"Bella receives a letter from the mysterious Umbra Law Firm informing her that she has inherited the family house called Angel's Refuge. There were three rules: Keep the house in the family. Never sell it. Never live there. [She and her] friends decide to travel to the area and view the residence. The huge house turns out to be exactly what [they] need for their business. Plans are made. Rules and warnings are ignored. "If this story does not give you occasional chills, then you have nerves of steel. The novel begins with a spooky dream before turning into a tragedy with a potential romance. Once the reader gets the idea of Bella's difficult past and all the hardships she faces, the tale takes off! The story does slow down at times, but only to flesh out the characters. The author has a flair for writing stories that, to my consternation, leave me sitting on the edge of my seat, eagerly reading to see what will happen next. In this one, the past carries over to injure those in the present. Before you begin reading, I suggest you order pizza and make sure you have plenty of lights on." ~Huntress Reviews 5 Stars! “HELL HATH NO FURY, the 10th book in Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series, was so scary! Even so, I couldn’t stop reading. Bella and Marsh were easy to love, though Ori was a bit free-spirited. After Bella’s mom’s death, the three friends find out Bella’s inherited a house that’s perfect for the shop they want to open together. The legacy is just too good to pass up, even if this inheritance comes with the stipulation not to live in or sell the house. When good sense goes right out the window, bad things happen. This story had me on pins and needles because true evil lived in that creepy house. Talk about not being able to put a book down! I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this series.” ~Linda's Reviews Find out more: https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/bloodmoon-cove-spirits-series.html https://www.writers-exchange.com/bloodmoon-cove-spirits-series/ AUTHOR PAGES Writers Exchange: http://www.writers-exchange.com/Karen-Wiesner/ and http://www.writers-exchange.com/blog/ Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/Karen%20Wiesner Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/karenwiesner Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/karenwiesner Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/KarenWiesnerAuthor BookBub: https://www.bookbub.com/authors/karen-wiesner WORKS IN PROGRESS MOMENTS http://www.facebook.com/KarenWiesnerAuthor https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/works-in-progress.html In 2025, I intend to work as if I'm already retired, except in the case of whenever my publisher is ready to work on editing my last books for publication.
