Excellent little story of family secrets and what happens when a tightly woven lie begins to unravel.In this story, Peter and Helen Radley have moved out to a pleasant village in the English country-side to raise their children, Rowan and Clara. They wanted to escape their wild life in London and li...
Yes this was another vampire tale; however, I did enjoy the twists Haig brought forth in his version.

The characters were easy to connect with, mostly likeable and believable. I like the originality, as Haig portrays t...
The Radleys is not exactly a paranormal romance. Both the back of the book and the introductory letter (in our ARC) by Free Press Senior Editor Amber Qureshi call it a 'domestic drama', or as Amber says, more of an American Beauty than a Twilight. This is an accurate description (I think - I barely ...
