This is the third book in this series and it is as fantastic as the previous two! Addison is getting married at the Blackthorn Manor which held a particular place in her new husband’s heart. Addison has the gift of being able to see spirits and to help solve their problems so they can cross over. She can see the past as well as the future. Her Grandmother, who she is very close with also with the gift has finally decided to show Addison how strong her gift is, feeling Addison is ready to know it all now and receive the “special” book. There is a lot of mystery around Blackthorn Manor and the spirit of a woman and a young boy there that Addison tries to help. The owners of the Manor are nasty and not very friendly and When Addison tries to find our more about who the spirit is and why she didn’t cross over we end up with a couple of murders in the present as well as a cold case from the past. There are so many twists and turns in this storyline, you never know who the actual murderers are in post the cold case or the present cases at the manor. This is a page turner thriller that gets you involved from the first page! I can’t wait for Addison’s next adventure. I received and ARC from the author but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
This book is intriguing because of all the twists and turns. You do not want to put the book down.

One of the best books I have ever read
Interesting plot. I did manage to figure out “who-dun-it”, but not why. Well plotted and wonderful characters ! I really like this author!
Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down.
Engaging and suspenseful. Good read
Really enjoyed the book. Had a hard time putting it down.
Loved it! You think you’ve figured it out but wait! There’s another twist, then another! Keeps you guessing until the end! Can’t wait to read the other books in this series!
On Addison Lockhart’s wedding day, she keeps seeing a woman dressed in black. She knows it is a ghost, but she was hoping that this wouldn’t happen on her wedding day. Later that day, she looks out her window and sees the woman standing on the cliff above the ocean. As Addison is trying to stop her, some one pushes her out of the 2 story window. Luckily for her she wasn’t hurt at all. As she starts to ask questions about the Blackthorn Manor of it’s owner, she is asked to leave. Then the owner is murdered. Now Addison has to find out who the woman in black wants and who killed the owner. This is a story of a troubled family, lies and deceit, and much more. There is also a surprise at the end that no one saw coming!
I’ve enjoyed the previous two Addison Lockhart outings, liking the combination of murder mystery and the paranormal. Like all the author’s books, they’re easy to read, well written and filled with characters you root for.
This third novel follows the same path as its predecessors with Addison picking up visions of a lady dressed in black and a young boy, Billy, in and around the house. It’s clear the lady needs help, but why and how?
It’s just what you need on your wedding day.
Matters are complicated by Catherine, the owner of Blackthorn Manor. Far from a welcoming host, she goes out of her way to get Addison out of the place. But she’s not going anywhere until she’s solved the mystery. Assisted by her grandmother, she sets out to get to the root of the mystery with surprising results.
I must admit I felt some sympathy for Addison’s new husband, Luke, who was side lined at one point while she went off to investigate the mystery. Otherwise, it was another enjoyable adventure that started slowly, but soon built up a head of steam.
I’m looking forward to the fourth in the series.
Who is the ghostly apparition roaming the cliff’s edge? Blackthorn Manor and its owner hide so many secrets and Addison Lockhart is determined to get to the bottom of them despite her new husband’s misgivings after she was pushed from an upstairs window. If you enjoy mysteries with a supernatural twist you won’t be disappointed with this story.
If you like scary stories or paranormal, you will enjoy reading this story!
I had a read a previous book by this author and found this book to be just as entertaining to read. I find her characters to be well rounded and the story lines are interesting and thought provoking.
A wedding, ghosts and hauntings. What more could a reader want? Throw in a murder mystery too. Addison and Luke are getting married at Blackthorn Manor, a place with a special meaning to Luke. I loved the relationship between Addison and Luke. Right from the beginning Addison sees a woman outside with long dark hair and a black dress. The Manor is suppose to be closed to everyone but the wedding party and she is unfamiliar to Addison. t In true Cheryl Bradshaw fashion, there are many twist and turns before the surprise ending. You never know where she is going to take you or where you are going to end up. This is why I love her novels. I did receive this as an ARC but the review is honest and I would recommend this book to people who like this genre
I really enjoyed this book and the Addison Lockhart series. Highly recommended.
Definitely recommend. Great author!
have enjoyed the books of this author. Will keep reading the series and was light and scary at the same time.
I have always loved Cheryl Bradshaw’s writing style and this book was not a disappointment. Great character development and plot. Good read!
