Half-Moon Manor: The Magic Chronicles, #1

By Alicia J. Chumney

While trying to protect her daughter, Victoria Whitmore is left with one more option – return to the hometown that never welcomed her.  It's safer than leaving Olivia anywhere near George Bell. 

 

The only problem with returning home is Weston Greene – Olivia's father.  Can Weston forgive the lies Victoria told him and accept the daughter he never knew he had?

 

Olivia has her own set of problems.  Henry, her best friend, lives next door to her grandfather's house and their relationship is not as platonic as they want people to believe.  Olivia is scared that a family curse will tear them apart before they can even come together. 

Making things more complicated is the family gift; Olivia has the gift of knowing where things belong and sometimes, because of those things, who belongs together. 

 

Can this mother and daughter come to terms about their magical abilities or will their abilities cause them to lose the people they love? 

And what about George?  Is he going to let Victoria and Olivia leave without a fight, or does he have plans of his own?
