The House at Watch Hill

By Karen Marie Moning
The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

#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.

“This book has everything! A witchy, sexy read that made me sleep with the lights on…Karen Marie Moning at her best!”

-Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author

Expressionless Face“Just start reading at 60%. It will save you a lot of time and boredom. I’ve been reading this author for almost 15 years. I know she can do better. This read like a poorly done pilot episode of a new series. The first 50% could have been summed up in 2 chapters. If it hadn’t been for all the other books I’ve read by this author, I would have DNF’d this. Got slightly better at 60% when a character finally started explaining some things. The plot at this point is still really basic. The last 10% was the best. Finally some action, a reveal and a wanna be cliffhanger ending. The ending was the best part. Not feeling vested. Probably won’t read the next one.”
Expressionless Face“It’s a fast read. It would have been ok, but the repetitive inner dialogue and all the nonsense about her libido and her type of guy was so clunky and forced. It made me cringe every time. I nearly put it down several times. I don’t mind spice, but it weirdly felt like it was added to a book written for teenagers. Fifty Shades via Christopher Pike.”
