Lady of Breken Manor

De: Heather B. Moore, Jane Redd

Narrado por: Brenna Colleen Castor

No true lady would steal a loyal man from his fiancée, but what if that lady is a ghost?

Lady Charlotte is bored. So bored that when the owner of her manor in Scotland dies, she actually looks forward to haunting, uh, meeting the new owner. Too bad he’s engaged. Because if he weren’t, and if Charlotte could get him to fall in love with her, then the curse would finally be broken.

What curse, you ask? The curse that keeps Charlotte confined to an ancient manor decade after decade, playing parlor tricks on unsuspecting visitors. If only being a ghost weren’t so tedious, Charlotte might actually enjoy her life-slash-death. But the new owner is making her rethink her entire existence.

Fantastic ghostly story

Many thanks to the author for the #gifted copy. All opinions expressed are my own and were voluntarily given.

When Sean inherits a manor in Scotland, he and his fiance, Michele go there to look it over before selling it. He doesn't plan on it being haunted though. Can you imagine? Lady Charlotte was cursed and until that curse is broken, she's forced to dwell in this house.

Brenna Colleen Castor does a beautiful job of narrating this tale. I loved her voice and pacing, as well as her accents and portrayal of each character.

Sean is great and doesn't leave any stone unturned. I fell for him, especially when he finally comes to his senses, and I could see why Charlotte is intrigued with him. As for Charlotte, she's a trickster and delight, but my heart really went out to her.

There are some heart-wrenching moments in this story, with no foreseeable resolution, and I couldn't help but hope for some miracle to happen to break the curse. I wanted the characters to find happiness and be at peace, even with the slight melancholy feeling that shadows over the pages. I had similar feelings while watching the old movie Somewhere in Time. Although this is only a novella, emotions are high and I was fully invested.

This is the perfect novella for this Halloween season…or anytime, really.
