Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Every now and then you come across a book that portrays a common subject, but finds a new interesting way to spin it all. Those are the books I love to discover and this is one of them. The plot is fun and moves along at a great pace keeping you at the edge of your seat. This was one of those that was difficult to put down, and one I started it took me no time at all to finish it.</div> <div class="reviewText" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> </div> <div class="reviewText" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;margin-bottom:.5em;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:middle;width:65px;height:13px;background:url(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/g/01/common/sprites/sprite-site-wide-3._v375430972_.png) no-repeat -30px 0px;" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><b>An richly imagined world of ghosts and ghost killers</b>, February 22, 2015</span></div> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;margin-bottom:.5em;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By </div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2F9JPL0X8W9MV/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp" style="color:rgb(0,75,145);"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jen</span></a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2F9JPL0X8W9MV/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview" style="color:rgb(0,75,145);">See all my reviews</a></div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"><b style="font-size:x-small;line-height:1.6em;"><span class="h3color tiny" style="color:rgb(228,121,17);">This review is from: </span>What Haunts Me (Ghost Killer - Book I) (Kindle Edition)</b></div> </div> <div class="reviewText" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">What Haunts Me is a very well-written ghost story that brought to mind one of Charles Dickens’ worlds, even though it's contemporary. There’s something formal, classic, and almost nostalgic feeling about the story. It's unusually “clean”, or maybe just compared to everything I've read recently, as in no swearing or sex, which might really appeal to certain readers. I’m always on the lookout for errors, since I get a lot of my books from promotional sites, and this story has none...flawless!</div> </div>
