The Warwicks of Slumber Mountain
By Cheryl B. Dale
This is the story of Belinda Rand, Lindy as known by close friends and
family, and the struggle that she goes through to find herself and her destiny.
Lassitan is a quiet town in northern
Georgia that like most small towns have their own folklore and rumors about
other people in town, in this story that is the Warwick family. The Warwicks
are said to be witches, or some other type of supernatural beings that if you crossed
or mingled with them you would live to regret it. Lindy thought she knew all
too well about the power the Warwicks had when she befriended a Warick named
Gareth and soon after that experienced a loss in her family. Gareth and Lindy had no further interaction
until one night she was coming home from work, and saved his life and this is
the turning point in the story when Lindy begins to realize she could be
destined and capable of more than she had ever expected.
The story begins with introducing Lindy, her abusive and tragic past, the
stories about the Warwick family, and how little of herself she thinks of.
Lindy in the beginning of the story feels unworthy of a successful life that she dreams of having.
As I mentioned in the synopsis she saves one of the Warwicks, Gareth, from
drowning in the lake but what I failed to mention is how. Lindy does however
have one upper hand compared to everyone else, she can hear a subconscious
voice that allows her to hear animals in stress, but can sometimes hear humans.
The night she saved Gareth she heard him floating in the lake on the verge of
drowning. After taking a possibly drunk
Gareth home, she makes a deal that changes her entire life, even though she
thinks it is all a dream. I’m not going to tell you what the deal is because
then you wouldn’t want to read this amazing book. Lindy leaves Lassitan and
does not return until 10 years later, to fulfill her end of the deal she made
with the Warwick family.
Although I am leaving quite a bit of
mystery for you, please note that this story captures almost every element of
what a reader would want to read. It features magic, love, murder, mystery, and
much much more. When I first saw the cover, and read the description I was
highly skeptical but once I started this book I simply could not put it down, I
was that enveloped in what was going to happen next.
