Review of Lady Anne and The Howl in the Dark by Donna Lea Simpson

4 Fangs for Lady Anne
Reviewed by CC Butterfly

Lady Anne is traveling to see her friend Lydia after receiving a plea of help from her. What she encounters on the way and after she gets there is nothing she expected.

"What the devil are you?" a new voice demanded. "And do you always come visiting at all hours and covered in blood?"

Well, she knows how to make an entrance, huh?

Donna Lea Simpson has written a compelling tale reminiscent of traditional Gothic romances and left me wanting to read more of her books.

This thriller is set in England portraying the life of nobility living in the country. Two friends are separated by miles but they communicate through letters, one desperately afraid the other one desperate to help her friend.

It is believed that a werewolf haunts the Darkefell Estates and the twists and turns and even a little unexpected romance and murder make this an intriguing book. Simpson starts right out grabbing your attention from the first page. Then she keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. The biggest question throughout the book is "Is there an actual werewolf running around the estate?" Read the book to find out.

The characters are a great mixture of personalities some likable, one quite likable.

Once you start this book you won't want to put it down until you finish the very last page.

I was a little disappointed in the ending, it wasn't what I expected but perhaps Simpson will continue the story in another book.
