Nora Roberts Collection 5: Midnight Bayou, Chesapeake Blue, and Birthright

by Nora Roberts, Sandra Burr, James Daniels (Recorded by)

Midnight Bayou (James Daniels with Sandra Burr, Sandra Burr, Jill Sovis): Declan Fitzgerald had always been the family maverick, but even he couldn't understand his impulse to buy a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of New Orleans. Determined to restore Manet Hall to its former splendor, Declan begins the daunting renovation room by room, relying on his own labor and skills. But the days spent in total isolation in the empty house take a toll. He is seeing visions of days from a century past, and experiencing sensations of terror and nearly unbearable grief - sensations not his own, but those of a stranger. Only the companionship of the alluring Angelina Simone can distract him from the mysterious happenings in the house, but Angelina too has her own surprising connection to Manet Hall - a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret that's been buried for a hundred years. Chesapeake Blue (James Daniels, J.C. Howe, and Jill Sovis): Seth Quinn is finally home. Now a grown man returning from Europe as a successful painter, Seth is settling down on Maryland's Eastern Shore, surrounded once again by Cam, Ethan, and Phillip, their wives and children, all the blessed chaos of the extended Quinn clan. Still, a lot has changed in St. Christopher since he's been gone - and the most intriguing change of all is the presence of Dru Whitcomb Banks. Dru's past has made her sensitive to deception - and slow to trust. And Seth's past has made him a target of blackmail - as a secret he's kept hidden for years threatens to explode, destroying his new life and his new love... Birthright (Bernadette Quigley, Laura Grafton, Matthew Christilaw): On a hot July afternoon, a worker at an Antietam Creek construction site drives the blade of his backhoe into a layer of soil ? and strikes a 5,000-year-old human skull. As an archaeologist, Callie Dunbrook knows a lot about the past. But her own past is about to be called into question. Recruited for her expertise on the Antietam Creek dig, she encounters danger ? as a cloud of death and misfortune hangs over the project, and rumors fly that the site is cursed. She finds a passion that feels equally dangerous, as she joins forces in her work with her irritating, but irresistible, ex-husband, Jake. And when a strange woman approaches her, claiming to know a secret about Callie's privileged Boston childhood, some startling and unsettling questions are raised about her very identity.

This was such a great set of books!

[Victoria Risener · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Midnight Bayou" is a fun book with mysterious happenings and a family history that comes together with a blend of personalities.

"Chesapeake Blue" is a nice end to an interesting series tying it all together with unique personal stories.

"Birthright" is somewhat thought provoking as things like that happen today. The coincidences that bring it all together to a conclusion after a great deal of research and effort is worth the read. But you will find yourself asking "how could this happen?"

This is a story that takes place in the present and the past so you really have to keep up with it. Delcan Fitzgerald is drawn to a house in New Orleans and he gets strange vibes from the house. When he meets Angelina they embark on a 100 year journey from past to present with all the flashbacks in between. An intense read with a little spook tossed in to keep you on the edge of your seat!
