Summary from Goodreads:
Three plantations. Two wishes. One ancient curse.
All her life, Barrie Watson had been a virtual prisoner in
the house where she lived with her shit-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 aunts 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 generation-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.
Why I'm waiting:
This sounds like a good mix of magic, history and love. Plus, did I say magic already!?!? because yea, MAGIC!! Curses and ghosts and all sorts of fun things going on with this one!
With her "shit-in" mother? I really hope that's supposed to be shut-in, hahaha! Aside from the really unfortunately typo, this sounds like an interesting book. I hope you love it when you get a chance to read it!
