DESCRIPTION

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author Nora Roberts concludes her compelling Lost Bride trilogy as two women—one dead, one alive—prepare for a terrifying final showdown…

Long ago, Arthur Poole built a grand house overlooking the turbulent ocean, in a Maine village that bore his name. Today, Sonya MacTavish lives in that house—a manor that has been cursed for generations. Within its walls, she has witnessed the deaths of seven brides and the thefts of seven wedding rings. And now, to break the curse and banish a malevolent spirit once and for all, a difficult task must be completed.

After Sonya, her boyfriend, Trey, and their friends are forced to hear, see—and feel—the suffering of the house’s many ghosts as their torment is reenacted by the evil presence, their bond only strengthens and their anger is renewed. Refusing to let her spirit be broken, Sonya searches each room for clues to her ancestors’ hidden story, putting the picture together, unearthing small treasures, and uncovering the moments of joy that existed among the sorrows. She’s determined to bring light to this haunted place—to fill it with people, with life and hope, once again.

But the enemy in the black dress continues to hover, to come at her in frightening forms. They may be illusions—but illusions can be powerful enough to wound and kill. She feeds on fear, and lies are her weapon. This dark-hearted witch wants to be mistress of Poole Manor, at any cost. And Sonya will need to fight a battle across two realms to finally take possession of the house on the clifftop—and of her own future…

REVIEW

Book three to The Lost Bride Trilogy takes the readers on a wild ride by showing more of the deaths of the seven brides and some back history of the witch who cursed the manor and continues to haunt it. There is more mystery involving how to break the curse where all the characters take part in finding the solution.

Main characters are Sonya, and Trey, her lawyer now boyfriend. Her best friend Cleo, and her cousin Owen as strong secondary characters. Meanwhile the author did a stellar job of incorporating the ghosts into the story, creating fun and drama.

Author Nora Roberts has a unique gift of keeping the reader engrossed in the story while giving them a roller coaster ride. I love that she was able to do it throughout all books to this trilogy. I can’t wait for her next book series.

What a fantastic ending to this Sci Fi & Fantasy trilogy! I give it 5 STARS and recommend it to all readers of this genre.
