From the Salem Witch trials through the Nineteenth Century and beyond, the devil’s disciple pursues young and innocent Annabel Horton. During the Incident at Loudun in 1633 Urban Grandier’s soul was taken by the devil in a furious confrontation between good and evil. The once pious priest becomes the demonic priest. His curse is on Annabel for forsaking him to Lucifer and he pursues her through time as she taunts his beliefs and he reviles hers. As Annabel flees the devil’s fire she must take the bodies of those that the devil favors to protect her family. She must uncover the motive behind the illusive Ursula/Louis Boussidan, the scandalous cross-dresser who is pursuing her beautiful granddaughter, and she must learn, being one of God’s most powerful witches, how to use her power. But will it be enough to save her husband from Urbain’s fiery inferno? Will it be enough to save her children from demons greater than themselves?

As for pleasure I love wine, chocolate, dogs, cats and other creatures of the jungle. I also love to travel, read, write, watch films and go to theater. I value friendship, history, my enormously loving family and quiet times under a summer sun.
Annabel is a Christian woman that has been blessed with some special abilities. The devil has sent one of this minions, Urban Grandier to force her to use her abilities to keep her family safe throughout time. Annabel does Urban’s bidding while she tries to figure out why her and her family. There has to be a reason and way out of the torment her and her family go through.
This story starts out slow but takes of like a shot. Annabel is determined to keep her family safe throughout time but it’s not always his fault the troubles they find themselves in, they make plenty of errors on their own too. I really like how Annabel travels through time. She may be stealing bodies but there are no time travel paradoxes that she runs into.
This is a really good story and worth checking out. The writing is very detailed and makes you feel the scenes. I will admit that I did get irritated with some of it since it drew out paragraphs without really tell you what was going on. It is definitely a different approach to paranormal stories.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
