Inheritance (The Lost Bride Trilogy, #1)

Inheritance by Nora Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's wonderful!!! I can't wait for the second book in the trilogy to come out.

When Sonya inherits a mansion in Maine along with a trust fund to maintain it, from an Uncle she didn't know she had, she jumps at the chance to leave the harassing ex-fiance who cheated on her in the rearview. Little does she know the mansion is haunted, by the lost brides as well as others. My favorite ghost is Jack the little boy who plays with her dog, followed by Clover, Sonya's Grandmother who plays music to communicate with Sonya. And then there is Molly who cleans the house for her (I sort of wish Molly lived with me).

The business she starts is successful, she is making friends in the community and finds love with Trey (lawyer) and her best friend Cleo moves in with her. I think Cleo is going to be hooking up with Sonya's cousin Owen (shipbuilder). But overshadowing it all is Hester Dobbs the woman who killed the first lost bride, stole her ring, and cursed the family.

Sonya needs to find the rings (7) and break the curse but how... the book ends with Sonya finding the mirror from her dreams and her Father's painting and going through it with her cousin Owen. Cleo and Trey can't go through it since they aren't Pooles.
