8 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
A sexy gothic romance based on Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" Liam MacGregor is cursed. Haunted by the wails of fantastical Bean Sidhes and labeled a demon by the villagers of Dchas, Liam has accepted that things will never get better for him?until a wealthy heiress named Annabel Leighton arrives on the island and Liam's fate is changed forever. With Anna, Liam finally finds the happiness he has always been denied, but the violent, mythical Otherworlders, who inhabit the island and the sea around it, have other plans. They make a wager on the couple's love, testing its strength through a series of cruel obstacles. But the tragedies draw Liam and Anna even closer. Frustrated, the creatures put the couple through one last trial?and this time it's not only their love that's in danger of being destroyed. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's chilling poem Annabel Lee, with references to many of his other poems including The Raven, Mary Lindsey creates a frighteningly beautiful gothic novel that glorifies the power of true love. Perfect for fans of Lauren Kate's Fallen series, Kendra Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood, and Kelly Creagh's Nevermore. Praise for Ashes on the Waves ?Achingly beautiful and darkly sensuous ... an extraordinary read that left me breathless at every turn! ?Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of Firelight ?Mary Lindsey, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, has created a haunting, mystical world. I loved this tragic, romantic story. ?Cate Tiernan, author of Sweep and Immortal Beloved

She looked like something out of a dream. . . or a nightmare.

My #TitlesAndTunes picks for May.

I started this book once a few years ago. Based on Poe‘s Annabel Lee, this is a gothic tale of love cursed by the otherworldly beings who inhabit the island and the sea around it.
Song choice is The Islander by Nightwish, a haunting song that, I think, matches the tone of the book.

BeansPage That looks so yummy 😋 5y
Linsy Love your pumpkins! 5y
flying_monkeys I believe the “proper“ term is rustic (instead of messy) - at least that's what they say on the Great British Baking Show 😺 And that cake looks delish! 5y

This book was heartbreaking, but absolutely beautiful. Fans of the poem Annabel Lee will appreciate the dark beauty of the story. I could not put this book down.
