James was spooky crazy—sweet one minute and creepy the next. Was he bipolar or
something? Still, Sarah was drawn to the man. But what was James’ secret?
I didn’t
quite understand Sarah’s dreams at times. Sometimes that along with some of the
dialogued history were kind of LONG.
Once I found
out that James was a vampire, I discovered that this was basically a rehash of Twilight, relaying the two connected
beings by having them stand and stare at each other for long periods of time. Of course, I found the notion of a vampire
making a life with a human completely ludicrous.
Still, the
story was filled with words of dark beauty, like entering the worlds of Poe and
John Keats.
The love
between James and Sarah was soulful and endearing. Even though I’m not a firm
believer of “undying” love, I found myself rooting for those two. Theirs was a
sweet love story.
The
landscapes were so vividly detailed that I am inspired to visit Salem one day.
In fact, it’s on my itinerary.
My rating: 3.5 stars
