After finding her fiancé in a compromising position with her cousin, Sonya MacTavish needs an escape. When a lawyer turns up on her doorstep out of the blue with news that she has inherited a beautiful Victorian house, Sonya thinks maybe this is just the change of scene she needs.
The house - nicknamed Lost Bride manor - is beautiful, the setting idyllic and the local town offers Sonya the smalltown comforts she craves after life in a big city. So what if there are sometimes shadows in the windows, objects move of their own accord and music starts playing out of nowhere. Sonya can live with the house being a little haunted.
But things soon start to take a darker turn and it becomes clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle she must solve if there is any hope of breaking it...

I'm a fan of the author and have read a few of her books. Some of her books are just romance novels and I don't like those but she writes in other genres as well. I knew I had to read Inheritance when I saw the cover and read the blurb. I loved this book. It's the first of a trilogy and ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger. The second book is not out until November. I can't wait to read it. My library better have it or heads will roll! I couldn't stop reading once I'd started. I loved Sonya, she's feisty even though the book opens with heartache and determined to develops her business, put her messy past behind her and get to know her new family. This is well-written and engrossing. I loved every word. I'd recommend this.
5/5
