Reviews with content warning for Death - Inheritance

By god I feel like I've been sleeping on Nora Roberts now. I've read J.D. Robb before but never a 'Para-nora" as they're called. If they're all like this I'm going to drown in amazing reads.

The cliffhanger ending on this one has me absolutely electrified for book two!

She knew now what her mermaid held cupped in her hands. Not a gem, not a shell. She’d hold a clear glass ball. Inside the ball, another mermaid sat on the rock, looking out at sea, a whale sounding, with a glass ball in her hand. And in that, yet another.

I haven’t read a Nora Roberts novel in years but I was told her latest was pretty good. Inheritance is Book one in The Lost Bride Trilogy. It has paranormal elements which intrigued me. The FMC, Sonya, inherits a haunted gothic mansion from an uncle she never knew she had. She, her BFF and two male love interests are trying to figure out the multiple mysteries that lay within the mansion.

There were many repetitive writing throughout the book: taking the dog out, exercising, cooking and work projects over and over. It ended on a legit cliffhanger and I found myself wanting more. Book one seemed to the set up to the rest of the trilogy. All in all, it’s a solid read. I will continue the series.

3.75 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️💫

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. If you’ve read any of her books, this one is basically the same, though since it is a trilogy, some characters have not yet been introduced. Sonya inherits a house and all the history that goes with it, including the ghosts. Most of the ghosts are benign, some even helpful, but the ghost of a woman scorned keeps all the other ghosts trapped with a curse. Apparently, Sonya must figure out what the mean ghost wants in order to free everyone else.

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!
