#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.

When Zo Grey loses her mother she is kind of at a loss in what to do with her life, so much of her life was dependent upon her mother and her needs. But one phone call is about to change that... only if she's brave enough to wander through the doors of the Gothic mansion.
The pages of The House at Watch Hill had me wandering out of my usual comfort zone and embracing something different and new. I am not an usual fantasy or paranormal reader but something I read in the synopsis piqued my interest and I just had to take a chance on it... and I am so happy I did. This book grabbed a hold of me from the very first page and didn't let go, it's words were engaging and utterly captivating. They took me places I never saw coming and left me excited for the next installment! I cannot wait to see what Ms. Moning has in store for us next!! Highly recommend this one, it's a little spooky, a little mysterious, a little magical and a little on the spicy side too!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
