A Cursed Family?

I thought book two of the "Towry" series was as good as the first one. Anne Towry has become the mistress of Whitehall Manor, and she worked to change the family's reputation. Things were not working out quite the way she hoped. The story was good. I liked the complicated mystery that threaded throughout the book. I just had a hard time connecting with the characters. Mackenzie Welz's narration was fine as she was easy to understand. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Love the Horror!

This is another great book by L.V. Pires. Terrifying and atmospheric. Anne Towry is trying desperately to hang on to her manor home and relationship but there are so many real and unreal things trying to take everything from her. Add to that a horrible family curse that seeks her out and is determined to destroy her and you have the making of a nightmarish story. I'll definitely be sleeping with the lights on tonight. A perfect read for October. I can't wait for the next book.

Have you considered going rental, Anne?


The story is still suspenseful with more crappy dead Towry relatives but Anne is somewhat less relatable in this one.

I ain’t going nowhere though! Bring on Volume 3!

Sad but so good

Not as good as the first book, but a must read. I listened to the audio version of this book and it was nice to hear the same narrator as the first book. She's really good and she became the voice of Ann Towry. I'm glad they used the same person as the narrator. I don't know if it would have worked if it was another voice. This is the continuation of the Towry curse. In this book you will find out all the gory details of this cursed family. There is rape, and incest involved so beware if that's a sensitive topic, but the storyline is really good. Pires does a wonderful job pulling you into the story and into Ann Towry's life. I can't wait to listen to the last book of this series. It leaves you wanting more.

Family secrets even more twisted

Received as an audio review from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Gorgeously narrated by Mackenzie Welz, The Curse of Whitehall Manor harrowingly deepens the twisted secrets buried within Anne Towry's family that will leave you with shivers. After experiencing so much sadness and pain, Anne is determined to make Whitehall the talk of the town you want to hear through a much anticipated charity event. At the same Anne discovers the fears and joys of becoming a new mother; but this well deserved happiness cannot last forever as once an old journal of a dead ancestor comes to light, Anne becomes frightened that J. B. Towry demented desire to lay claim to the mansion will be fulfilled. And nothing or no one will stand in this ghost's warpath; forcing Anne, Teran and even their trusted servants to battle shadows and their own sanity to keep this dark past where it should belong.

A great series that's keeps getting better with each installment.

Highly recommended.

A Great Haunt

Another great installment in the Whitehall Manor series. I can't wait to read book three. This is a great tale of haunting, especially for the spooky season. The writing is excellent. The plot is well thought out and the characters are interesting and well-developed. You could read this without having read Book1, but I recommend starting at the beginning. You will appreciate this story more and will have two great books to read instead of just one.

Dissapointing Sequal

I really like the first book in the Towry series but I must say that I found this book somewhat disappointing. While the first book set up an intriguing premise filled with potential, this sequel fell short of my expectations.

The story continues to follow Anne Towry as she navigates the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of Whitehall Manor. The promise of uncovering more about the Towry family's legacy of madness and the mysteries of the manor kept me turning the pages. However, the plot felt repetitive at times, and the suspense that was so gripping in the first book seemed to wane as the story progressed.

One of the strengths of L.V. Pires' writing is her ability to create a chilling and immersive setting, and this book is no exception. The descriptions of the manor and the haunting echoes of the past are vivid and atmospheric. Unfortunately, the character development did not match the quality of the setting. Anne's struggles and emotional turmoil felt underdeveloped, making it hard for me to fully connect with her journey.

Overall, it is a decent read with some genuinely spooky moments, but it didn't quite live up to the standards set by the first book in the series. While it has its flaws, it may still be worth a read for fans of the genre who are looking for a quick, atmospheric horror story.

Interesting continuation

This was an interesting take on the curse and where it came from. You really need to read the first book in the series for most of this to make sense. Still not thrilled with the narrator. Didn't like the characters as much this time either. Why was so much of the history and reason for the curse coming from letters? That was just disappointing. Wasn't thrilled with the ending either. The first book spent more time developing characters and getting to know them. This one spent time on the upcoming auction and remodeling of the home. Not sure if I'll listen to the 3rd one.

I received the audiobook from StoryOrigin and this is my honest review.

Very interesting!

After ‘The Haunting of Whitehall Manor’ proved pretty addicting, I thought this one might be fun. … turns out I was right. But don’t go into it expecting it to be anything like book 1—this one has a paranormal twist.

This was a quick, addictive read which would make a great horror movie. It was mysterious, semi-plausible and mostly fast-paced. I hope to read on into the series.

4 stars.

Audio:
While the narrator has a pleasant voice, her narration is poor, and there was an issue with the sound quality. It wasn’t crisp and clear—there was an odd ‘she’s in a tin can’ sound throughout. And, unfortunately, she sounds robotic—I’m struggling to believe an actual human narrated this, as I’ve heard AI-narrations sound less robotic than this.
