My Rating: 5 of 5 Stars
“As children, they played games of myth and magic . . . .”
An old inn with a mysterious past. Ladies in white, ghosting through the trees. Unexplained sobbing noises during the dead of night. Strange happenings, all, and the quest to understand who–or what–is trying to drive guests away from Stone Willow Lodge is at the heart of Mae Clair’s shivery romantic suspense novel.

Marcia, finding this lovely review of Myth and Magic made my day. Thank you for the kind words, and I’m delighted you enjoyed the story. The Breckwood brothers really carved a niche in my heart, especially Caith. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Very happy to spread the word, Mae! It’s a lovely book, and I hope lots of folks here on The Write Stuff will be sharing this, too.

(Though I was becoming quite fond of Merlin by the end.) 😀
