The Haunting of Blackwater
Page Turner Book Award 2024 Best Paranormal & Supernatural
Lina doesn’t believe in ghosts, but they won’t leave her alone.
When her father is killed, Lina and her little brother Mateo are forced to move in with her domineering uncle at Blackwater Manor. Lina soon discovers that her uncle intends for her to marry his nephew, Bray, to gain control of her inheritance. She is also convinced her uncle had something to do with her father’s death.
As the days pass, it becomes increasingly clear that Blackwater is haunted, and the malevolent presence seems determined to harm the siblings. To protect her brother, Lina attempts to communicate with the ghosts, all the while evading the handsome but devious Bray and crossing paths with the mysterious Max, a dashing army lieutenant with secrets of his own.
But as Lina unearths the atrocities of the past, she must now unmask her father’s killer and discover the ghosts’ intentions before she becomes one of them.
“This is one of those books that I couldn’t wait to get back to when I had to do life things. 😂 I would even read 2 or 3 pages if I only had a minute or so. It was that good. Marcia’s writing style is 5 stars alone for me. The story was solid from beginning to end. I loved all of the characters and how everyone tied in to the ending. Speaking of the ending, I was completely shocked. I did not see that coming!”

“This book has all the ingredients for a great ghost mystery! I love the characters, Lina and Mateo. They are strong, well defined and unique to themselves. Marcia Armandi masterfully creates a world that you get submerged in. As the story unfolds, each character becomes more defined. The vivid descriptions and the detail brings this story to life and gives you a sense of being there, watching it unfold. It’s a page turner, it’s heartwarming in some parts, terrifying in others and completely entertaining! There was a mysterious but also creepy kind of haunting through-out the book from the beginning at the train station all the way to the very end. I could not put this book down!”
