Eldrith Manor
Leigh Rivers
by Audrey Faye
Perception Bay is not your average coastal town, and Violet is certainly not your average empath. She navigates life by sensing the emotional currents of everyone around her, often finding herself burdened by the heavy feelings of others. When she crosses paths with Linus, a man whose autistic perspective offers a stark, quiet contrast to her own sensory overload, a unique connection begins to spark. Linus, a temporary baker who returns to town annually to keep his aunt’s shop afloat, is a man of routines and hidden depths, and he might be the only person who truly sees Violet for who she is.
This enchanting paranormal romance thrives on the beauty of human connection, proving that love often blossoms in the spaces where we are most different. While the townspeople weigh in with their unsolicited opinions, the couple finds unexpected support from a quirky, found-family circle that includes loyal friends and a group of mischievous, hooch-making ghosts.
Audrey Faye has crafted a heartwarming narrative that feels like a cozy, magical embrace. If you are looking for a story that celebrates neurodiversity and the comfort of community, this is your next must-read. Step into a world where the supernatural is just a neighbor away.

This whole series has been a warm blanket of comfort to read. I have loved getting to know all of the characters and feeling the wonderful sense of community that has grown in each and every one of the books in this series. I cannot go on enough about how much I love the way that Audrey Faye writes her characters. The stories are driven by the characters and are always unique. Each character is an individual and you are able to see and feel them connect and grow amongst other individuals in a...

I loved this book. It made me feel so seen. I love the inclusiveness of the entire series and the entire found family vibe. I want to live in Perception Bay. I really want more books like this even if they need to be in a different series because this series is finished. )

As I said before, Audrey Faye writes pure poetry. I believe she once commented that these stories came in counterbalance to the throughly rotten year of 2020, and I can believe that. I certainly needed them to remind me some people can live in harmony. Thank you, kind writer. )

As a last book in any Audrey Faye trilogy, I’m both delighted with the book while also being sad at the end of these stories. I loved the characters, all the triple blues and the men in their lives , as well as the townsfolk. I think that in 50 + years of reading, this is only the 2nd time where a character in the story has autism, and it’s the 1st time that autism was written about so well. What wonderful stories make up this trilogy! )

Ghost Mountain is where I want to live -- when I want to be someplace other, I pick up the pack and go there. Perception Bay offers a way to look for a path to where I need to be and who I need to be. Violet knows things, like puzzle pieces, and keeps alert for the places the pieces belong. Linus is having the amazing experience of being seen and heard and valued for exactly who he is and where he is, with someone not drawing boxes and scripts for him to fit and follow. Violet, Blue, and Indigo...
