This is is one of the best books I red this past year!!!
Nora Roberts did not disappoint, as I was getting to the
end of the book. I was left hanging waiting to see what was
going to happen and what were Sonia and Owen (cousins) were going to
find on the other side of the mirror.. Trey and Cleo were left behind along
with Yoda their puppy looking at the mirror hoping that they had made
the right decision in letting them do through the mirror.

Now we must wait and see what QUEEN Nora has in store for us .

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really liked this book. It was solid Nora Roberts. The duality of the story is very good. I can't wait to read more in the series.

3.5 stars

Oh, how I wanted to love this book! And in some ways, I did.

After leaving her cheating fiancé, Sonya learns that her dearly departed father had a long-lost twin brother who has also recently passed away, and Sonya is to inherit the beautiful gothic mansion in Maine.

Upon taking up residence in her new home, Sonya learns that there are more things that go bump in the night than just an old house settling. Lost Bride Manor is haunted.

Earning its name due to the number of women who have died in the house on their wedding day (or during childbirth) in the manor, Sonya soon begins to unravel the history of the house…of her family history. Along the way, she falls for the young lawyer, Trey, while dealing with ghostly encounters.

Sounds amazing, right? And it is. Except that aside from one singular ghost hell-bent on scaring the bejeezus out of Sonya, nothing goes wrong for Sonya. Her life is essentially perfect. She starts her own freelance business, with the help her her former employers no less, and every person she meets absolutely loves her work and immediately hires her to do work for them as well. Plus, as stated before, she lands the sexy lawyer.

But I can look past all that. I loved the ghosts and the descriptions of the house, but what I can’t look past, is the non-ending. Yep. A flat out cliffhanger. Look, I’m fine with cliffhangers when there has been some resolution to the story, but this was a complete non-ending. And I’ve been done reading this book for 18 days and I’m still salty over this ending. That said, yes, I will read the next two, but if the next book pulls this same stunt, I may never read another Nora Roberts book again, for fear that this is her norm.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another great Nora Roberts! I really liked the world she created with the old house and the curse of the brides. I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable with a ghost in the house. Thank you Net Galley for the advanced copy of this book!

Nora Roberts has created a new series, The Lost Bride Trilogy. Inheritance is the first in the series and captures my interest right away. I really love the intensity of the mystery where we see past and present lead toward Sonya claiming her inheritance in Maine. I am actually planning on being in Maine this summer, so the setting and location also peaked my interest. Roberts shows the reader the beauty and serenity found in a peaceful area while she builds the tension of a confrontation between the killer and Sonya to come.

Sonya and Trey have good chemistry. I like that much of the novel is about Sonya figuring out what is right for her. The ghosts brings in a bit of supernatural, which I feel Roberts handled perfectly. With just the right note of disbelief and suspense.

Overall, well written and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series!

Talk about ending on a cliffhanger. I can't wait to know what happens next. This was such an amazing book. I loved everything about it especially the haunting aspects. There are so many feelings about this book.

This was my first novel by Nora Roberts, and I've only heard really great things. Unfortunately, the voice read to be older than the protagonist actually was. There were quite a few older slang terms that didn't fit for a current audience. The premise and setup is fun, but the pacing was slow in the middle and could have used a good cut on word count.

Sonya is busy planning her wedding and is becoming overwhelmed. She cancels a florist appointment, heads home early and finds her fiance in bed with her cousin.

She and fiance work at the same company. He isn't kind and she decides it is time to move on. She quits her job and goes out on her own as a graphic artist.

Sonya learns her father had a twin and said twin has left her a mansion in Maine. There is a stipulation she must live in Poole Manor for three years to inherit. Fun fact - Poole Manor is haunted by some former brides. Sonya is determined to stay and figure out the curse.

There was an interested cast of side characters, mystery and romance. Looking forward to book 2.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this book.

I've tried Nora Roberts books in the past and didn't really get into them so was hesitant on reading this one but I am glad I did! The characters were pretty enjoyable and well rounded, the pacing was decent and I enjoyed the paranormal aspect. I would continue to read this series!

I loved this book!! It was fabulous and well done. The characters were on point and I thought the plot was well developed. I would recommend this book to others.

Thank you for allowing me to read this book as an ARC.
Nora Roberts does not disappoint with this book yet again. It was beautifully written, hard to put down, and I fell in love with all the characters in the story. Every single one of them is likeable. It's one of those feel good stories that puts you in another place and time and makes you feel like you are there living the story alongside all the characters. The ending was also great even though now I cannot wait for the sequel to publish!
Nora Roberts is one of these authors that will make you enjoy every single book she wrote. This one being very different with the paranormal but still a great story line. Well done! 5 🌟 from me.

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and I have to say, it’s a beautiful story. I didn’t want the book to end and I’m now so excited for Book 2. Nora has always been one of my favorite authors, but she really hit the nail on the mark with this one.

