Book Blurb
But the eerie manor house is hiding more than a ruined garden and plumbing issues, and it's up to Sara to find out what the loyal staff isn't telling. When Sara finds Jack talking to an empty room, she begins to wonder if she made the right decision uprooting her tiny family as the spooky surroundings fuel her imagination.
Especially when she starts to hear the voice talk back.
Is her ancestor's unnatural attachment to Jack borne of concern or something more sinister? When she discovers the truth, will Sara accept the legacy she's inherited, or run for her life?

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
This story
starts out interesting as Sara learns of her inheritance. Sara has inherited an
English estate and she moves in with her son Jack. They are welcomed with open arms as Sara
tries to get used to being a Lady. Jack
finds a new friend in a mystery lady that warns he can’t stay there. Sara becomes angry for the warnings that
could scare her son. She searches for
the woman but never finds her until she realizes she is the ghost of a former
Lady Darling. Sara’s confusion and disbelief about the whole situation is a
realistic reaction. She comes across as
a relatable character that balks at the strict English etiquette which
accompanies her title. It is fun to
watch the American try to fit in to the British Nobility.
Will is the
son of the former grounds keeper and is drawn to Sara instantly. He wants to help her get used to being a Lady
and hopes she will choose to stay at the manor.
He and Sara start to grow closer as he helps her figure out what is
truly going on as the ghost of Gemma Darling tries to tell Sara about the
danger to come. Sara is determined to
make the right choices for the manor and protect her son from any danger that
could arise. Will promises to help her
as she learns to trust him.
Unfortunately,
she learns that the danger Gemma warns about is truly real and those she
thought she could trust betray her. She
fights to save those she loves.
It is quite
the journey as her best friend, her son, and Will join her in. Then add in the ghost and the warnings of
danger and the suspense grows. You have
no clue what is truly going on. The
visions Sara has freak her out when she realizes they aren’t just dreams. When the author finally reveals the true
danger, it is quite shocking. The ideas
are medieval in nature and in modern times, barbaric. It adds a dark edge to the story as Sara
realizes what is happening and who is involved.
It was an interesting ride, I give it a 4 out of 5.
