An intriguing start to a series. Psychic medium Mark discovers that 400 years ago, his ancestor put a curse on another family for all eternity. His grandmother insists that he find out if the curse is in effect and, to his horror, he discovers that it is. He then makes it his mission to break the curse before it can claim any more victims. Along the way, he meets archaeologist, Jack, and the two are instantly drawn to each other. I found the curse and the backstory interesting and look forward to reading the remaining two stories in the series to find out how they break it.

Oh yes, enjoyed this a lot, and looking forward to the story continuing in the other two books.
I enjoyed Mark's psychic abilities, and his safe room was very visual. I'd have loved to read more about the research/back ground, especially the current Fitzwarrens. Maybe that will come in the following books. As it is a story told in 3 books I suppose a lot of what I would expect in the early part of a one book story, has to be spread out over the three.
Anyway, enjoyed Jack and Mark together, though they did move very fast (again, I think the downside of a three book story) and looking forward to seeing the others get their story.

A good start to the Fitzwarren Inheritance Trilogy, laying the foundations for the next two books. The length of the book hinders the full development of the MCs characters and left some loose ends that, hopefully, will be addressed in the next books.

3.5 stars. This book, being a first part of a trilogy, actually didn't feel like a complete book on its own. Other than learning about the details of the curse and the tragedy surrounding it (which was well written. I think I was perhaps more concerned for the guys in the past than the ones in the present, and felt so sad for all involved), nothing's really concluded at the end.
I guess I'll need to read books 2 & 3 to get the whole story. I'll put them on my potential buy list, for when my to-read shelf gets more manageable.

Not bad, but... it didn't really grab me. Too short, too undeveloped, too rushed.
I liked the central idea, but the whole thing felt hurried and the romance... well... it made no sense at all. If Jack wouldn't have been so furiously angry at Mark's gift, and if they wouldn't fall into bed at the very moment, maybe. But they knew each other for two days and they are in love? Sorry, I don't buy it.
I might read the next one, because, as I said, I liked the idea, and I liked the paranormal aspect of it. But I'm not in a rush.
