I read a 3 part book series. I can’t remember the names of them or the author. Each book had a different name but they were all a part of a series. The book was about a family that lived in California and inherited a mansion in Paris and After the girl does the family decides to move to the house in Paris. After they move in weird things start to happen. The community doesn’t want them to move in bc they think the house is cursed. Back in like the 1800’s the Madaam that lived there would drink people’s blood with a silver straw. That is what kept her alive. She starts stalking the family which turns out to be some of her kin. The daughter that died is a ghost and she is trying to save her little sister from becoming a victim of the madame. She and another guy and a maid that used to work for the madame ... which are all ghost, start to plot a way to get rid of her (madame) by drowning her in a Pond.

Do you remember if this series could be described as gothic suspense?

Heather, I added plot details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it using the desktop website, not the mobile app.

I am all new to this. I just couldn’t remember the series and was desperate and stumbled upon this app and this group. So I’m just learning how to do this. I don’t remember what genre it was actually labeled as. I read the series last year but failed to write down the author and Titles.

Found it! Thank you to the one who mentioned gothic suspense. I googled gothic suspense and searched the images and found it there. Recognized the name immediately.

Haunted for the click.

ETA: Betrayed and Avenged are the other books in the series, if that helps anyone in the future.
