The Bride of Ravencrest: The Ravencrest Saga: Book 5
Here comes the Bride … At Ravencrest Manor, the organ in the abandoned east wing begins to play -- low, mournful, and mad -- and the walls tremble with each chord. The Bride is awake.
Centuries ago, she wed Sir Lionel Manning, only to lose him to war. Alone and slowly going mad, she gave birth to a son who died in his crib -- or so the legend goes. Locals whisper that the child’s bones still cling to her beneath her tattered wedding gown, and that the ghost of her long-dead husband remains trapped in the scorched armor displayed in the dining hall.
She married a man. Then she married a house. Now she wants them both back.Then the Bride, broken by grief, solitude, and something far darker, sealed her fate by taking a second Ravencrest itself. Locked away, she slept for centuries, even as the manor was uprooted and brought to California. But now, something has disturbed her slumber. The Bride is restless -- and hungry for the life she was denied.
Whispers crawl down the walls. Shadows stretch too long. And as spectral unrest builds and ancient curses stir, governess Belinda Moorland is torn between leaving Ravencrest behind, or facing the Bride … and the darkness she was born to defeat.

Can Anyone Survive the Wrath of the Bride?
Small backstory:
Belinda Moorland is back along with Grant, Eric and quite a cast of characters in this installment as something lies deep within the mansion that they need to slowly deal with before it is too late!
What lies deep within Ravencrest Manor is the ghost of Amelia Manning (the Bride) as her husband Lionel died in war not too long after they were married and now she has been asleep within the manor for a long time until she is awoken and when the Bride wakes up she is not happy at all which as time goes on she lets "all" of Ravencrest know that she has returned!
Will Belinda, Grant, and Eric along with supporting characters be able to stop her?
No spoilers here and that is about all I can hand out with a small backstory so if you want to know more then you will need to read the book to find out what happens!
Thoughts:
This book was one creepy and spooky story with quite a bit of ghost action as well which kept me on the edge of my seat in a few parts of the book. When the Bride wakes up is when things go from quiet to rumbling as the Bride starts to cause a little chaos within the manor!
The main characters of Belinda, Grant, and Eric keep this story moving along at a fast pace. The supporting characters of Essie, Ryan, Cordelia and Riley also keep the story moving quickly - all the characters mesh well with each other making the story come to life on the pages of this book! Looking forward to the next book in the series to see what happens next and what Belinda, Grant and Eric have to deal within the next installment. Giving this book five "Spine Tingling Specter" stars!
