Ava Morgyn's The Witches of Bone Hill is a spellbinding, romantic novel about family secrets and two young women who discover they're Nordic witches.
Cordelia Bone's meticulously crafted life and career in Dallas are crashing down around her thanks to a philandering husband with criminal debts. When her older, carefree sister, Eustace—a cannabis grower in Boulder—calls to inform her that the great aunt they never met has died and they must travel to a small town in Connecticut to deal with the estate, she sees an opportunity to unload the house and save herself.
But once there, the sisters learn they are getting much more than they bargained for. The Victorian mansion they stand to inherit is bound in a dynasty trust controlled by their late aunt's aging attorney, who insists they retain and inhabit the house but keeps them in the dark about the peculiar rituals of their ancestors. Not to mention a sexy, tattooed groundskeeper with a shrouded past who refuses to leave the carriage house and a crypt full of dead relatives looming at the property line.
As both women grapple with their current predicament, they come face to face with a haunting family secret, the truth of what happened to their mother, and the enemy that's been stalking them from the shadows for generations. In a twisting torrent of terror and blood, the sisters must uncover the power within them to heal their fractured relationship, reverse their mysteriously declining health, and claim the lineage they wanted to escape but now must embrace if they are to survive at Bone Hill.

      This wonderfully macabre contemporary fantasy from Morgyn (The Salt in Our Blood) deals in family secrets and bone magic. A messy divorce leaves Cordelia Bone’s life—and financial situation—in disarray. After the death of an aunt she’s never heard of, however, Cordelia and her estranged sister, Eustace, are surprised to learn that they’ve inherited Bone Hill, their aunt’s estate. Cordelia wants to sell, while Eustace thinks of moving in. Reluctantly reunited, the sisters discover that Bone Hill comes with much more than just a Victorian mansion and spooky crypt; it also contains family secrets, enlightening them both to a legacy of witchcraft. As Cordelia and Eustace awaken to their own magical abilities and learn Bone Hill’s dark history, mysterious threats appear around the estate—including dead animals and messages written in blood. It’s clear they’re being watched and that someone wants to drive the sisters from their new home. After a gruesome attack leaves Eustace in a coma, Cordelia must harness her ancestors’ powers to defeat the stalker. Morgyn’s chilling and atmospheric tale is darker than many of the recent slew of witchy contemporaries, though a romantic subplot for Cordelia adds some lightness amid the blood and gore. Readers will be spellbound.

      Morgyn's (The Salt in Our Blood) adult fiction debut is a spellbinding tale of two estranged, polar-opposite sisters who inherit a spooky home full of ghosts and centuries-old family secrets. Cordelia and Eustace Bone have many questions about the family they never knew; as they're the last remaining descendants, only the house and quirky family attorney can provide the answers. The sisters must work through the childhood fears instilled by their deceased mother, as well as the differences that led to their estrangement in order to solve a supernatural mystery plaguing not just their inheritance but their lives. While the pacing can be inconsistent at times, bouncing between the action of the main plot and lagging secondary stories, there are plenty of twists that keep readers engrossed. Overall, Morgyn effortlessly weaves together supernatural, horror, and romantic elements to create a quick but compelling read. VERDICT A delightful addition to collections where Anne Rice's "Lives of the Mayfair Witches" and other witch-centric supernatural series are highly circulated.--Kara Jonson
