What a fantastic story! I love books with a paranormal twist!!!!!
An excellent read!
Alyssa has written a beautiful love story. The story is full of danger. Known and unknown to all concerned. Fear and surprises are around every corner.
This book was much better then I anticipated and I’m happy I gave it a read and already can’t wait for the next one. I loved the paranormal aspect of it and the steam level on was on point!!
Gemma Stewart has a special gift. However this ability nearly caused her death. Her father knows her feelings about the supernatural but he’s desperate. He asks her to help him save his business by restoring historic Alcott Manor which is inhabited by a destructive ghost trying to prove he didn’t kill his wife. An accident hospitalized her father and forced her to undertake the work by herself. Can she restore Alcott Manor? Gemma is brilliant and very perceptive. She feels the seductive pull of the house and is afraid of its power. I was amazed at her strength and courage. The ghosts are demanding. It made me nervous. I hoped that she would be able to accomplish her goal, but I was afraid for her. Henry Alcott wants to save the house as well as the family legacy. He’s the only one who can tell Gemma about the history. I like how they work together and immediately form a romantic connection. The story was suspenseful and spooky. The supernatural was a powerful element in this book. I was shocked by the unexpected twists. Alyssa Richards pulled me in with this gothic mystery filled with death, supernatural haunting and a powerful romance. The ending was amazing. I couldn’t believe what happened.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.
The Haunting of Alcott Manor
The Haunting of Alcott Manor, Book 1
By: Alyssa Richards
Narrated by: Erin deWard
This book has it all! A fantastic love story, a bit of paranormal fantasy and suspense that is off the charts! I could not stop listening. Alyssa Richards began the Haunting of Alcott Manor with a bang! Gemma is determined to complete the renovation of Alcott Manor to help her father. No other company has been able to finish it due to Benjamin Alcott’s ghost. He comes regularly looking for the suicide note from his wife. Now the anniversary of her death is quickly coming, and Gemma is under a severe time constraint to get it completed, Henry Alcott comes to her aid, and begins to help her and their feelings grow. It’s a story that builds the suspense, as the house comes alive. It’s an intricate story, drawing you in, and letting you see what happened. It’s such a great lesson in the history of the house, it’s impossible not to keep listening to find out the truth. And the twists and turns and complete surprise at the end are so worth the tantalizing listen. I loved every minute of it!
Erin deWard is amazing in the narration of this book. I love her voice, and I can’t even begin to say how incredible her performance was. She became this story, connecting with each character and making it all come to life. From the house to Gemma to Henry, I knew what was happening with inflections in her voice and it made the story like a movie in my mind.

Wow! What a mystery. Kept me guessing from the very beginning. Lots of twists and turns. Alcott manor has lots of mysteries within and I can’t wait to uncover them all through the series. I was happy to see Gemma and Henry connect and solve a mystery together. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
WOW! What a great read Miss Richards! I am truly happy to have found this little gem!
Now this is what I’m talking about…absofreakingamazing!
It’s authors like Ms. Richards that really opened up the portals to my world, and instilled/nurtured within me a love for reading. Hook, line and sinker you are pulled fast and hard into her storylines and are wrecked when you’ve reached the end…you just don’t want it to be over. The Haunting of Alcott Manor is no different and has a wonderful mix of gothic suspense/mystery with a titter of romance that will captivate you..and the end…omg I so didn’t see that coming. What a stunning conclusion!
This was my first Alyssa Richards’s book, and won’t be my last. The Haunting of Alcott Manor is a formidable Paranormal Romance. OMG! This story is amazing! Intriguing, Captivating, Mysterious, Twisted, Thrilling, and Unpredictable! Gemma and Henry are great characters. Erin deWard did an outstanding job with the narration. I enjoyed it!! I HIGHLY recommend it! Looking forward for the next book in this Series!
The Hunting of Alcott Manor was my first book I read of Alyssa Richards, I The Thoroughly enjoyed every page. Gemma has an amazing gift and as she uses her gift it truly sends you threw time back to like you were in the 1800s. I loved reading this book and trying to solve the 100 year old mystery to put everything into place where it needs to be, but just when you think you know how it all is going to end this amazing story teller throws a twist at the end. I can not wait to read the A Murder at Alcott Manor as well as A Stranger in Alcott Manor.
