I loved this book! I first discovered Susan Carroll's Dark Queen series and was impressed, so I decided to go back and read her earlier works. The Bride Finder is the first and best of the St. Leger trilogy. It's a beautiful, original love story between two wonderfully drawn characters: the dark and wounded Anatole St. Leger, and the smart and spritely Madeline Breton. Bound by a magical legacy, Anatole dispatches the Bride Finder, who comes from a long line of Bride Finders charged with helpingOh, Anatole St. Leger. You are so emo. It is so very hard to take you seriously, but I love you anyway.This book has the feel of a Gothic. Young innocent girl moves from the big city to a mysterious castle. There are servants who don't like her much, and the master of the castle, our hero, kind of reminds me of the Beast in the Disney movie. Only more emo. Basically, Anatole had a terrible childhood, which, combined with his being a St. Leger *thunder boom* means that he feels he is just too
After wedding Anatole St. Leger by proxy, Madeline Breton finds her new home haunted and her new husband possessing supernatural powers. Spellbinding. Creative. Clever. A quick and fun read. Likeable characters. Well-paced. Similar to the Beauty and the Beast tales. Very satisfying. Has a paranormal feel. You might also like The Ground She Walks Upon by Megan McKinney.
Hello Bookworms, it's been a while!! Today I feel like giving spoilers so no secrecy today........ Sorry.Okay, lets start with the basics this is a historical romance with a hint of paranormal activity. Our two main characters Anatole St. Leger and his newly wed bride Madeline. Anatole is the lord of a castle by the sea away from any civilization (besides a nearby village). The lord (Anatole) has mystical powers like all the member of his family for many generations. In the St. Leger family all
I didn't think the plot was well developed and the relationship between the two main characters was not very well developed either. They are destined by fate to be together, but the whole time we see evidence that they should not in fact be together. The heroine was weak, cowardly and just plain annoying. We do not see the process of how the two protagonists come to see the lovable side of the other's character. Instead, we are lead to believe that a magic stone does the trick of bringing about
The Bride Finder is about the St. Leger family, specifically Anatole St. Leger the current head of the family. The St. Leger family however is not your typical family. It traces it's lineage to a particular man who's as mysterious and enigmatic as his successors. Almost everyone in the family is gifted with a strange power or ability including Anatole. His particular gifts include dark visions of things in the future and the ability to move people and objects with his mind. He's managed to live
I liked The Bride Finder, but not enough to give it 3 stars. I found the hero and heroine adorable, but the weak and unimaginative plot devices, lacklustre dialogue, and flat secondary characters just screwed the story up for me. At one point, anything, anything--the crack in the wall, the hundred year old family vase, my half-eaten apple pie--was much more interesting than reading the book. My attention kept on slipping, and not even the climax piqued my curiosity. It was such a shame because
