The Witches of Bone Hill

I have just finished The witches of bone hill by Ava Morgyn and here are my thoughts.

The Bone sisters had no idea they had an aunt or that she was leaving them the anchestrial home upon her death.

Cordelia needs money after her cheating husband leaves her with his criminal debts. Her sister Eustace needs to get away from her life so they both head off to see what the will contains.

Trouble is, the will is very clear. They can't sell the house. It has to stay in the bone family or they forfeit. The only person who has any kind of clue as to what their aunt was like is the groundskeeper. A sexy broody man who lives in the carriage house.

It soon becomes clear that their family history is full of death and their lineage is much more than they ever knew. When bad things begin to happen in the house, the sisters must unravel the cryptic clues their aunt has left behind.

This book started off a little slow for me. It was probably a ¼ of the way through before I really got hooked. The whole book got very exciting the more we learned about the dark past of the house and all about the family curse did I get so invested that I read until my eyes ached.

It was really well written. The storyline was clever and detailed and the descriptive parts about the house had me tingling with anticipation. I loved how the sisters suddenly came into themselves when they arrived at the house. It was like being away from it had stripped their talents away and being back bought them to life. Loved all the Norse stuff too. So clever and very well done.

Thought the supporting characters could have had a bit more to them but honestly the book was quite brilliant and that's my only gripe.

Book was well paved and thoroughly enjoyable. Great read for the spooky season for sure
