Inheritance

The Lost Bride Trilogy, Book 1

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley, Nora Roberts

This program features an author's note read by Nora Roberts, sharing her inspiration for The Lost Bride Trilogy and the incredible personal history behind these stories.

Inheritance is the first in The Lost Bride Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts—a tale of tragedies, loves found and lost, and a family haunted for generations.

1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness. But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to leave him…

Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about—and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in for at least three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the boys were separated at birth—and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy website brought it to light.

Trey, the young lawyer who greets her at the sprawling clifftop manor, notes Sonya’s unease—and acknowledges that yes, the place is haunted…but just a little. Sure enough, Sonya finds objects moved and music playing out of nowhere. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased uncle’s office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers to as “the first lost bride.” It’s becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be solved if there is any hope of breaking it…

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Romance queen Roberts takes all of the beloved elements of classic gothic romances, including a marvelously atmospheric old mansion as well as a spunky heroine starting over in life, then puts her own inventive spin on things... an incisively etched cast of characters and a spooktacular plot that will keep readers up long past their regular bedtimes."—Booklist (starred)

"Roberts is in fine form here. Her lush, ethereal world of ghosts and spirits is the perfect foil for Sonya’s down-to-earth, almost spartan manner... Exciting launch for Roberts’ new trilogy."—Kirkus Reviews (starred)

The cliffhanger stood out most!

I absolutely loved this book! It was witty, suspenseful, with just enough suspense, romance that is what makes Nora Roberts books the best! The only thing I did not like, was the cliffhanger at the end! However, I must ask myself shouldn’t I have seen that one coming perhaps? Since she did do the same thing in The first book of the Dragonheart legacy! Besides, the cliffhanger, this book was perfect in every way! Thank you Nora, for another wonderful, entertaining bookP I absolutely cannot wait until the second book comes out! I am very intrigued. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that loves suspenseful, romantic, paranormal books!

Pins and needles

Love the storyline, strong characters, and didn’t want the book to end. This book doesn’t disappoint will be waiting on pins and needles for the next installment. Nora Roberts…brilliant as always

Nora has done it again. Excellent story and narration

Loved the different voices. Enjoyed the ghostly plot. As usual the characters are likable and authentic, for me that is very important. Is it a bit cliche? Yep. But still fun and left with a cliff hanger so I’ll be waiting impatiently for the next in the series.

I felt part of the story! Love the friendship and strong women characters. Wonderful novel!

No dislikes easy to follow, and feel part of the story. The devolving of the relationships are smooth and easy.

The chemistry of the friendship of all the characters

Does Book 2 continue with the same characters…it doesn’t look like Book 2 finishes off where Book 1 left off. It may be me not finding it.

Character development

I’ve read Roberts’ books for over 50+ years I love the mystic genre and mystery surrounding characters who evolve!!! Loved it. Thank GOD for kindle and the ability to preorder the sequels💚

Suspense

Nora Roberts has done it again. I can’t believe I have to wait a year for the next book.

May have the next book.

Wow love this book. Can not wait to read what happens next! Very thrilling and romantic!

Good as always. Anxious for second story!

The lightness of the characters as well as story, yet drama and suspense mixed in!!

Bad form

Don't publish a book until complete story available. I would have rated a 5 otherwise.
