Having trouble finding a good book? Harlequin is a wonderful place to start, but those of us that have been with Harlequin for some time grow tried of certain fields like, Intrigue, Spice, Blaze. Most of us die hard fans just continue to shop through each field in hope to find something new. But what about something old?
After eight years and three or more times a month visiting their website, I have read so many of their books that I’m fully aware of what authors that have been around for awhile and who are new and testing the waters. And some of these gems are older and harder to find. But, well worth the effort.
Moriah’s Landing was published in 2002, which makes it harder to find, though if you at a mom and pop store or online grab it. It’s well worth the effort. This creepy series has an original authors’ spin. Told by four different authors I found this Harlequin series to be delightful and fascinating. How they did this so gracefully, I will never know. This four part series was cleverly pieced together, starting with book one each author kept the flow easily. Almost effortlessly. This wonderful alliance with these four authors is not the only series they have published. If you liked this series look for Texas Confidential, which was published two years before this one.
Secret Sanctuary~ by Amanda Stevens
Book one introduces each character, which gives you a feel of where the main story is headed. This was creepy story about witches and things that go bump in the night. Starting with a sorority initiation four young women find themselves in trouble when one of their friends is abducted and found tortured and her mind gone.
Howling in the Darkness~ by B. J. Daniels
I haven’t picked this book up since 2002, and just like before I couldn’t put it down. With great new twist, Daniels gives you another look at the main story line without wondering too far from it. By bringing in a new character she smoothly gave you a more overall look at the city the story was based in. With fortune tellers, ghost and a twenty year old murder that has one of these young woman watching the shadows.
Scarlet Vows~ by Dani Sinclair
Taking a little different turn, it still stayed with the story line. Tapping into the last book in the series brought back some of the creepy vibe causing you to wonder what happens next. A secret kept one small child away from the harm her mother had started five years before. But now that the child is known she and her mother are put in danger.
Behind the Veil~ by Joanna Wayne
Honestly, my cat scared the living daylights out of me while I was reading this one! So to say that this was a perfect end to a creepy story of witches is significant. There are plenty of surprises to keep you guessing. By the end I was freaking out by the direction the book took. The mysterious Dr. David Bryson is finally revealed, answering questions that had you guessing from book one.
