Of course, the more time Kate spends in the house, she feels that Leah is tormenting her and putting a damper on any relationship she hopes to form with Cass.
Dancing Ladies is a great tale that grabs hold of the reader. Once I started reading it, I found it hard to put down. I wasn’t going to read it at night, and then thought I can easily stop, especially since a storm was passing through. Well, I couldn’t stop until the ending, which left me with a few spine-tingling sensations. The romantic suspense in this story is stunning. I admired Kate in her struggle to try to make a life for her and Max. This reader could share in her love for Max as well as for a new start with Cass. Kate and Cass are a fantastic couple that makes this read intriguing. Marilyn Gardiner weaves a great paranormal with just the right touch of mystery. Her style of writing really kept me spellbound to this engaging read.
