Publisher's summary

Teacher Morgan Peers has gone from living a tough life to becoming an heiress nearly overnight. When she inherits Woodmere Manor in the Hudson Valley in New York from her estranged father, she makes big plans for the future, but the past still holds sway over the fog shrouded mansion. Morgan begins to question her sanity when she sees a ghost and learns about the tortured history of the house, and its five tower rooms.

To complicate matters, two men make it difficult to listen to her own heart. Owen Long, the estate caretaker, offers friendship and understanding while Noel Crimson, a local priest with a tragic past of his own, haunts her thoughts. And time is running out because someone or something wants Morgan dead. Morgan must figure out if man or spirit haunts Woodmere Manor if she is going to save her life and find love.

More Gothic Romance...

...than suspenseful, creepy tale. When Morgan suddenly inherits Woodmere Manor from a father she didn't know existed, she is thrust into a mystery on her very first night! She is enchanted with a strange portrait of a woman and another of a solemn man who stare at each other from across a room. Morgan must decide if she is just spooked to be living in the mansion alone or if there is something more supernatural or sinister going on.

I would have liked more suspenseful, creepiness in this listen over the romance aspects that took up much of Morgan's time. She did such stupid things. First, she sees the man from the painting on her lawn and then goes and adopts...a cat?? Second, she immediately develops an attraction for the local priest. I mean like at first sight. Third, the priest offers to bless her home when she confides in him about her finds in the tower and she doesn't have him do it, like right now? The premise was a good one for this story but I would have liked less of the romance and angst that took up so much of Morgan's thoughts and more creepy, suspenseful atmosphere as well as more backstory on Morgan, her father, Noel, and Owen.

I enjoyed some of Daniela Acitelli's narration like Morgan, Noel, and her old lady voices but others were annoying or weird sounding like Owen and the psychic lady. Owen's voice was so weird, it had me wondering how Morgan could be conflicted by him at all.

Bad ending

What a great story. I was so into this story. I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't wait to start listening each day. I didn't like the way the narrator pronounced things when talking with any of the male characters (slow and deliberate).
This book doesn't stand on its own. It just stops and you need the next book to continue the story. I don't like books that can't stand on their own.

Ghosts and a creepy tower!

Morgan inherits her eccentric father's estate when he passes. He was never a part of her life until his death. She gre up poor struggling for everything and suddenly has a fortune and mansiin with a chilling history. It still contains furnishings from the first owners and a ghost or two.

For a short story the author uses good pacing and builds a suspenseful tale using small details and descriptions. She drops clues throughout without giving away too much at a time. It's difficult to build intrigue in so few pages but she does it. I wanted to know what was going to happen next so listened to the entire story in one sitting.

Loved it!

the storyline evolved well with solid characters

Morgan our heroine goes from a strapped beginning and has a financial windfall over night; an inheritance she receives from her father. But along with the inheritance comes a ghost, mystery and romance. I listened in one day...while driving and the time flew by it was an attention grabber. I liked the way the storyline evolves. The characters were solid and it will keep you guessing till the end! I recommend this audible.

Book: vCome to the Tower, Love.

Did not like narrator's voice. Her inflection was not pleasing. It did not make characters sound normal.

Gothic Romance

I received this book through Audiobook Boom from the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.

I love the genre of gothic mysteries and look forward to finding new and enjoyable ones. This wasn't a bad book, just not a great one. Morgan Peers has inherited an old mansion from her father and finds out that the mansion has a dark history (of course!). Upon moving in, she immediately starts seeing things and hearing things. She meets the local (hot) priest and instantly loves him (?). Then, she meets the gardener and feels attracted to him.

She has creepy encounters in the family mausoleum and in the top level of the tower, but refuses the priest's offer to bless the house. The author seems to be building up to an epic conclusion, then just abruptly ends the book. I was looking for more haunting/creepy/supernatural elements after hearing the history of the house. What a letdown! Instead of being a great, creepy read, this book becomes more of a teenage-type instalove.

The writing is good and I will probably read other of books written by Ms. Greer. The narrator did a pretty good job, but I had to speed up my Kindle in order to keep my interest. This isn't a long book, so I didn't feel cheated out of much time at the end of it.

Decent Romance / Scary Story

This is an average scary story/romance audiobook. I liked the premise of the book and many of its elements a lot. I'm not much of a fan of romance stories, but the book description sounded good... So needless to say that I found the romance aspect a little dull. I also a few of the aspects of the story a little unbelievable. At only about 3 1/2 hours, I would have also liked it to be a little longer instead of carrying over to the next book. However, all-in-all I thought the story was decent and I would definitely recommend it if you like or don't mind romance books.

The narrator was good for most of the story, but some of her voices seemed a little ridiculous... She was otherwise a good narrator, but the voices bothered me.

I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.

Come to the Tower

Any additional comments?

Not quite what I was expecting. Overall the story was entertaining and enjoyable. It kept my attention. I was expecting a little more of a mystery/thriller though.

Suspense, mystery and creepiness with a little romance on the side.

The book was not long enough to build both the suspense and romance aspects of the story. So both sides of the story suffered. By the title you really expect the tower to be a main part of the storyline but it's not. The story started out great then just kind of fizzled out in the last few chapters.

It's also annoying when the main character is the TSTL type. Example's: You hear strange things and see an odd person in your yard, you don't get a cat from the shelter you get the biggest dog you can find. You find a room with disturbing content and the local priest offers to bless/cleanse the house, you jump on that sh*t right away.

Daniela Acitelli did a good job with the narration. Pleasant voice. Clearly spoken. Nice even pace of narration. Some good character voices, then some of her male voices sounded like Elmer Fudd. Which she may have been aiming for. I have listened to many books she has narrated and her character voices have always been great. She did bring the story and the characters to life. Very enjoyable

Come to the tower

This was an ok book.It could have been the poor narration that put me off.The woman who moved into the haunted house was wimpy and fickle.The male characters were one dimensional and a bit dim witted as narrated by Daniela Acitelli.Had she read it just in her voice at a steady clip it would have been better.The ending was just bad.I was given this book free by the author, narrator or publisher.
