About this listen

#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.

Slower plot

The romance is just a nugget. There is a cliffhanger, but the plot is interesting. The information given to the reader was slow. It was atmospheric. I love that this was more than just witches, but vampires too!

Just an incredibly written first book of a Triology.

I feel like I’ve been reading all amateur writing when I read this. Karen weaves such an amazing tale and story. Quite a few times I wanted to brain Zo, but she had to give her a place to grow from. She’s known for giving multiple characters great growth thru a series. Can’t wait for the next book! The narrators did such an amazing job bringing this story to life. I felt like I was there while listening and was completely transfixed.

Lots of potential, but dragging it out.

Love the character development so far and the seemingly different side plots, but I guess I’m just not a fan when the very first book is just a hint in to the next one. There’s a difference between cliffhangers and dragging things out.

Kmm did NOT disappoint! Worth the wait!

Absolutely what I've been missing in the book world. I loved every aspect of this 1st book. The witchy atmosphere, world building, character building, mystery, spice, slow burn, foreshadowing. FOR ANY NEW KMM READERS: Not a spoiler, but you may not understand the hype from all of the previous KMM readers about the ending. It was a HUGE surprise. So. Good.
The second book cannot be released fast enough.

The Queen has returned!!

Starting a new book series is daunting, even if you love the author. This is the 1st book of a trilogy, so I was a bit nervous. I could not stop listening! This book sets up the series to perfection! As soon as I finished this book, I started it all over again. Take a chance and listen. Thank you KKM for giving us this new series!!!

Excellent

Excellent storyline! The setting was perfect! Loved the characters! I just wish the "romance" was a little more detailed. Overall, great book from an excellent author.
