http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/5...Another lovely romance from the pen of Victoria Holt. Borrowed from a library.
THE TIME OF THE HUNTERS MOON was one of Victoria Holts best books but still a very good read overall. Took a while for the suspense to kick in but when it did it was a race against the clock to save lives; I think I clicked as to what was going on only a short while before Cordelia worked it out! There is one scene I was uncomfortable with as it broke out of the mould (and not in a good way) that you expect with these gothic reads.

When I was around 16, my mom gave me a book called Tregaron's Daughter, a gothic romance novel set in the early 20th century.

The Time of the Hunter's Moon starts and continues in a boring description of the life of a young school teacher in rural England, Cordelia's duties and her life sound very tedious and Holt describes them thus. It is like she's going through the motions, the writer and her subject.So it was very shocking when a revolting
