Compulsion
The Heirs of Watson Island #1
Author: Martina Boone
Release Date: October 28th 2014
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Beautiful Creatures meets The Body Finder in this spellbinding new trilogy.
Three plantations. Two wishes. One ancient curse.
All her life, Barrie Watson has been a virtual prisoner in the house where she lived with her shut-in mother. When her mother dies, Barrie promises to put some mileage on her stiletto heels. But she finds a new kind of prison at her aunt’s South Carolina plantation instead--a prison guarded by an ancient spirit who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions.
Stuck with the ghosts of a generations-old feud and hunted by forces she cannot see, Barrie must find a way to break free of the family legacy. With the help of sun-kissed Eight Beaufort, who knows what Barrie wants before she knows herself, the last Watson heir starts to unravel her family's twisted secrets. What she finds is dangerous: a love she never expected, a river that turns to fire at midnight, a gorgeous cousin who isn’t what she seems, and very real enemies who want both Eight and Barrie dead.
This one looks interesting. The cover looks so familiar to me, I could swear I've seen it on an older book. Am I going crazy or is it a stock photo that I actually have seen before?
ReplyDeleteThis book looks so intriguing! I love the idea of there being an ancient curse that is affecting them now. Great pick!

Escaping from family can seem impossible...I love reading about characters that successfully do this. Sounds great!
