"After a steady diet of the mistreatment of women in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Iran, I was ready to be entertained. The Mistress of Mellyn did not disappoint. I was immediately enthralled by the characters and found myself reading far longer than usual. A quick and easy read, but worth the journey!"
"This book kind of smacks of Rebecca/Jane Eyre -- a mysterious house with a tragic past. The girl is sent as a governess, but falls deeply in love with the master of the house, etc. BUT, I am a sucker for that kind of story, and, while I have my doubts about the ability of a previously total philanderer to become a devoted and faithful spouse ultra quicly, I still thought it had a good ending and really enjoyed the read."
"This is my first Victoria Holt book (I guess she's a famous romance/ mystery author?). I liked how it was written, it's a good mystery and it definitely creeped me out at times. I wish there was a little more development with the love story, but I liked it enough to try some of her other books."
"This book reminded me of Jane Eyre which is a favourite, and I loved that the ending was able to surprise me. Not as well written as Jane Eyre, but still a great enjoyable read. I had a hard time putting it down."
