Grave Expectations

by Tamara Thorne

A New Day Has Dawned
After confronting the evil lurking in the east wing of Ravencrest Manor, butler Grant Phister realizes governess Belinda Moorland’s talents may be the key to undoing centuries of bloodshed and evil. Taking her under his wing, he begins teaching her the ways of her power - but is she strong enough to break the curse that has plagued the Manning family for centuries - the curse that keeps her handsome employer, Eric Manning, just beyond her reach?

A New Power Has Awakened
Meanwhile, strange things are happening at Ravencrest. A furious entity is breaking things in the parlor, the scarecrow has gone missing, and the creature in the vent is tormented by a ravenous new hunger. The very earth is alive - with an insatiable appetite for blood.

[Kat Gibbons · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so happy I found this series - and it's complete. I would have been devastated to get only 45 pages and then be left waiting for more!

This story continues from the Ghosts of Ravencrest Saga. Things are heating up - and coming back to life. Not a whole lot happens in the mere 45 pages. You get a bit more information into the curse of Ravencrest from centuries ago, and perhaps why Eric refuses to recognise his feelings for Belinda.

As I crack the spine of the next part of this story, I wonder what tricks, terrifying tricks Cordelia has up her sleeve - and what she plans to do with Belinda's mother in the dungeon...

Disappointing

I've read several of Tamara Thorne's books in the past and loved them. It even from the start, this story just didn't grab me or hold my attention. I was anxious to finish it, hoping it would pick up, but it just didn't for me.
