The last of an ancient Cornish clan, Carla Tregellas has inherited her historic ancestral home: a massive mansion looming high up on the jagged cliffs of Cornwall. From the moment Carla takes possession of the grand manor she feels right at home, warmly welcomed by everyone—except the strange and secretive housekeeper, Mrs. Pendennis, who warns the new owner of the tragic, inevitable fate that will surely befall her if she does not depart at once. But Carla cannot leave, for the unseen bonds of a dark family curse are beginning to tighten . . . and a demon lover waits.

I loved the spookiness spelled out in the lines of this story. It was all so perfect... The young woman inheriting the ancestral mansion after she was found to be the last living heir. Carla decided to go see the place before it was sold for whatever she could get for the old place, if it sold at all. It wasn't until she arrived the first night and the startled house keeper was letting her in that she learned how much she looked like her ancestor and about the legend. She was told that the young bride to be disappeared on midsummer's night and was never seen again and that Carla was just in time to be the next maiden to fall prey to the legend.
This book made me want to go there myself and wander the halls of this old place. I'd love to look through the attic and explore through things that belonged to my ancestors. I could do without all the men though. Four men is really way too much for one book. The story could have been better but I was happy enough with the atmosphere and my own imagination.
