About this book

Evelynn, a weary witch burdened by the ability to commune with the restless dead, seeks nothing more than a quiet refuge from her painful past. Accepting a caretaker position at the decaying Blackwood Manor, she expects isolation and dust. Instead, she finds herself ensnared in a web of shifting shadows and forbidden love that defies the boundaries of mortality.

This atmospheric gothic romance pulls readers into a world where the line between the living and the spirit realm is dangerously thin. As Evelynn navigates the crumbling estate, she becomes hopelessly entangled with a spectral presence who shouldn't exist. Their connection is as intoxicating as it is perilous, blooming amidst the oppressive silence of the manor. Yet, they are not alone; a predatory darkness stalks the halls, hungering for the very life force that binds them together.

Perfect for fans of haunting paranormal romance, this story masterfully blends suspense with a heart-wrenching, dark romance. It is a slow-burn, atmospheric experience that proves some thresholds are meant to be crossed, even at the cost of one’s soul. If you are looking for a visceral, immersive tale where love is the ultimate trap, step inside Blackwood Manor—if you dare.

Heart touching Gothic love story

February 21, 2025

It seems like it's hard to find true gothic love stories these days but this book has a true gothic and haunting feel to it. I love how descriptive the story is and really makes you feel like you are there. There are a few twists in this story that really leave you on the edge of your seat and there is no way to predict what happens next. I especially loved the love story between Frenchie and Evelynn. It shows that love is strong enough to existed in both worlds the living and the dead. )

Good amount of suspense

Story line was cute )

A dark, spooky romance

November 27, 2023

After having endured so much pain in her thirty-eight years, Evelynn - a witch who can communicate with spirits of the dead - needs a fresh start. So, the position of caretaker to Blackwood Manor calls to her. But she soon learns the manor has a dark history, and the secrets and lies of the past haunt it. This is a marvelously gothic horror/romance story. The setting gave me shivers and the twists and turns kept me reading to discover the truth of the manor's dark history. Evelynn's mixed sense...

Enjoyed but a little disappointed

I expected more from this. It has the potential to be so much more if the author dug in and expanded on the FMC witchy-ness. I expected the haunted manor to link back to the beginning of the story with a major plot twist as her aunt was a dark witch. There’s a granule of it there, but I wasn’t wowed by it. The writing style was somewhat choppy and this just wasn’t for me. ) One person found this helpful

A spine chilling tale with a heart of good

Novella it may be, but the story is as full as it should be. Gothic romance, sigh, spine tingling chills, thrills and a haunted house. It was hard to put down and now I am excited to see how the next story will go. Well done author, well done. )
