Some things are better left alone. Secrets are better left buried. Sometimes greed and curiosity will cause you to loose your life, or take a life. Micheal Rivers's Verliege is a short tale but will leave you feeling like you just finished a 300+ page novel. A spooky ghost story of a read, quite a few times I would have goosebumps all up my arms. Rivers's writing is so descriptive you will feel like you are there, in the story, watching as every single person who walks through those castle doors has their life changed forever. This is the third book I have read by Rivers, and is quite possibly my favorite. Fans of a good ghost story will LOVE Verliege. Don't try to figure out the story ahead of time. Be patient and enjoy the read!
