A gripping psychological drama that captures the absolute terror that the past can have on the present. Cassie is haunted first by nightmares and then even in the daytime when her thoughts seem to be taken over by terrors from the past and particularly by Zillah and her horrific experiences. The question is, can Cassie be cured? Cassie’s fears are vivid and chilling.
The Lovereading comment:
Every atrocity. Every war. Every act of vengeance. One fallen angel
walks the earth to bring mankind to its destruction...Turning love into
hate, forgiveness into blame, hope into despair. Through the fires of
hell he will come to haunt one girl's dreams. But what if everything she
ever dreamed was true?
Every time Cassie Smith tries to sleep, she is plagued by visions of a death: A little girl called Zillah. A victim of the holocaust. In desperation Cassie is sent for treatment in an old manor house. There she meets other children just like her. Including Seth...Seth who looks so familiar. Her dream becomes nightmare. And then reality.
