New review for RETURN TO BLOODMOON MANOR, Book 4: Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series

​I received a new review for RETURN TO BLOODMOON MANOR, Book 4: Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series:
 
4 Stars! "Although this book is a direct sequel to THE BLOODMOON CURSE, reading that one is not absolutely required for understanding RETURN TO BLOODMOON MANOR. Acquaintance with the earlier novel would help, but the present narrative does supply enough context to appreciate the story. Hannah’s plight immediately draws in the reader’s sympathy. She and her husband, Daniel, suffer from mundane problems many people can relate to, an unplanned pregnancy and a crushing load of debt. In addition, she bears the burden of trauma from years as an employee practically enslaved by the sinister owners of Bloodmoon Manor. When she unexpectedly inherits the house and all its contents, the idea of selling the property to gain financial security becomes an obsession, again one almost anybody could identify with. Of course, the process proves not that simple. The qualms expressed by Daniel, who wants nothing to do with the bequest, create tension between him and Hannah. Suspense builds as they arrive at the house and everything seems to go smoothly, aside from Daniel’s illness, which strikes as soon as they enter the grounds and inexorably worsens. Even without the dire warnings of the locals, we would expect the couple to be trapped in the Gothic mansion and forced to confront the entity striving to lure Hannah into its clutches. Recurring characters from other books in the series appear, but prior knowledge of them isn’t necessary. We become deeply absorbed in Hannah and Daniel’s problems and dangers, rooting for them to survive while the lethal threat grows seemingly inescapable. This novel does an excellent job of developing a secondary character from THE BLOODMOON CURSE, a semi-antagonist in that story, into a sympathetic heroine for whom we wish the happy life she now deserves." ~author Margaret L. Carter