First I should say that readers should go into starting this novel with the understanding it is the first book in a new trilogy. Nora Roberts is no stranger to 3 or 4 book series, but one should know that Inheritance ends on a bit of a cliff hanger.

Inheritance is part romance, but mostly fantasy/sci-fi. Sonya MacTavish suddenly finds herself as the sole owner of a gothic, mysterious manor in upstate Maine. Recently finding out that her father had an unknown twin brother, she decides to take a leap of faith and move into the mansion, even if it is just temporary. After falling in love with the space and many of the townspeople, she discovers the manor is haunted and one of the spirits is determined to spook her out of the home.

Filled with a slow burning romance and a little bit of humor, Nora Roberts has another winning story on the market. I honestly thought I wouldn't enjoy this novel, but I was proven wrong and can not wait until the second installment is published in 2024.

Oh this book...I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to read Inheritance and I wasn't sure what drew me to this book so I head in not knowing what I had gotten myself into. However, it only took a few pages and I couldn't put it down and when I had to I couldn't wait until I could read more!

If you love Nora Roberts you won't want to miss her latest Trilogy - this is absolutely magical and you won't be able to put it down. A little bit of spice, a fantastic story, and characters that leave you wanting to grab a drink and have a chat! Be warned, the ending is a cliff-hanger and it's going to leave you gasping and begging for the next book.

There is sooo much packed into this adventure - a tale of haunting, a family layered with secrets, a possibility of love in the most unexpected place and a few secondary characters that are just as spectacular as the FMC and MMC. It's time to unravel decade old secrets.

When Sonya MacTavish has just kicked her fiance to the curb after finding him with her cousin. Thankful she uncovered his secret she must now navigate her job as they worked together. Will his cheating ways ruin her life in more ways than one? A strong woman with determination and conviction, not willing to give up. Yes please!

Sometimes life throws a curveball and for Sonya she will soon discover that she's inherited a house but it isn't what you think. A family she never knew has found her and now Sonya will be left to solve a mystery surrounding the family manor. Are the rumors true? Is it haunted? What really happened? If she agrees to accept the terms, the house is hers.

When her lawyer, hunky Trey is there to help they will begin a friendship that might be the one thing that saves her than either imagined. .

It's time to head to Maine, are you ready to chase a few ghosts?

A centuries-old curse, a promise made in the past, and a secret only she can undercover. Inheritance is a deliciously haunting, mysterious, and passion-filled adventure. Sonya unexpectedly finds out her dad had a twin brother who died and leaves her a haunted mansion that has a curse of brides dying in it. Beautiful ghosts are in this haunted mansion, and one is determined to drive Sonya out. I was on the edge of my seat as we learned who the various ghosts were. Nora can weave a fantastic story that lends itself to many genres. I did not read a Nora Roberts book that can be put firmly in one category; I always find little bits of different ones. I am intrigued to see how our cast of characters will eliminate our terrifying ghost and hopefully lay the rest to a more peaceful afterlife.

What I love more than anything about Nora Roberts writing is her characters and Inheritance is no exception. This is an interesting series starter ghost story that I am very interested in seeing through. That said what a painful place to stop the story! Can’t wait to keep reading though!

Wow, that's all I've got to say, WOW. I have never read Noras Roberts and this book sucked me right in. It is the first in a series. I'll tell you now it is a cliff hanger. I have to read the next book.

Sophie inherits a mansion from an unknown Uncle. Her father was adopted and never knew his biological family. Sophie moves to Maine to the Lost Brides mansion, as the locals call it. Every generation a bride dies just after her wedding or within the year. Sophie must figure out the mystery and break the curse. Her boyfriend Trey, her cousin Owen and her best friend Cleo are right beside her.

This book is awesome. I couldn't put it down. I love the writing style and the story sucked me in and captivated me. I love the characters and the history.

This is a wonderful beginning to a series about a haunted/cursed mansion and the woman that inherits it. The vast history of the "cursed brides" is enthralling and absorbing. The characters are complex and interesting and the book ends on a cliffhanger that makes me want to get a hold of the next book immediately.

Inheritance, the first book of The Lost Bride trilogy starts in 1806 at Astrid Poole's wedding day. Immediately after the wedding, still in her bridal gown, she is murdered, and her wedding ring is torn from her finger. This is just the beginning of what is to come as Roberts expertly blends a centuries-old ghost story with contemporary romance that will keep you turning the pages.

Inheritance will appeal to those who enjoy reading dual timelines with haunted houses, family curses and secrets, mystery, and romance. Do expect a massive cliffhanger ending that will make you wish that you need not have to wait another year for the next book in this trilogy.

Overall I really enjoyed all of the characters, even the villain. Roberts did a fantastic job of breathing life into them and the writing flowed so effortlessly. Between her character and plot development Roberts is truly a captivating story teller.
