Following Annabel as she went from body to body, visited time periods past and future, and fought for lover and family over and over. This book is chocked full of action, magic and philosophy. All through the book, though Annabel knows she is a witch, she also knows she is a Christian and that God has blessed her. She also spends a lot of time battling a demon who doesn't even have a bone to pick with her, it's a great aunt or something. I will admit, while I adored this book I was uncomfortable with the idea that the only religions touched on were Christianity and Satanism (media's definition on that one, too). But that being said, it really did drive the story. There is such a stark disparity between God and Satan. It made the story so colorful. As for Annabel, she is not without sin. She stole the bodies of innocents early on. Then she only stole from those she deemed "evil" but I think the problem in that is thinking she has the right to judge. The other mistake is working so hard for revenge over the loss of money in the time period she keeps returning to. It's kind of weird. She goes all over, but there's a central progression to the story that anchors it. I liked all the characters - and truly there's not a complete hero among the bunch. Annabel has caused some of her own problems, and her children and grand children have caused others. It's not all on that demon. The story also has some harsh reality in it. It's very well written, with a polished and professional feel to it. Yeah! Seriously couldn't put this down. I worked so hard yesterday to clean the boys room and do the house work that needed to be done...but all I could think about was when it was time to stop and pick up that book again! So yup, this one is getting 5 stars. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Annabel Horton is hanged on Gallows Hill in Salem, Massachusetts during the infamous witch trials, but she does not die, at least not in the way we understand dying. She is pursued through the centuries by the devil's disciple, Urban Grandier from the incident at Loudon. Annabel, now in spirit form must steal the bodies of evil doers to protect her family. Her beautiful young granddaughter is being seduced by the ambiguous Ursula Boussidan in the guise of a man, a brilliant young lawyer known as Louie Boussidan. She has uncovered a plot to steal her vast estate, a plot developed in France by Ursula and the evil Jeanne Elemont, daughter of the demonic Urbain. Annabel struggles to regain her estate and protect her granddaughter as she searches to be reunited with her husband, Michele, and their children, Philippe, Emie and Matthew. The beautiful Annabel, as she is called, is consistently separated by Urbain’s trickery and the complexities of crossing time barriers. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Annabel Horton is cursed. This story, written in the style of classical literature, describes Annabel's journey through the dimensions of time trying to reunite with her loved ones and fight the evil force that is torturing them all.
The book has an adult content warning up front which is quite warranted. This was a very different type of book for me - much darker than I usually read. Although dark, it is not overly graphic which I appreciate. ( )
