Salem. Will history repeat itself?
In 1692, Salem, Massachusetts was the setting for the infamous persecution of innocents accused of witchcraft. Three centuries later, little has changed. Helen Evett, widowed mother of two and owner of a prestigious preschool in town, finds her family, her fortunes, and her life's work threatened -- all because she feels driven to protect the sweet three-year-old daughter of a man who knows everything about finance but not so much about fathering. Helen's feelings toward little Katie's handsome father are decidedly mixed, and it will take more than knocks in the night, perfumed air, and bone-chilling cold to convince her otherwise.
Nathaniel Byrne is willing to consider Helen's advice and help. But he does it grudgingly, because the woman is by far the most determined, pushy force he's ever encountered. Recently widowed, tormented by the circumstances, and at sea about being a single parent, Nat is not inclined to hand over his daughter to just any preschool -- not when he has an accomplished, London-trained nanny who's more than willing to make those decisions for him.
And the nanny herself? Peaches Bartholemew is as clever as she is beautiful, as efficient as she is soothing. Peaches can do anything. The trick, for Nat's dead wife, will be to keep her from doing it.
Reviews
"BEYOND MIDNIGHT has a terrific plot, a wicked villain, and a sexy hero. But the novel ventures beyond sheer entertainment, and it is easy to see why Stockenberg's work has won such acclaim. The theme and setting create a terrifying scenario, even without the supernatural elements a chilling correspondence between the events of Salem's witch-hunting hysteria and contemporary allegations of ritualistic abuse in preschools. A good read that makes you think. Comes awfully close to—dare I say it?—literature."
—Katherine Hennessey Wikoff, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Entertaining and fun. BEYOND MIDNIGHT'S shining strengths are its insights into parenting and relationship issues, its brazen humor, its writing style, its to-die-for hero, its cunning villain, and its intriguing supernatural overtones."
—Kristi Lyn Glass, editor, Gothic Journal
“When it comes to unique, eerie and engrossing tales of supernatural suspense, author Antoinette Stockenberg is in a league of her own.

"Helen Evett, owner of a thriving pre-school in Salem, becomes the object of a modern witch hunt that endangers her family, her business, and her enchanting newfound love.

Beyond Midnight edition by Antoinette Stockenberg Romance eBooks
I couldn't put this book down! Even though this book was written 20 years ago, it is still a fantastic read. Ms. Stockenberg is a terrific author and really knows how to keep the interest of the reader. The paranormal aspect of the book is not overdone and really enhances the plot. The villainess (is that a word?) actually caused a few goosebumps. Although there is a murder and another death in the book, they are not described in gruesome details. I have recommended this book to a friend. It is a keeper.Sexual situations (especially the first one) may offend some readers

Beyond Midnight edition by Antoinette Stockenberg Romance eBooks Reviews
This is one of the times I wish had half star ratings. This book is a solid 3 1/2 stars, but I couldn't give it four. Good solid story with sympathetic characters and an intriguing premise--but. But I figured out the entire plot in the first couple of chapters and there were no unexpected plot twists or interesting twists in the entire book. But it seemed repetitious at times, repeating over and over what we already knew about the characters.
That having been said, I read it all the way through and would quite possibly read another by this author.
Once I started reading this book, it was hard to tear myself away from it! I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. The sense of atmosphere the author creates is absolutely magical. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Stockenberg, but it certainly won't be my last. She is my new favorite author. I highly recommend "Beyond Midnight".
Beyond Midnight was an engrossing read but because the pace was rather slow at times when I did finished the book I felt a bit worn out. It's some what difficult to explain. On the other hand, some of my exhaustion was due to the fact that the story caused me to experience a variety of emotions sadness, outrage, anger, dismay, frustration, pleasure, humor and delight. Rather than a mystery, I would say that this book is more of a suspense or thriller a with a hit of the paranormal and dashes of romance. The reader already knows who the murderer is so there's no mystery there. There are a couple of love scenes but they are NOT explicitedly detailed. I think the main appeal lies in the plot and the manner in which the author delivers the story. Moreover, for the most part it a very believable story and the candid examination of the various family dynamics adds to the overall realism of the story.
There is sufficient character development and I like both Helen and Nate. There maybe a few typos but nothing that distracted me from enjoying the story.
Stockenberg did it again! She reels you in, gets you deeply involved with her wonderful characters and then you don't go to sleep because you just have to know what happens!
A widowed preschool owner, a stay at home Mom overly anxious to get her young daughter enrolled, a rich handsome husband who is widowed suddenly, along with a nanny named Peaches who knows all...and they are just the main characters!
A wonderful read, complete with an owl and a ghost!
I was gripped from beginning to end. This author is a favorite of mine due to her intriguing story lines and unforgettable characters. Helen Evert has many weird obstacles to surmount in her home town of Salem, in order to find happiness for her and her two kids with newly widowed Nathaniel and his preschooler Katie. But this time...will the obstacles cost her devastating personal loss?
This is not a new book by this author; it was published in 1996, but I thought the writing and plot were more developed and mature than some of her newer novels. The story takes place in Salem, Massachusetts. Helen is the widow of a police officer. She has two teenaged kids and she owns a preschool that caters to the upper crust society in Salem. One evening she receives a strange phone call from a woman who acts desperate to get her daughter into the preschool. She gives the impression that she is quite ill and that she can't possibly come to the school for an interview. Won't Helen please come to her house to meet them? Helen never does that, but something about the situation makes Helen agree. She shows up at the exclusive address and meets the daughter and her young and very beautiful nanny. Shortly after arriving, the husband calls desperately from upstairs and the nanny goes up to see what it is about. Then without explanation, Helen is escorted from the home without meeting the father or mother. A few days later, she learns the mother died...probably while she was at the house. For some unexplained reason Helen now feels an obligation to the mother and daughter and ties to this family. A strange tale of ghosts, witchcraft, secrets, greed, and romance ensue. Good read.
It's not often that I sit down with a book and a hot steamy cup of coffee and get so engrossed in the story that I completely forget the coffee. That is exactly what happened with this story. Not once...but several times.
The story of Helen and her preschool will bring you laughter. Her loss will bring you tears. Little Katie is a treasure.
I expected a nanny wants the rich guy scenario, expecting the usual storyline, and was so completely overwhelmed at the direction this book took. It takes an awful lot to make me forget my coffee.
I paid for this book, and I can't think of money better spent. A not to be missed attention getting story that defies explanation. READ IT.
