everything about this book storywise was PERFECT. from a multigenerational curse, the history of the family, and a big bad witch to defeat, to a haunted manor with a plethora of endearing ghosts, to the mystery of the brides, and why they were cursed, and the spooky but enchanting way it draws you in. All of this was perfect, and I even like the main characters, Sonya and Cleo - 2 bad ass women in the creative field who don’t take ish from anyone. now.. what I could do without is the pages upon pages of long winded dialogue about things that didn’t even pertain to the story, and we focused so much on Sonya’s work and going into detail about her projects, we want to hear about the spooky mansion!! Not her graphic design! this book was SO LONG because of that, and I also don’t really care for the half baked romance. Other than that, I of course will be reading the next one, because FINALLY we have a cliffhanger with the turning point!

The ending!!! What a cliffhanger. And one I was not expecting. And to think I have to wait months/years? for the second book, since this one won’t be released until November!
First, a huge thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for the privilege of reading Inheritance.
I recently read Identity by Norah Roberts and thought this might be similar. And while it is Nora Roberts’s writing style with amazing characters and writing, this 400 plus page book has so many more twists and turns. Plus did I mention the surprise conclusion? The characters, the setting, the romance, the ghosts are all woven together in a way that draws the reader into the story immediately. I really want to know more. This one is so good, I can’t believe I can’t just keep reading the second, and third, books in this trilogy. I will return. I just hope Sonja and Owen do as well!
