Description

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 it 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…

Well written and compelling. Kept me reading and a bit disappointed at the cliff hanger. Can’t wait for book 2.

Definitely spooky.

I felt like I wasted a lot of time reading this book. I got caught up in the story but it just went on and on like it was never going to end. Then, when it did I was left feeling frustrated and angry at having reached an end that wasn’t one. Unless you’re going to slog thru the 2 that come after I wouldn’t bother.

Was very dissatisfied with the way this book ended. Left you hanging. I love Nora Robert’s books usually. But this was disappointing.
100% read!

I started a little slow, but once you get past the first couple of chapters it pulls you in and you can’t stop reading. Go ahead and buy the second book also because the first one ends mid story and picks right up in the second.

I Loved this book so much that within the first couple pages I bought it. I couldn’t put this book down and stayed up to the wee hours of the night reading it. I finished reading it in a day and half. It nailed all the things I love murder, mystery, love, romance, drama, paranormal and everything else in between. Keep the wonderful stories coming Nora ♥️

Loved this book just not sure I liked the ending.
Too much fluff, not enough substance

The concept is interesting but the story drags and drags and drags with no substance, progress or excitement for too long. I really wanted to enjoy this but it’s become too boring to continue. The pace is way too slow and not enough happens to keep you hooked.
Oh NUTS!

I love Nora’s books, but I hate to be swept away only to have the magic carpet pulled out from under my feet st the end. A little more closure snd a little less cliffhanger…please!!!! It could be a while before I get the next book in the series!!!!
Loved the premise…

A gothic mansion on the coast in Maine with a haunted background… sign me up! I loved the premise and story line of this book. However, i wish the main character Sonya was less of a whiner and more open minded to the supernatural around her.
One of her best!

One of the best Nora Roberts books I’ve read. Sooo glad it’s a series because I’m not ready for the story to be over.

As usual Nora Roberts knocks it out of the park.
The dialogue, characters and plot are excellent. Not an ending in this the first of the Trilogy, but an extreme urge to read the next in the series.
Awesome and suspenseful

I really liked the characters. It kept me guessing. I am excited for the next book.
Fun haunted mansion/family novel

It is a bit much to have ghosts bringing in firewood and cleaning the house but the story flows.

I had to force myself to finish this book… very slow, i feel there were many more opportunities to add better substance, also very predictable…. That’s just my opinion…

Nora typically ties up endings, she did not in this book…it’s a literal cliff hanger…I’m shook…the author never fails to pull me in…

I am enjoying the book but confused about a couple of things. Why is Sonya looking for similarities in appearance to her father between family members when he was adopted? Why does the author write about twins “ running” in the family when genetically twins are decided on the mothers side only, it takes two eggs to make a twin, fertilization has nothing to do with it. I don’t understand the repeated reference to her genealogy from her fathers side if he was adopted. Am I missing something?

Sorry but I usually like Nora Roberts and did not like this at all. Can’t stand the supernatural and it went on and on and then still did not finish - have to read the next book, which I won’t.
Incredible

Incredible, had me spellbound from the beginning. The only downside is I have to wait until November to see what happens.

I loved the book. It takes you on twists and turns as you travel through the haunted manor with romance that I just couldn’t put down until I finished the book. I hate that I have to wait until November to find out what happens!
It was Okay

I usually like novels like this, but it seemed to go and on with the same type of incidents happening over and over. I more than likely will not read book two.

The overall read was good, it seemed to lag… repetitive in the actions of the manor which seems ok but the ending left me hanging…. Waiting for the 2nd of the 3rd to be ready in November.
Crazy good!

Grabbed me from the beginning! Couldn’t put it down! So darn good! Love the depth of her characters, the different layers of the story! Anxiously waiting for the next book in the series! Another favorite series by Ms Roberts!

Good read but like so many others I’m extremely disappointed in the extremely long wait for book 2. If I’d had any idea it was another of her trilogys I would have just waited to read it at least until book 2 came out but since she hasn’t written any trilogys in the past few years I assumed it was stand alone. Nora you are one of my very favorite authors and I’ve literally read every book you’ve written, some multiple times. I’m disappointed in you and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I really enjoyed this book and was surprised that the two other books in this trilogy haven’t been released yet. But I can wait. Ha!

I kind of figured, by midway in the book, that the mystery wouldn’t be solved in this book. There’s a lot of side-story, which is OK, though the dialogue is a bit too saccharin to be realistic, but it’s not too corny.

I’d like to see better vocabulary, the correct words used in expressions, and correct use of prepositions and punctuation. Where are the editors? I find myself making mental corrections as I read.

Overall, I like the plot, and like that I haven’t figured it out yet.

Looking forward to the next book!
Abrupt ending

The most bizarre way to end a book. There are cliff hangers and then there’s the way this ended. I honestly thought the rest of the book hadn’t downloaded.

I was disappointed that it ended where it did. They do not solve the mystery. They do not break the curse. They do not resolve any issues with the haunting. They do drink a LOT of wine. And they get a lot of day to day chit chat and letting dogs out to go poo every day, and ho hum work done for other people’s websites every single day. Pretty bland.
Great history story

This is a great story. Left me hanging wanting the next book. I love everything about this story. Just need MORE. Thanks Nora. For those who said “No Ending”. It’s BOOK ONE. There are more to come.
