Description: Long ago, Arthur Poole built a grand house overlooking the turbulent ocean, in a Maine village that bore his name. Today, Sonya MacTavish lives in that house—a manor that has been cursed for generations. Within its walls, she has witnessed the deaths of seven brides and the thefts of seven wedding rings. And now, to break the curse and banish a malevolent spirit once and for all, a difficult task must be completed.
After Sonya, her boyfriend, Trey, and their friends are forced to hear, see—and feel—the suffering of the house’s many ghosts as their torment is reenacted by the evil presence, their bond only strengthens and their anger is renewed. Refusing to let her spirit be broken, Sonya searches each room for clues to her ancestors’ hidden story, putting the picture together, unearthing small treasures, and uncovering the moments of joy that existed among the sorrows. She’s determined to bring light to this haunted place—to fill it with people, with life and hope, once again.
But the enemy in the black dress continues to hover, to come at her in frightening forms. They may be illusions—but illusions can be powerful enough to wound and kill. She feeds on fear, and lies are her weapon. This dark-hearted witch wants to be mistress of Poole Manor, at any cost. And Sonya will need to fight a battle across two realms to finally take possession of the house on the clifftop—and of her own future…
Genre: Romance - Paranormal Suspense
Why I Picked This Book: I have loved this trilogy and have been so looking forward to this book.
My Impression: I have thoroughly enjoyed the first two books though I do feel that my family failed me a bit because at no point have I inherited a haunted family manor with a boatload of (mostly) helpful ghosts. Each of the first two books have ended on a cliffhanger and I have been highly anticipating how Sonya, Cleo, Trey, and Owen were going to defeat the truly awful Hester Dobbs.
I enjoyed spending more time with the four main characters, their pets, and the ghosts that inhabit the historic old house. I really enjoyed that we got to know Colin a little bit more and that Sonya is increasingly making the house her own. The story is compelling and I enjoyed watching as they figured out how to fight the evil Hester Dobbs.
There was a bit more filler than necessary which is what kept this from being an absolute win for me. I have really enjoyed this trilogy and am a bit sad that my time at Lost Bride Manor has come to an end though I have enjoyed the ride!
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Of course! I'm looking forward to whatever Roberts publishes next and have a few of her past books on deck to reread.
Would I Recommend this Book? I would absolutely recommend this trilogy but this is definitely one that needs to be read in order.
* I received this book in exchange for an honest review. As always my opinions and impressions are completely my own. *
