Summary: A car accident results in a young man’s convalescence at a convent where the unconventional nuns heal his injuries with miraculous speed. But this is a most unusual order of nuns, who wear their hair loose and flowing, go barefoot and excel at wine-making. The young traveller wavers between fascination and fear as he suspects the Crimson Convent nuns of hiding dark secrets.

Thoughts: This is a compelling and dark read for spooky season! It holds all the hallmarks of a sexy gothic story - a convent with a tragic past, a group of nuns holding mysterious rituals late at night, and a sinister scarecrow standing watch over the vines. I couldn’t stop reading. You can almost imagine a breathless Victorian-era maiden reading this by secret candlelight. A fun read.
