"Gothic Christmas"
A VERY GOTHIC CHRISTMAS is an anthology featuring popular
writers Christine Feehan and Melanie George. Both authors
give you a story that shows things can go bump in the night
any time of the year. Christine Feehan's After The
Music reunites Dillon with his twin children and with
Jessica, the person he couldn't keep out of his head.
Burned in a terrible accident years earlier, Dillon hid
away in the house that he built, convinced he had nothing
to offer the people that he loved. Jessica has brought the
twins to be reunited with their father, because she knew he
would keep them safe, as their lives have been threatened. In Lady of the Locket by Melanie George, Rachel
travels to Scotland to an old castle to honor the last
request of her parents. What she finds there is something
else. During a terrible storm, she hears a noise and
discovers Duncan MacLeod, the original owner of the
castle. What is she going to do when she finds herself
attracted to a man, who is from another time. I enjoyed both stories. Lady of the Locket was my
first story by Melanie George, but it won't be my last. It
was funny and sweet. After The Music is a feel good
story. It is fun watching the ice melt within Dillon. The
secondary characters were fun and I would love to revisit
them. A VERY GOTHIC CHRISTMAS will have you believing in
miracles. Barb Hicks
