When her older, carefree sister, Eustace—a cannabis grower in Boulder, calls to inform her the great aunt they never met has died and they must travel to a small town in Connecticut to deal with the estate, she sees an opportunity to unload the house and save herself.
But once there, the sisters learn they are getting much more than they bargained for. The Victorian mansion they stand to inherit is bound in a dynasty trust controlled by their late aunt's aging attorney who insists they inhabit the house and retain it but keeps them in the dark about the peculiar rituals of their ancestors. Not to mention a sexy, tattooed groundskeeper with a shrouded past who refuses to leave the carriage house and a crypt full of dead relatives looming at the property line.
As both women grapple with their current predicament, they come face to face with a haunting family secret, the truth of what happened to their mother, and the enemy that's been stalking them from the shadows for generations. In a twisting torrent of terror and blood, the sisters must uncover the power within them to heal their fractured relationship, reverse their mysteriously declining health, and claim the lineage they wanted to escape but now must embrace if they are to survive at Bone Hill.
My ReviewThe Witches of Bone Hill by Ava Morgyn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I want to start off by admitting that it took me a minute to connect to Cordelia. I can't quite put my finger on it, because I wavered at first, going from liking her to being annoyed by her. But I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book as Cordelia and Eustace begin to discover their familial history and the house begins to reveal its ghostly inhabitants.
Cordelia's life has spun out of control when her estranged sister Eustance calls to let her know the great aunt they never met has passed away. They must travel to a small town in Connecticut in order to deal with the estate that has been left to them.
Once there the sisters learn that the mansion and family fortune are bound in a dynasty trust controlled by their late aunt's attorney. He insists that they must remain at Bone Hill in order to inherit. The property also includes a sexy, tattooed groundskeeper who lives in the carriage house.
As both women try to grasp their current predicament, they learn a haunting family secret and discover what really happened to their mother and the enemy that's lingered in the shadows for generations, working against their family. They must embrace the power within them in order to survive Bone Hill.
