"Fair enough"
"Pretty ridiculous, huh?"
"Too bad"
"Just wonderful"
"It's not that bad"
These really did not fit with a 17th century pattern. Then there were things such as the use of the term 'red cent' which didn't exist until the 19th century, or 'grumpy' which is late 18th century. If an author is going to write in an historical time period, they have to get it right or the writing completely loses believability.
Even the modern stuff needed a fact check, Doogie Houser instead of Howser, or having a Scot say 'bird brain' which is American slang, shite for brains, bawbag or even eejit would have been more appropriate.
Style was bad, if something happened 'wildly' one more time I was going to wildly throw my ereader across the room. At one point bath water was tepid, but then cool in the next sentence. I also felt far too much time was spent on physical relationships between characters rather than the actual story. I wanted to know what was going to happen from a paranormal perspective not plough through another half dozen pages every few pages of someone kissing or being touched or aroused, especially if it is interspersed with ohs and ahs and mmmms and aaaarghs in the dialogue. It completely took away from the supposed creepiness of the plot. A bit of love doesn't hurt, but I felt this was more of a sex story with the idea of a haunting thrown in. I would not recommend. ( )
