À propos de cet audio

#1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning is back with a gripping, imaginative, and seductive new series in which a young woman moves to Divinity, Louisiana, to inherit a large fortune and a Gothic mansion full of mysteries and ominous secrets...

Zo Grey is reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a surprising call from an attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, with the news she has been left an inheritance by a distant relative, the terms of which he will only discuss in person. Destitute and alone, with nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers she is the sole beneficiary of a huge fortune and a monstrosity of a house that sits ominously at the peak of Watch Hill—but she must live in it, alone, for three years before the house, or the money, is hers.

Met with this irresistible opportunity to finally build a future for herself, Zo puts aside her misgivings about the foreboding Gothic mansion and the strange circumstances, and moves in, where she is quickly met by a red-eyed Stygian owl and an impossibly sexy Scottish groundskeeper.

Her new home is full of countless secrets and mystifying riddles, with doors that go nowhere, others that are impossible to open, and a turret into which there is no visible means of ingress. And the townspeople are odd…

What Zo doesn’t yet know is that her own roots lie in this very house and that in order to discover her true identity and awaken her dormant powers, she will have to face off against sinister forces she doesn’t quite comprehend—or risk being consumed by them.

As a big fan of Moning’s Fever Series, I was looking forward to a similar sort of adventure, and the story could go that way, certainly. But the main character is no Mac, at least, not the way she’s performed by this narrator. Much too snide, overly dramatic, verging on histrionic. That interpretation isn’t locked into the text and appears to be a misstep.

And so far there’s been no one to challenge Barrons for sheer, irresistable appeal, but there’s still time. Fingers crossed.

Story has potential

the story was very repetative and drawn out and for me lacked substance. I didn't make it to the end I quit it about 1.30 remaining

I'm in deep! I want to know more! KMM has done it again (if you need more, just pick up her Fever series!) Wonderful set up, intriguing characters and magic/politics/world building. Hints dropped here and there as KMM weaves her magic, all of which will come perfectly together. She is a master story teller and takes her characters through crazy growth and development.

Great performance, great set up to an awesome series.

Karen Marie Moning strikes again!

Just when I was really beginning to enjoy this book the main character ignores all repeated advice and does something unforgivable. I could see it coming but hoped I was wrong. Her regret afterward wasn’t enough to redeem her in my eyes. I won’t be reading the next book.

The main character is so frustrating.
