Beyond Dusk: Anne (House of Crimson and Clover) by Sarah M. Cradit

This is a very short story with a lot happening in very few pages. Anne Fontaine is looking for her sister, Adrienne, and finds Nicolas Deschanel instead. Nicolas is tired of people coming out of the woodwork attempting to lay claim to his family's money and decides to play a ruthlessly humiliating game on her. Neither knows who the other truly is and both are in for a big surprise.

Cradit has reinforced the decision I made last year to be open to short stories. I wanted more at the end of the book and had no more from her to read. Her characters were eminently believable, with pasts that show what they are made of and from where they draw their strength. 

There is really very little I can say without spoiling the story for someone else. So I will settle for this, after reading this book, I promptly purchased and downloaded every title related to this series that my favorite bookseller offered. Needless to say, I've found another author I need to make room for on my shelves (once I build new shelves that is). 

If you enjoy a good paranormal story that is well written, well edited with believable characters, then you need to pick up this book. You may just end up getting the rest of them like I did. I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 5 stars
