Over a hundred years after the death of Magnus Blackwell, Altmover Manor sits abandoned. Determined to rescue the neglected Mount Desert Island landmark, a well-known architect purchases the once grand home.
Will Bennet and his fiancée—the quirky and stubborn Lexie Arden—want to make Altmover Manor their showplace. But Magnus has other plans.
A spirit bound to his former residence, Magnus finds himself inexplicably drawn to the young woman. She has a supernatural gift; a gift Magnus wants to exploit to end his purgatory.
As Lexie and Will settle in, secrets from Magnus’s past begin to surface. Compelled to learn all she can about the former owner, Lexie finds herself drawn into a world of voodoo, curses, and the whereabouts of a mysterious dragon cane.
It soon becomes clear Magnus’s sins won’t be so easily forgotten. What Lexie unearths about his road to redemption is going to change the future … for both of them.

I was hired to proofread this book. The only aspects of the story that I influenced were the spelling and grammar. If you feel that my connection to the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.
I did not enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed Blackwell, however that is due almost entirely to the fact that this is contemporary and Blackwell is historical. Historical fiction will win out with me pretty much any day of the week. I was actually a little sad when I started reading this manuscript and realized that it wouldn't be another historical fiction. In spite of that, I still enjoyed the ride, and what a ride it was.
What started out as a story about a creepy, haunted, rundown mansion turned into a quest for a missing cane with a lot of power. The mystery involved in finding the missing cane kept me flipping pages just to see how things would turn out. I got a few more glimpses into the past, which pleased me. Overall, this was a fun journey with a bit of spice thrown in for good measure.
