So as she and her daughter, Neve, embark on this new adventure they learn that Edwina’s family and her ancestral home is possessed by many secrets.
Upon arriving at the bewitchingly mansion the mother and daughter pair encounter more than just their corporeal staff. They soon learn that Edwina’s grandmother Bitzy was a heartless woman who lived to torture those she should have loved. And now Bitzy is out to torture any living soul that dares to live in her home. Neve and Edwina soon find themselves being haunted not only by their former family members but also by a witch who has cursed the land that they now own. Can the two find out what happened to her family and who is responsible for the curses that plague them?
Overall rating 4/5
This gave me all the juicy Crimson peak meets Flowers in the Attic vibes. As this story takes place during Samhain - Scottish Halloween it would be perfect gritty, found family fall read. I enjoyed the narration done by Siobhan Waring, but could have definitely done without the sound effects which were extremely distracting. I was also amused that Neve made friends with some of the ghosts and made the realization that they just might be the key to ending the curse.
