About: Sonya MacTavish's life is upended after finding her soon-to-be-husband in bed with her cousin days before their wedding. When a stranger shows up and tells her she's inherited a multimillion dollar estate from a relative she never knew existed, this just might be Sonya's chance for a fresh start.

Thoughts: Oh Nora... She never fails to amaze me. Reading a Nora Roberts novel is like the warmest hug on a chilly day. Nostalgic, magical goodness. In true Nora fashion, Inheritance has a strong female protagonist, loveable male love interest, a great supporting cast (including the best BFF a woman can ask for), a swoony love story, found family, and, as this one's fantasy, a haunted house and magical elements.

Inheritance is the perfect read on a fall day and I devoured it!! Nora takes me back to my 20s when I first discovered her work, and I fall in love with her writing all over again.

I read my eARC along with the audiobook, which is BRILLIANTLY narrated by one of the best in the biz: Brittany Pressley. Boy can Pressley narrate. A different voice for each of this large cast of characters. She nailed it!!! Wonderful performance. ❤️

All the stars for Inheritance! I can't wait for book 2!!!

Review will be posted to my review page around pub day.

From the charming main characters Sonya and Trey to the adorable cast of canines and endearing ghosts, I adored this first installment of the Lost Bride Trilogy. Nora Robert’s wove a ghostly tale about the inheritance of a beautiful old house and its precious inhabitants that kept me on the edge of my seat until the last sentence. In her classic way she brought to life a seaside town and its secrets then sent the main characters on a spine tingling adventure. I’ve read many of her stories in the past and this one stands above the rest. The characters are knit together in a comforting small town web and the pace of the story seemed faster than her previous books. I was so engrossed with the mystery that I was completely shocked by the the cliff hanger at the end! I will wait on pins and needles for the next installment of The Lost Bride trilogy.

Inheritance was so intriguing! I loved the location where the story takes place in Maine. I love the old, sprawling mansion that is described incredibly well. I love the ghosts and the witch and the journey to find out how to break the curse of the dead brides. I love the main characters and the side characters. This audiobook with the fantastic narration just drew me in from the start and had me enthralled all the way the cliffhanger at the end. I actually yelled out NOOOO when it ended it where it did. I need the second book ASAP!

This is my first novel by this author , although I used to see her books on my mothers bookshelf I never picked them up to read .
I was sucked in immediately to this book — the lost family member— jilted bride — murders — the haunted house — mysteries to be solved and a little bit of romance —all come together to make the prefect book for me.
I listened to the audiobook — and though I have listened to this narrator before — I thought she did a better job in this one — with multiple voices and accents - I could definitely distinguish the different characters . — I loved learning the history of the ghosts —and how everything is slowly revealed —while still developing the living characters in the story. That was one intense ending ! — Looking forward to next book in the trilogy !

I expected something different when I picked this up. No question Nora Roberts can write, but this appeared to me as a Women's Fiction with a ghost theme looking at the pitvh. It took a little long for the paranormal elements to kick in for my taste, so this wasn't for me. Solid narration though.

Robert’s new trilogy centers around a 19th century murder in a Victorian home on the coast of Maine. A bride is brutally murdered on her wedding day, but she vows never to leave until she can say goodbye to her beloved. Flash forward a couple of hundred years and Sonya is recovering from a broken engagement, when she discovers her late father’s twin, left her that same house on the main coast. The will stipulates she must live in the house for at least three years, so she moves in, determined to find out why her father and his twin were separated at birth. With the help of lawyer, Trey, she begins to unravel the mystery. Of course, the house is haunted by the lost bride, and it becomes clear to Sonya that along with a house, she’s inherited a ghost. I had a hard time with the narrator of this book. I felt like I was listening to an overexcited teenage girl, there was just too much drama in her voice in places that didn’t merit it. I did enjoy the story and would recommend the print version of this story
