Miramont's Ghost by Elizabeth Hall
In my BookCollection post I wrote that I was currently reading The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared.
Well, I'm still reading that book, but I took a break and picked up another
book this weekend. I spent an entire Saturday reading Miramont's Ghost by Elizabeth Hall. A few things led me to
reading this book: 1) I got a Kindle Paperwhite and 2) I actually downloaded
this book in January before it was released through Amazon (woohoo Prime!) and
I loaded it on my newest Kindle to see what it would look like. Well, after
"test" reading the first page on my Paperwhite I was hooked!
Miramont's Ghost is a mind boggling story
about a young girl named Adrienne Beauvier. Adrienne was born a clairvoyant,
the same as her grandmother, thus can see things others cannot. At the
beginning of the story we meet a young Adrienne who is full of life and love.
As the tale goes on we see how Adrienne responds to loss and goes from lively
to just a hollow person. The story eventually centers on Miramont Castle, which
is built my Adrienne's cousin and then abandoned only a few years after
completion.
Now, I love a good
ghost story. This particular book can be categorized as Fantasy. Before reading
this I had actually never heard of Miramont Castle, but apparently it is a real
place in Colorado making this book even
more interesting. I absolutely love how Elizabeth Hall has developed the
character of Adrienne Beauvier. The last 1/4 of this book turns pretty tragic
and I was literally left mouth agape at some parts. If you are looking for a
good read and can stomach a gut wrenching ghost story, then this is the book
for you!
Read on,
Saudia
