1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness. But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to leave him…

Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about—and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in it for at least three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the boys were separated at birth—and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy website brought it to light.

Trey, the young lawyer who greets her at the sprawling clifftop manor, notes Sonya’s unease—and acknowledges that yes, the place is haunted…but just a little. Sure enough, Sonya finds objects moved and music playing out of nowhere. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased uncle’s office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers to as “the first lost bride.” It’s becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be solved if there is any hope of breaking it…

There is a GR giveaway for The Inheritance! To sign up, you have to follow Nora on her Author's page, and you'll be asked to fill out the short entry form. Check it out here.

Good luck!


Anita (anitanodiva) | 1489 comments That is really strange that they have this GR giveaway ending June 19 when the book doesn't even get published until November.

Awesome!


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 302 comments I just finished this book and listened to the audio. It is so good. Nora pulled me in from the first page and held me until the end. Now I can't wait for the next book in the series.


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
I’m starting it right now!


Anita (anitanodiva) | 1489 comments Jonetta are you going to work up some discussion questions for us??? Please, please please...

I’d be happy to do so!

That's a great idea!

It’s publication day!


Candi (bon_bons_adventures) | 260 comments Woke up to mine on my Kindle this morning. Unfortunately, I can't dive in this week due to prepping for Thanksgiving. We open our home to soldiers from a nearby base that can't go home for the holiday every year. So no spoilers please. ;)


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
This is not a spoiler zone. Im working on discussion questions that I’ll post in another group we use for book discussions. All are welcome to join in there or wait until this becomes a spoiler zone for general discussions.

I’ll provide more info later about the more detailed book discussion once I have it set up. In the meantime, here’s the link to the group for you to check it out.

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1489 comments I wish there were a way to draw a family tree on this discussion. I got a little lost in the generations. I can't wait to discuss this one.


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
I’m building the character list now. It doesn’t help that some share the same name.

Thanks, Jonetta. I just joined that group.


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
Wonderful!


Candi (bon_bons_adventures) | 260 comments Been waiting to have a day with no one but the dog in the house to settle in with the book. Tomorrow is that day!


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
Yay!


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
Discussion questions are now posted! Also, I’ve finished the character list for reference, organizing all the lost brides, their spouses and the key present day characters. In the Spoiler Info section is a list with dates of the lost brides.

Here’s the link:

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1489 comments Thank you, Jonetta! That is going to be a great reference tool.


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7080 comments Mod
You’re welcome! That’s what took so long and a year from now, we’re going to need it.

For those interested, check out the book discussion (see link in message #1).


Anita (anitanodiva) | 1489 comments I know a lot of us are reading this series as the books get published, but I kinda wish we had waited to read them one a month after they are all published.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 302 comments I usually wait, but I received an unexpected ARC.
