The Reincarnation of Anna, Thornehaven Four
Still raw from her mother’s death, Corinne is swept into the sudden, intoxicating affection of Julian Thorne. Their whirlwind marriage carries her across the ocean to Thornehaven, where the long‑shadowed corridors feel thick with someone else’s memories.
Julianna, Julian’s fifteen‑year‑old daughter, greets her with a gaze far too knowing for a child. Alice, the scarred twin of Julian’s late wife, offers a gentleness so maternal it feels like refuge. And above the mantel, Anna Thorne’s portrait watches with dark, impossible beauty—mirrored perfectly in the daughter who studies Corinne as though she doesn’t belong.
As the house closes in around her, the halls grow colder. Footsteps pause outside her door. Small, inexplicable disturbances leave no rational explanation. Corinne begins to fear she has stepped into a life still claimed by the woman who came before her. And when an unplanned pregnancy unsettles the fragile peace, the unease sharpens into something darker.
To survive Thornehaven, Corinne must uncover the truth behind the family’s obsessions—before the legacy of the first Mrs. Thorne decides the fate of the second.
I love this author’s writing style. I’ve read most of her books and this one meets all of my expectations. The story pulls you in immediately with suspense and takes you into twists and turns along the way until reaching an exceptional ending. I can’t wait for the next Thornehaven book to come out! – Sandi Leinen
