About this book

Secrets lie within the walls of Redwood Manor.

The murders, alleged curse, and ghost stories have fascinated Carter ever since he moved to Ivy Grove. After attending a Halloween ball at the mansion and meeting a man almost too beautiful to be real, Carter is captivated even more.

But the man disappears afterward, leaving Carter with nothing but the memory of a kiss. Despite the warnings to stay away, Carter delves deeper into the mystery of Redwood, desperate for answers.

He soon finds himself tangled up in a century old curse, one that has claimed countless lives in the past. And at the center of that curse is the man who’d swept him off his feet.

Who is Ezekiel Warren? And how is he connected to the curse? As Carter unravels the secrets of the mansion, he begins to fall in love with the charming blond who haunts its halls. Redwood is a place for dead things, yet Carter’s never felt more alive than when in Ezekiel’s arms.

One thing is clear: Redwood Manor has a hold on Carter now. And it’s not only his life on the line, but his heart as well.

The Curse of Redwood is Book 2 in the Ivy Grove series and features a paranormal romance with an elegant but grumpy ghost, a meddlesome twink, and a few scares. Best to read in order. HEA guaranteed.

Carter and Zeke

January 16, 2024

What a wonderful installment to the series. Although I’m looking forward to more, I’m sure Carter will always be my favorite MC. This was a lovely story of love, friendship, heartbreak, and hope with some mystery and ghosts thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to meeting new characters in the next but also hoping there’s a dedicated HEA out there for a couple prominently featured in this one at some point. )

Beautiful haunted read

I really loved the ghost of Ellwood, Ben and Theo were just to cute together. So when I saw that there was going to be a second book focused on Carter and Redwood I wondered if it could match the beauty of the first book. I can honestly say that not only did it but surprised it. Carter and Zeke were great together and Redwood was so creepy and scary! This book is a perfect balance of scary and romantic, sweet and creepy which is a combination you dont find often. It was well worth the read and...

Excellent 2

Well, I thought the first book was excellent, but now it’s hard for me to decide between the two as to which is my favorite. I think it’s this one. Loved Callum. Can’t wait for the next book. )

Another fantastic read!

This book couldn’t have come at a better time. I had JUST finished reading the first in the series, and was really wanting to know how the love story between “Z” and Carter would evolve after their fly-by-night romance on Halloween day. The additional hauntings in the Redwood Manor made for an interesting complication to an already unconventional pairing, and the visions and pressure that Carter had to return to the manor throughout the book kept me guessing about what would happen until the...

An excellent read. Well developed characters, some really scary, intriguing plot, steam, tears and joy. I couldn't put it down. Loved Carter and Zeke as well as William! The ending was to die for... Highly recommend! )
