2.5 stars!!
I'm terribly sorry that I could not provide my review earlier for this title!

I attempted to get into this book twice, but sadly this one was not for me. I couldn't connect with the characters nor could I follow the storyline. Gradually I just lost interest and ended up Dnfing it.

But I'd really like to read more from this author and give her books some more chances.

Many thanks to the author and the publisher for providing me with a review copy via Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Abigail Moore left Owl Manor with her fiancé, Peter. On the day she was to marry Peter, he didn’t show.. Abigail decides to go back to Owl Manor as she has decided that is the only way she can survive and make a living. She will renovate Owl Manor to an inn for long staying paying “guests.” It will make it easier as then she will not have to be bother with constant turnover of her rooms. The staff of Owl Manor when Abigail shows up without warning. As guests are approved after being interviewed by Abigail, she wonders if she has done the right thing making Owl Manor an inn. The owls have come back with their menacing attacks on the guests. Have the owls returned because a guest? Will Abigail discover the secrets of Owl Manor? She has nightmares of violent rage, destruction and ghostly appearances. Will Abigail find that she is worthy of love?

The author has written an excellent horror novel with gothic overtones. The atmosphere that the author has written is perfect for spooky and mysterious thrills. I enjoyed Abigail not knowing how to live life without fear. As there are no recaps of the first book, I would recommend reading the first one so it can be understood of how Abigail’s childhood has affected her to being the woman she is in this book.

this was a great read, the characters were great and I really enjoyed going on this journey. I hadn't read the first book in the series but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of this book.
