About this listen
#1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning is back with a gripping, imaginative, and seductive new series in which a young woman moves to Divinity, Louisiana, to inherit a large fortune and a Gothic mansion full of mysteries and ominous secrets...
Zo Grey is reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a surprising call from an attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, with the news she has been left an inheritance by a distant relative, the terms of which he will only discuss in person. Destitute and alone, with nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers she is the sole beneficiary of a huge fortune and a monstrosity of a house that sits ominously at the peak of Watch Hill—but she must live in it, alone, for three years before the house, or the money, is hers.
Met with this irresistible opportunity to finally build a future for herself, Zo puts aside her misgivings about the foreboding Gothic mansion and the strange circumstances, and moves in, where she is quickly met by a red-eyed Stygian owl and an impossibly sexy Scottish groundskeeper.
Her new home is full of countless secrets and mystifying riddles, with doors that go nowhere, others that are impossible to open, and a turret into which there is no visible means of ingress. And the townspeople are odd…
What Zo doesn’t yet know is that her own roots lie in this very house and that in order to discover her true identity and awaken her dormant powers, she will have to face off against sinister forces she doesn’t quite comprehend—or risk being consumed by them.

Repetitive
The base of the story itself is interesting with a lot of promise. Unfortunately the interesting parts that push the story along are few and far between. Majority of the book is the internal monologue that repeats the same thing with no further progress or character development. By the end it feels like its 70% filler as otherwise the story would be a stand alone instead of part one of a series. I only finished it because I'm stubborn, really wanted to be wrong by the end, and I'm a big fan of the author.

very repetative
the story was very repetative and drawn out and for me lacked substance. I didn't make it to the end I quit it about 1.30 remaining

Great performance, great set up to an awesome series.
I'm in deep! I want to know more! KMM has done it again (if you need more, just pick up her Fever series!) Wonderful set up, intriguing characters and magic/politics/world building. Hints dropped here and there as KMM weaves her magic, all of which will come perfectly together. She is a master story teller and takes her characters through crazy growth and development.
