Teacher Morgan Peers has gone from living a tough life to becoming an heiress nearly overnight. When she inherits Woodmere Manor in the Hudson Valley in New York from her estranged father, she makes big plans for the future, but the past still holds sway over the fog shrouded mansion. Morgan begins to question her sanity when she sees a ghost and learns about the tortured history of the house, and its five tower rooms.
To complicate matters, two men make it difficult to listen to her own heart. Owen Long, the estate caretaker, offers friendship and understanding while Noel Crimson, a local priest with a tragic past of his own, haunts her thoughts. And time is running out because someone or something wants Morgan dead. Morgan must figure out if man or spirit haunts Woodmere Manor if she is going to save her life and find love.

For a short story the author uses good pacing and builds a suspenseful tale using small details and descriptions. She drops clues throughout without giving away too much at a time. It's difficult to build intrigue in so few pages but she does it. I wanted to know what was going to happen next so listened to the entire story in one sitting.
Loved it!
I received the book free from the author through Audiobook Boom.

I don't think I would read it again as I loved it and know most everything that happened.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

When they finally had hope for a new beginning.Nice old house.....

Any additional comments?
Not quite what I was expecting. Overall the story was entertaining and enjoyable. It kept my attention. I was expecting a little more of a mystery/thriller though.Suspense, mystery and creepiness with a little romance on the side.
The book was not long enough to build both the suspense and romance aspects of the story. So both sides of the story suffered. By the title you really expect the tower to be a main part of the storyline but it's not. The story started out great then just kind of fizzled out in the last few chapters.
It's also annoying when the main character is the TSTL type. Example's: You hear strange things and see an odd person in your yard, you don't get a cat from the shelter you get the biggest dog you can find. You find a room with disturbing content and the local priest offers to bless/cleanse the house, you jump on that sh*t right away.
Daniela Acitelli did a good job with the narration. Pleasant voice. Clearly spoken. Nice even pace of narration. Some good character voices, then some of her male voices sounded like Elmer Fudd. Which she may have been aiming for. I have listened to many books she has narrated and her character voices have always been great. She did bring the story and the characters to life. Very enjoyable

The main character of this book, Morgan, inherits a spooky house. As she settles in and learns its history, she becomes the target of affection by one or more suitors (no spoilers here!). As the story progresses, you as the listener learn the secrets of the house. The narrative wholly centers around Morgan, and it could easily have been written in the 1st person, as no scenes were without her.
Is there anything groundbreaking in the story? Not really. It's a romance. It checks all the boxes that romance novels need checked. Not that I'm highly proficient in what those boxes should be, considering I'm an average dad, husband, and software engineer. an interesting note is that the story was devoid of sex. Don't get me wrong, there was definite sexual tension, but you won't find any Fifty Shades stuff here, or bodices ripped, or even bad things done to goats... And it's not that I don't LIKE sex in my stories, don't get me wrong! it just would have ripped me out of the spell the narrator was weaving, and reminded me that I was being forced to listen to a GIRLY ROMANCE BOOK. Ugh. Cooties.
Speaking of the narrator: she was was amazing. Daniela's voice is pure silk. She has a gift for narration. It's not easy for females narrators to perform deep male voices, let alone multiple characters and give them a unique sound. But she succeeded and gave each male a slight nuance that made it easy to discern who was who. She held my attention throughout the performance and I forgot at many points I was listening to a girly romance novel. I highly recommend picking this book up just for her performance, as well as anything else read by Ms. Acitelli.
Or you could pick this up because you like gothic romance books. Be forewarned: based on fact that this is book 1, don't expect a tidy bow to be put on the ending.
In the end it, wasn't so bad. I survived the listen. I'm still a average dad, husband, software engineer. I would even venture to say I enjoyed the experience, and would do it again.
There guys, it's done. My debt is fulfilled. Now burn those damn pictures!

This book doesn't stand on its own. It just stops and you need the next book to continue the story. I don't like books that can't stand on their own.

Come to the Tower, Love: Northeastern Gothic Mysteries, Book 1
: Lisa Greer
A modern gothic with mystery, suspense , romance, and strange noises and things that go bump in the dark. This quick listen was ok, but felt a bit rushed. The author had a good storyline going, but didn't flesh it out into a full length novel.
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. Daniela Acitelli gave a good performance as always.

The narrator was good for most of the story, but some of her voices seemed a little ridiculous... She was otherwise a good narrator, but the voices bothered me.
