The Curious Inheritance of Blakely House: by Joanna Davidson PolitanoMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Rating 4.5
The author will take readers to a dark, mysterious house filled with twisty characters and a house breathing and speaking when not expected.
This one kept my head spinning and thoughts twisted as more and more information was revealed about the inheritance and how Sydney Forrester fits into everything.
Sydney was full of life and intrigue and care for others. I enjoyed her outlook on life and how she approached life and other people. Even when circumstances were against her, she was a light shining brightly.
Her quest to find out what happened to her deceased relative took her on dangerous adventures.
Another great gothic mystery from the author.

About the book:
It is 1901 when clockmaker and brilliant tinker Sydney Forrester inherits Blakely House, the eclectic estate of an estranged uncle she's never met. The well-known but mysterious industrialist has left behind a stunning array of peculiar inventions--and a couple of nephews intent on removing this interloper from the estate. Convinced that Sydney has something to do with their uncle's death, the late master's nephews contest the will and work against their cousin at every turn.
Sydney finds a sometimes-ally in the estate's butler, an ex-adventurer who ran aground on the island years ago. But when a mysterious man washes ashore with a stunning surprise that upsets everything, Sydney must prove she has inherited the late master's brilliance as well as his property--or someone else will.
