Ana
Deschanel has made a terrible mistake. The only chance of protecting
the other people involved is to flee New Orleans, the only home she
has ever known, for the quiet solitude of Summer Island.
Summer
Island, Maine (population 202) is not the tranquil escape Ana
imagined. The locals are distant and cold, especially her neighbor,
the reclusive veterinarian Jonathan St. Andrews. Her only lifeline is
the kind but odd caretaker Alex Whitman. Showing up at all the right
moments, he warns her she is completely unprepared for a Maine
winter. As the first winter storm approaches to whispers of an island
shutdown- Ana realizes that she may soon be cut off from the rest of
the world.
After
a surprising encounter with Jonathan’s brother, Finn, Ana finds
herself braving the storm to return something to him. Unprepared for
the Maine storm, she slips and falls onto the jagged rocks along the
shore. The St. Andrews brothers find her in the nick of time, but she
remains unconscious. As the storm worsens, the St. Andrews brothers
learn there are other, more sinister forces at work closer than they
ever imagined.
With
no help from the outside world, they must find a way to protect
themselves from both the storm, and the growing darkness that looms
across the island.
What
Reviewers Are Saying About The Storm and the Darkness:
"A
suspenseful adult thriller. Reading this book felt much like riding a
roller coaster, from the building crescendo, to surprising moments of
laughter, to an end that satisfies with a strange mixture of relief,
sadness, and a hunger for more."
"The
Storm and the Darkness is a very well written fast paced story, I
couldn't put it down."
"Sarah
Cradit's writing is tight and masterful. There were no points during
the journey through reading this novel where I thought anything could
have been removed or expanded upon. Her keen sense of how to pace a
book and her ability to use just the right language to express the
desires, fears and hopes of her characters is flawless."
"I
highly recommend The Storm and the Darkness, a tale of mystery,
drama, and suspense, and the prequel, St. Charles at Dusk."
"Cradit
has the awesome talent of making each character believable. Making
the reader sit on the edge of their set waiting for more."
"If
you like to read and fully immerse yourself into your reading this is
the book for you."
"Now
I just have to get my hands on the first book, and the next and next
and next until I am satisfied!"
"Wow.
Mystery, magic, suspense that even made me slightly jumpy, family and
just enough romantic intrigue to keep me well, intrigued :) The
writing is fabulously done, I loved how Sarah M. Cradit tells a
story."

The
House of Crimson and Clover Series
The
House of Crimson and Clover series follows the lives of two New
Orleans families: the august and mysterious Sullivans and Deschanels.
The Sullivans, a family of hard-working Irish lawyers, have come from
nothing and built a life they can be proud of. The Deschanels, a
moderately wealthy family who became extremely wealthy by siding with
the North during the Civil War, betraying their people. Both families
have a dark and rich history, full of secrets, and full of surprises.
The
books in this series unravel the stories of both the individuals as
well as the families themselves, discovering the ways these families
and their secrets intersect, and each story pulls us even farther
into their stories.
While
the series is meant to be treated as one long narrative, each book
can stand-alone and be enjoyed without having read the other books.

At
twenty-one years old, Oz Sullivan is unable to understand his
fascination with and attraction to a much younger Adrienne Deschanel.
Adrienne is spirited, passionate, and impulsive... all of the things
Oz is not. Oz is drawn to her in a way that is inexplicable to him,
and deeply concerning to those who know him.
Amidst her father’s threats, Adrienne makes secret plans to run away with Oz. Before they can act on them, Adrienne and her family are involved in a tragic accident that takes the lives of the entire family. Adrienne’s body, however, is not found in the wreckage. Oz is devastated and unable to move on when an extensive investigation fails to solve the mystery of Adrienne’s vanishing.
Three years later Oz has made a life for himself as an attorney at his family’s law firm. However, the predictability and peace of his quiet life is shattered when Adrienne is discovered, alive and well…but with no memory of anything before the accident. Oz is conflicted: grateful that she is alive but still damaged from her disappearance and hesitant to get involved and re-open a wound that never fully closed. Yet, Oz finds himself unable to resist helping when Adrienne’s desperate attempt to flee the confusing and dark influences in her life instinctively finds her on Oz’s doorstep. Unable to turn her away, but equally unable to get too involved, Oz keeps from her the truth of who he was and what they meant to each other before she disappeared. Against his better judgment he finds himself enmeshed in the mystery of what happened to her when she was sixteen. The more he learns, the less he understands, and as the story unfolds and Adrienne’s memory slowly returns, everything they thought they both knew gets called into question.
