Customer Reviews:

Writing at it's best, DJ Manly takes us on a journey of a lifetime (literaly for some of the characters) This beautiful love story wrenches the heart.
The unknown and unexpected events leave you a little shocked, but entranced. Sometimes scary and disturbing the love felt in this book transcends
this plane of existence. Reese tries to start over, but gets pulled into a story decades old. Pulled into an eerie atmosphere, secrets are found
out, family ties exposed and maybe just maybe love will win after all.

D.J. Manly has done it again. Right from the start I was completely drawn in and, as the story progressed, connected more and more with the
characters, especially Reese and Ethan. This is a ghost story, sometimes eerie, often disturbing, but always enthralling. rnrnReese is down-to-earth
and determined to make a go of Mountain Escape, the place his deceased partner Danny had bought for him. A place where Reese could keep busy doing
what he loved and provide a home base for Danny when he wasn't travelling for his job. But Danny's dead and Reese has decided that he wants Mountain
Escape, he wants to turn the dream into reality. rnI enjoyed the vividness of the descriptions used by D.J. Manly to bring to life not only the
arearnbut of the hotel itself. I loved the humanness of Reese and of the caretaker, Hans who's lived there most of his life. rnrnAnd then the eerie
whispers, the strange shadows began and the story reached a new level of fascination.rnThere were times that I would find myself so caught up in the
mystery and the tragedy of the past that I couldn't put the book down. The process of revealing the secrets of Escape Mountain was done sometimes
excruciatingly slowly, but the movement was always forward. rnWould I read it again? You bet...anyime. It's an awesome ghost story with events that
horrify and others that amuse or tug on the heatstrings, but it is always an unforgettable romance.
