A great gothic romance for teens.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
After her parents die of the plague, teenage Catherine must leave her home in London to live with her uncle, Sir Robert Helmsby, whom she has just met. Catherine's uncle takes her to live with him on the old family estate in the countryside, Helmsby Abbey. But the Abbey hides a dark secret, and as Catherine finds romance with Will, a young man from the village, she begins to fear for her life. Can the young lovers escape the dark curse that seems to haunt Helsmby Abbey? This is a great supernatural romance for teens. It has a spooky gothic atmosphere and is a tale full of mystery and suspense. Catherine is the typical gothic heroine, orphaned and send to live with a mysterious relative on an old estate. The story is very formulaic, but that's what makes this book work. I highly recommend it to teen readers who enjoy these types of stories.
