The House at Watch Hill - A Haunting Southern Gothic Tale of Inheritance and Mystery, Perfect for Fall 2024 By Karen

Zo Grey’s life is in shambles after the sudden death of her mother leaves her penniless and adrift. Just when she feels like she’s hit rock bottom, an unexpected phone call from an attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, changes everything. Zo has inherited a vast fortune and a Gothic mansion perched atop Watch Hill from a distant relative she never knew existed. The catch? She must live in the eerie, decaying estate alone for three years before the money and the house are fully hers.

Desperate for a fresh start, Zo packs up her few belongings and heads to Divinity, determined to make the most of this strange but irresistible opportunity. Upon arriving, she is greeted by a massive, haunting house filled with secrets. Doors lead to nowhere, some refuse to open, and an enigmatic turret appears to have no entrance. The house seems to hum with an ominous energy, and her only companion is an alluring Scottish groundskeeper whose rugged charm is as disarming as the mysterious red-eyed owl that watches her from the shadows.

As Zo begins to explore the mansion, she discovers cryptic clues that suggest her connection to the house runs deeper than mere inheritance. To uncover the truth about her family and awaken the powers she never knew she had, Zo must confront dark forces lurking within the house and the town of Divinity. But these sinister forces are bent on consuming her if she cannot solve the riddles that hold the key to her past.

Karen Marie Moning delivers a tantalizing blend of Gothic mystery, supernatural suspense, and seductive romance in this atmospheric new series.
