Somber Island by T. Lynne TollesBased on the synopsis, I thought Somber Island had the makings of a great historical/ paranormal romance/ Cinderella-ish, gothic tale, but it just fell short for me. I think that if it were longer, the story could've been better developed, and the events flushed out. Things were happening too quickly, without any follow up to some major events that had taken place. Perhaps a prologue giving a back story on the hero, the villain etc, could've added to the mystery; and a little more background on the heroine would've added some depth to her character so the reader could actually care what happened to her. Not only was the heroine Phoebe just silly at times, so was the hero, the villain, and even the supporting characters. That said, the cover is just beautiful; if I could give it 5 stars for the cover alone, I would.
