Sometime Yesterday by Yvonne Heidt
Publisher: Bold Strokes BooksGenre: Romance/Fiction/Paranormal
“Successful artist Natalie Chambers impulsively buys a
Victorian house overlooking the Pacific Ocean after her divorce. Immediately,
her dreams are haunted by Sarah and Beth, two lovers from the past and the Dark
Man who controlled their lives. When she begins to look for explanations for
the things going bump in the night, the only answer she can get from the locals
is that several previous owners had fled screaming into the night.
Landscaper Van Easton hasn’t had a serious relationship
since her partner died. Content to let women and alcohol distract her from her
pain, she is surprised at the intensity of emotion that bubbles to the surface
after she meets Natalie. Contracted to restore the gardens at Natalie’s house,
she refuses to believe that the mansion is haunted. Until the ghostly Dark Man
follows her home.
It appears he will stop at nothing to keep the new lovers apart, and the violence continues to escalate. Can they solve the mystery that will set Beth and Sarah free and banish the evil presence in the house? Or will the evil echoes of the past destroy them as well?”
Book Review
3 out of 5 stars
First let me just say that I did enjoy this book and I will
look to read other items by Yvonne Heidt.
I think it’s just unfortunate happenstance that just finished reading “Whispering
Pines by Mavis Applewater which had an almost identical premise; Haunted house,
sisters-in-law who are lovers, evil husband, death/murder… well you get the
point.
So although Sometime Yesterday
was a good read and enjoyable, I somehow felt that it was a lite version of
Whispering Pines. I also know that if I
had read them in the reverse order I’d be saying “Sometime Yesterday” was a fun
beach read. Surprisingly I didn’t find
Van that interesting but I was intrigued by Natalie and her Mom and I would
love to see a follow up that developed both Natalie and Mom. I admit it, I want to know where here art
work is going next.
