Seduction is a tale that spans
centuries. Victor Hugo, an exile from Paris, while on the Isle of
Jersey becomes involved in the Victorian passion for spiritualism.
The Ouija Board calls up spirits, but are they good or evil? A
hundred and fifty years later, Jac L'etoile receives a letter from Theo, a friend
she met when they were troubled teens at an exclusive sanitarium. He
has a home on Jersey and invites her to investigate the Celtic Ruins. Malachi, Jac's therapist, cautions her
against the visit. He is an expert on past life regressions and knows
The story moves from Victor Hugo's
journals to the exploration of ruins on Jersey. Theo has heard of the
journals, and he wants to find them. Jac, an expert on mythology, is
more interested in the Celtic ruins, but she gets caught up in Theo's
quest. The Isle of
Jersey's rugged coast line and caves make a striking
backdrop for the search for the journals.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The
characters are intriguing. I couldn't help being entranced by the
mysterious bond between Jac and Theo. M.J. Rose skilfully weaves the
story back and forth between Hugo's journals and the present day.
It's a hard book to put down. If you like stories with a paranormal
flavor, don't miss this one.
I reviewed this book for Net Galley.
