MY REVIEW: The suspense in the book is amazing! So many twists and turns you won’t see coming! It will have you on the edge of your seat right up to the very end! Jaime Jo Wright did a phenomenal job with this one. I already want to re-read it and annotate it🥰

Some quotes I loved:

• “If she allowed her romantic side to awaken, Minnie imagines she would have traveled to London in 1859 and engaged in conversation with the then-alive Victor Barringsworth. Instead it was almost thirty year later, and she was a husbandless female falling for a dead man and his writing.”
• “Minnie was a romantic at heart, a pragmatist by necessity.”
• “Love sometimes fell short when worlds collided in a battlefield of warring beliefs.”
• “Why was it when a soul sought peace and truth, they were tempted to venture into the dark and mysterious?”
• “Just know that sometimes you have to define the darkness before you can step into the light.”
• “Those who do not fight against evil will read evil, and those who tender acquaintances with the wicked of heart…should expect no less in payment for their affections.”
• “How one views God influences how they view those who have wronged them.”

OVERVIEW: The manor’s rumored one-hundredth door may conceal secrets hidden as deep as the estate’s bookshelves extend high . . . but the haunted past has a way of ensnaring curious souls. 

In 1888, Minnie Tipton finds herself beset by the dark superstitions that envelop the Pennsylvania mansion her father bought. Convinced the vengeful spirit of a Civil War captain haunts the house and worried by her father’s rapidly worsening illness, Minnie delves into the home’s fraught past in an effort to bring him peace. Yet the lingering impact of the war and the gruesome tale of murder she uncovers only foster more fear and threaten to unravel Minnie’s own sanity.

In the present day, Triss Bellamy eagerly steps into the role of bookshop manager in the mansion-turned-museum boasting ninety-nine doors. But Triss’s dream job turns into a nightmare when havoc breaks loose with the arrival of her brother’s team of self-proclaimed paranormal investigators. Their determination to find a rumored one-hundredth door–a dangerous portal to the madness long said to plague the mansion–results in calamity, leaving Triss no choice but to hunt down the truth or watch her brother slip forever beyond her reach.

An atmospheric dual-time Gothic suspense masterfully penned by acclaimed author Jaime Jo Wright with themes of a Civil War-era ghost, a possible hidden door, and unexplained mysteries at a historic mansion’s bookshop with a troubled past.
