About this book

Seraphina Locke is a woman of logic, finding comfort in the quiet order of restoring antique books. Her carefully constructed reality shatters when she inherits Hollowmere House, a decaying Gothic manor perched on the windswept cliffs of Massachusetts. She expects a simple property transaction; instead, she discovers a residence that breathes, remembers, and holds a century of secrets within its walls.

The house is far from empty. Bound by ancient, lingering magic, Nathaniel has been trapped within the manor’s shadows for over a hundred years. He is neither fully ghost nor flesh, a tragic figure tethered to the estate and deeply resentful of the Locke bloodline. As Seraphina unearths hidden grimoires and realizes her own dormant power as a witch, the friction between her and the brooding spirit ignites into a volatile, forbidden attraction that defies the boundaries of life and death.

This atmospheric paranormal romance masterfully blends historical mystery with a chilling, supernatural edge. As the house demands a new guardian, Seraphina must navigate a dangerous legacy to protect what remains of her heart. For readers who crave haunting historical settings, slow-burn romance, and the dark allure of ancestral magic, this story is an intoxicating, must-read obsession.

This book was so great. Every page read just made you want to read another. The story was so full of love and adventure. Stepping back in time and bringing that to the present was awesome. Can't wait for the next book. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. )

Storyline 5 stars, Execution 3.5

I am loving the storyline and I was sucked in immediately, but as I get further in the book, it gets a little confusing because it’s almost like we’re reading the author‘s rough draft versions. We are being given the same information several times, but in different perspectives and different delivery styles. Somewhere deep into the book about a third to halfway mark, they reveal who the Malevolent spirit is for example, talking about it as if we didn’t know who it was from the start. But in the...
