“I felt haunted by him.”
“Not in the way my father had been haunted. I believed that my father’s will had been taken from him, that Veles acted through him. Perhaps that was a true possession, and I merely flirted at the edges of it. Enchanted. Maybe that was how it had begun with my father.”
Excerpt from The Hunter's Daughter by Nicola Solvinic from Berkley Publishing Group https://bit.ly/3YDcQHB  https://amzn.to/48NTMdP

Though Katelyn hates to travel, a weird clause in her aunt’s will forces her to visit a quaint New England seaside town. Her world changes when she discovers she’s inherited a haunted brownstone, fickle magic, and a hidden key that someone else wants. And they’re willing to kill for it.

Excerpt:


Smallcolored flecks danced in the sunlight. They darted back and forth. They rushedme, encircling me, round and round, faster and faster, creating a whirlwind ofcolor that made me woozy. I began swaying before the flecks scattered. Theyswooped and gathered in front of me, coalescing into the shape of a small,translucent woman. She hovered several feet off the ground, sparkling likemulticolored glitter and moving like an ethereal ballerina.


Whenshe spoke, it echoed a thousand voices speaking in harmony. “Fáilte. Welcome.We are the Breena. You are of Andraste.”


“I’mKatie.” Wariness crept into my voice. The family books read Andraste. “Yeah, Ithink I’m Andraste.”


“Yes.You wear the Taith, a gift of the Breena.” She gestured to the traveling boots.“We are pleased to see them in this form. It has been long since the clanAndraste has visited. Tell us, what has become of sweet Clara and her quest?”


She—they—knewClara? “I’m sorry, she died.”


“Thatis unfortunate. We liked Clara. You are taking up the quest?”


Mystomach dropped. They may have said it as a question, but it sounded like astatement. “I ... I didn’t know my Aunt Clara, and I don’t know anything abouta quest. I’m not the right person to talk to.”


“Yes,she was given the quest. As she is no longer, the task falls to the next inline.”


“Isthis an optional type of quest?”


“Itis your charge.”


“Well,I’m not the next in line. That’s probably my uncle. I’ll put him in touch withyou.”


TheBreena moved closer to me. One of the little flecks zipped from one side of herface to the other. “You are next in line. You wear the blessing. You are ofAndraste, Keepers of Secrets, Guardians of Mamwlada. You are the Legacy.Protector of the Light. You will take up the quest. Find the Oubusch. Find theOthers before the gates open. Stop the disciples of Morus.”


“Findwhat now?”


“Findthe Oubusch. Find the Others before the gates open. Stop the disciples of Morusbefore they break the lock.” The Breena’s voice reverberated off my skin.


Iswallowed. “Who’s Morus? What gate? What others? What’s an Oubusch, and how doI find it?”


“TheOubusch will lead you to the Others. Find the Stone, find the Others.”


“Buthow?”


“Openthe box. Use the sundial.” The words rhythmic like a song. Her essenceoscillated, and her form began to melt away.


“Wait,what box?”


“Whatis there is here, what is here is not there. You must hurry, time is ending.”With that, the flecks disbursed, and she was gone.


“Wait, please, I don’t understand.” No oneanswered

My lips peeled back on a sneer. "Who am I?"
I strained to hear him over the blood pounding in my ears. "You're the daughter of the Forest Strangler."

“Deliciously unpredictable and absolutely engrossing, Nicola Solvinic’s The Hunter’s Daughter is one of the best debuts I’ve read in a very long time. With a dash of magical realism and the kind of complicated, conflicted heroine I love, Solvinic pulls off a nearly impossible feat: making the reader care about a woman who may well be following in her serial killer father’s footsteps. Put The Hunter’s Daughter at the top of your TBR list—I loved this book!”
—Karen Dionne, bestselling author The Marsh King's Daughter
