Shadows of Whitestone Manor. ( The Winters Family Series #2) by Brittany Jo James. Sale Price for a week. + My ARC review.




 SHADOWS OF WHITESTONE MANOR
Author: Brittany Jo James
Series: The Winters Family Series, Book Two 
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Romance





~ SYNOPSIS ~
Some shadows are as dark as night.

At least mine are.

My name is Grayson Winters and you’ve already been introduced to my family’s story.

Four months have passed since Lilith moved into Whitestone Manor to be with my brother, Orson. Now they’re getting married and it’s all I can do not to gag when they giggle at each other. Whitestone Manor represents nothing but secrets and darkness to me. Then, light begins to pour into my bleak world.

Prater Hahn has disappeared without a trace. Not that I blamed him or his brethren. I still wasn’t entirely sure Whitestone Manor was where I belonged either. All I knew for certain was that sweet, precious Ava Prescott seduced me with every bat of her eyelashes. Too bad for me, dating her was against the rules.

When a new danger arises to test the residents of Whitestone Manor, it falls on me to eliminate the problem. I thought I didn’t need my family’s help. I thought I could protect the ones I loved. Until I realized, not all who seem harmless truly are.

Loving the seemingly angelic girl I was forbidden to date certainly isn’t innocent.

But perhaps, neither is she?

If you aren’t afraid of what lurks in the shadows, I’ll tell you my story.

MY REVIEW:

★★★★★
Whitestone Manor is being prepared for a wedding.  It will be the first time that anyone outside the family has been inside the grounds for many years. 
Grayson Winters is the second son of the family, and has always considered himself the black sheep.
Since the death of their parents the Winters siblings lived with uncle Sebastian.  With his death they must all step up and take over all the family business.  Grayson feels like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, with no relief in sight. His brother is so happy, but that type of happiness will never be for him. The girl he has wanted for the last ten years is so far out of his reach. His family's business is far to dangerous for outsiders to be close to. 
Ava Prescott is the daughter of the local banker. Her father is extremely strict and controlling. He particularly warns Grayson to stay away from her. 
This might sound like your typical Romeo and Juliet story but there is a much more sinister side  to this one. Grayson and his family hunt and kill devil worshipers. There have recently been some mysterious disappearances. There could well be an other group about.

SECRETS OF WHITESTONE MANOR
Author: Brittany Jo James
Series: The Winters Family Series, Book #1
Genre: Young Adult Romance | Paranormal Romance
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Some secrets are too dark to ever be brought into the light. 

At least mine are.

My name is Orson Winters, and you already know too much for me to let you walk away.

A decade has passed since my parents were killed, forcing my younger siblings and me to move in with our estranged uncle. Whitestone Manor in all its grandeur was overwhelming enough. Then, we learned the family secret. 

There’s darkness in the world no one, besides a handful of fighting families, even knows exists. The Winters family is the most acclaimed of them all. However, power isn’t always pleasurable, especially considering that it’s my responsibility to keep my reckless brothers and sister from jeopardizing us all.

When an old enemy emerges from the shadows, Uncle Sebastian calls in another fighting family to assist. I didn’t need their help. I could independently protect my siblings and the rest of the world from danger. That was, until I met Lilith Shaw. Now I’m not even sure that I can protect myself.

I can’t focus on that, though. 

I’m the last one standing between you and those who wait in the darkness.

If you can keep a secret, I’ll tell you my story.

MY REVIEW BOOK #1

★★★★★
After the deaths of their parents Orson, his two brother's and his sister are taken to Whitestone.  This is the home of his uncle that their father walked away from to attempt to give his family a normal life. The family business is much more than the copper mine, that just supplies the wealth. 
The siblings lead a strictly organised life, because their real job will be to protect the innocent from the Sons of the Serpent.  
Another family of fighters come to help out with a large group.  Lilith is a very independent woman,  used to fighting and looking after herself.  When Orson tries his over protective attitude with her , she has to put him right. 
This is a story that gives us ordinary people doing a heroic job. How they keep the things they do from the authorities is a bit of a mystery. Lots of fights, danger and plenty of emotion. I look forward to the next in the series.
