Product Description

Mango Sorbet, Tuluca Lake, CA, September 24, 2001

You don't know what's going to happen next, just that SOMETHING WILL! A mix of mystery, romance, spirit(s)! [5 stars]

Product Description

The last voice heard from the house was an 18th Century ancestor's blood-curdling screams in the dark of night. What was it about the "house" that made people tremble? Why had no one dared venture near it since 1789? Had it not been there for centuries, tall, empty, beckoning? Abigail Adams Pierce could not envision that the information she stumbled upon would take her on a hair-raising journey she would never forget. A journey that once started would have no turning back, even at the risk of losing her life in the physical sense and being trapped within the spiritual realm, which had invaded the Pierce House. And nothing, in her wildest imagination, could have prepared her for the effect her discovery would have on her life from that moment on.

A fun tale 9 April 2009
By S. Deeth - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"A deserted house in New England contains a secret reaching back to the Crusades..." This was the intriguing back-cover introduction to Elena Dorothy Bowman's book, "The House on the Bluff." And when I learned that that the author, like me, was once a software engineer, I just had to read on.

The prologue had me a little confused, I suspect because the language and history put me in mind of my English homeland, but the phrasing was American. The story proper begins in chapter one with Abigail investigating a rather scary abandoned house. Although she asks "What am I doing here?" it's soon clear that she has a serious purpose in mind. The house has a purpose too and, when Abigail falls asleep on the widow's walk, time, space and reality begin to tip.

A lot of this novel is revealed in dialog, with characters explaining to each other who they are and what they've just experienced. But the main character is probably the house itself, a fact which is underscored as the story progresses and protagonists suggest to each other, "Why don't you ask the house?"

The concept of a house testing and choosing its occupants is fun, though some of the details seemed contrived. The conversations and situations are in turn scary and amusing. And the conclusion could almost be the prequel to a TV series, like the old supernatural comedies I used to enjoy.

I guess I'm still not sure how to interpret the picture on the cover, but it was a fun tale.
The House on the Bluff 28 Aug 2007
By Anne K. Edwards - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A mysterious house lures people to it and they are never heard from again--alive. This causes fear in the neighborhood of Adam's Point to leave so it is isolated as well, except for one young man who is staying at his family's summer cottage.

Abigail has come to lay claim to this house with its bleak admosphere, but the question is, will she claim the house or will it claim her? She is tempted more than once to flee the sights and sounds she encounters, but determination makes her stay.

A story that seems to have a touch of horror, but the reader will find there is a twist in the plot that leads away from that idea. Ghosts abound with doors closing on their own, mysterious music with no apparent source, meals appearing on cue with no staff, cold unappealing rooms, all adding their own touch to the atmosphere of a house you will enjoy visiting while waiting for Abigail and her new friends, Ethan and Tony, to figure things out.

Talented author Elena Dorothy Bowman offers the reader something new in paranormal romance in a world peopled by fun characters (including the house). You'll feel as if you've actually visited the place, so well done is the description.

Recommended as a fun read. Enjoy. I did.
