Daughters of the Oak by Becky Wright

5.0

I just finished reading this precious gem last night and I'm still reeling. Goosebumps all over! This is the kind of book that I go back to, often, as it wakes up my imagination and touches on all those things that go bump in the night and awaken my senses. Maybe some people will find it scary, for me it's eerie and magical. The whole ambiance is so well done, it wraps around you with cold, clawing fingers and does not let go. The storylines entwine like poisonous vines throughout the pages, keep you locked in a grip you just don't want to leave until you're done with it. The writing is exquisite, and where the author most excells: she can go from the Elizabethan England style of conversation to a vivid account of paranormal activity that will be credible enough to make you sit a little forward on your chair and grip the sides of it, to a relate that is so professional and factual as to feel like you are indeed immersed in redtape reports. One of the best books I've read lately, I seriously cannot understand how this hasn't got more reads and reviews, it is THAT GOOD!!!
