"England, 1890. Vampires are alive and well in North Yorkshire, leastwise in the minds of the uneducated. Librarian Rosa Edwards intends to drive a stake through the heart of such superstitions. But gossip flies when the mysterious Sir James Morgan returns from Transylvania to take up residence in his shadowy manor. The townsfolk say he is cursed. James hates everything about England. The weather. The rumours. The scorn. Yet he must stay. His mother is dying of a disease for which hes desperately trying to find a cure--an illness that will eventually take his own life. When Rosa sets out to prove the dark gossip about James is wrong, she discovers more questions than answers. How can she accept what she cant explain--especially the powerful allure of the enigmatic man? James must battle a town steeped in fear as well as the unsettling attraction he feels for the no-nonsense librarian. Can love prevail in a town filled with fear and doubt?"--Page 4 of cover.

Will superstition destroy or bring them together..
There are a few authors out there who consistently deliver fiction with the most delightfully eerie Gothic flavor to them. These are authors that I will read their books simply because I see their name on the cover â�" and Michelle Griep is one of them. With Bram Stoker's Dracula as the inspiration and the misty mysterious shores of Whitby, England as the backdrop, Man Of Mist And Shadow has all of the angst and creepiness that you could hope for in a good Gothic historical romance.
Michelle Griep had me intrigued and absorbed from the very first page of this second Of Monsters And Men novel, in fact, I think that Man Of Mist And Shadow may just be my favorite of the two. I genuinely liked Rosa and James and couldn't help but root for them to find a way through the lies, superstition, and mistrust surrounding them â�" and that doesn't even address the dangers that can be found in old castles at midnight...
Whether you are a longtime fan of Michelle Griep like I am or you are new to her Of Monsters And Men series of standalones, Man Of Shadow And Mist will not disappoint you. It's a great â�" not to mention spooky â�" way to spend a few hours on the shores of England where folklore and fact just might meet on a foggy night...

Gripping Gothic Tale
Rosa Edwards is on a personal mission to stamp out superstition through books and education. Then a stranger arrives in her village on an ill wind. While he always seems to be on hand to rescue Rosa from calamity, the villagers only see a reclusive man from Transylvania who avoids sunlight and whose mother is rumored to be a vampire. Rosa has sworn off marriage, seeking to be an 1890s career woman. Now she is surprisingly drawn to Sir James Morgan. Will a friendship with him endanger her, those she loves, and possibly even her father's livelihood?
Michelle Griep has gifted her readers with an engrossing Gothic tale filled with darkness and light, despair and hope, revenge and forgiveness. Through it all Griep leads readers to see God's sovereignty and goodness even when times are at their worse.
