Sometimes the tide sweeps us into a fog where dark forces are at work…
All of a sudden evil and good become blurred…
Powerless and defenseless, we swim toward it, and wonder if we’re going mad.
Stifled by the repression of women in the 1800s, trapped in a loveless marriage, Eva lives a life of dissatisfaction and frustration. The tide sweeps her to the Rocky Mountains during the gold rush in 1859, where she finds unexpected hope at Owl Manor, a strange, dark place with owls in the very fabric of its walls.
But the stakes are perilous. Shadows wander the dim corridors. The owner of the manor is moody, volatile. Does she dare trust him?
Owl Manor is a phenomenal, addictive piece of fiction that left me shocked and astonished.

Soon however Eva will move, and it is here that she thinks she finds hope at Owl Manor. However the owner of this manner is strange and soon strange things begin to occur, all while a serial killer is on the loose killing prostitutes and this book lovers is the premise of the sensational Owl Manor!
The story of Owl Manor is a thought-provoking and thrilling one that is multi-layered and fast-paced.

Thank you for a great review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the book! I just wanted to say that although Eva is definitely a “classic woman of this period” as you said, I think she is also very relevant to current times given that women are still fighting to achieve the same recognition as men. Same with some of the other issues, such as parental neglect and abuse, the need to be accepted and loved, etc. Thanks again!
