  Gothic in nature and shrouded in mystery this book didn't quite hit the mark with me. What worked was the beautiful writing. I enjoyed the letters and journal entries about Melmoth (Melmotka, Melmat). I thought they were brilliant. Melmoth is shown throughout time in this fashion. This book, specifically Helen's story-line takes places primarily in modern times but has an older feel to it. Speaking of Helen, I really didn't care for her or her friends all that much.
  This book is getting mixed reviews and I feel that I am in the middle of those. I can say that I liked this book but didn't love it. I was hoping for a little more creepiness and a little more Gothic horror. This book has atmosphere and I give it props for that. Even though most of this book takes place in the twenty-first century, it does feel as if it takes places in the past. She sets the stage for the atmospheric Gothic vibe. I wanted more of Melmoth and her story. But Perry keeps her shrouded in mystery which I believe was intentional as I believe she wanted readers to ask questions and decide for themselves.
  Again, I can't fault the writing, I just wanted more. My advice is if you are writing Gothic horror, don't tip toe around it – dive right in!
