Inheritance: The Lost Bride Trilogy, Book 1
Nora Roberts
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author Nora Roberts concludes her compelling Lost Bride trilogy as two women—one dead, one alive—prepare for a terrifying final showdown… 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. “...[Narrator] Brittany Pressley provides just the right touch of Cajun intonation... [her] performance reflects the bond that forms among the characters as they battle the malevolent witch.”—AudioFile A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press

AnderssonTrey and Sonya
"I have been reading the books by this author since 1981 and I have never missed one of them. Nor will I. At 82 years old in two months I can only hope she writes faster. She never lets her readers down. I've was waiting for this final book of the Lost Bride Series and it certainly was worth the wait. It is, in my opinion, one of her finest books. I always do my reading in bed at night before turning off the light. It's a great way for me to judge a book. Interesting, stay with it for a while. Not so hot, turn off the light and go to sleep. Brilliant, stay awake and read until sleep wins and I have no choice but to put the book down. I really did not want this book to end and I could not put it down. Sonya is inspiring, independent, sassy and not afraid to take on an ancient, evil witch. She literally made a promise to the lost brides and she was going to keep that promise no matter what. Even if it killed her, and on occasion that didn't seem unlikely to happen. Her best friend, Cleo is a fabulous sidekick. The two male alphas, Owen and Trey, are everything anybody could wish for in masculine backup. Trey takes protecting Sonya very serious and Owen, Sonya's cousin, bites the dust with Cleo. As a foursome with a beat the witch agenda they are awesome together. Honest, I just can't express how much I loved this series ending. Classic Nora Roberts. ["
