Twilight Ends is a grand Victorian B&B on the shores of Seneca Lake, a region in New York. it all begins with Matriarch Tessa who own the property and when she died it is up to her best friend and family to take care of it. Along the way the mysterious secret were revealed to the chosen one, the new generation of innkeepers. Tessa's daughter which is Skylar and granddaughter, Twyla digging into their past ancestor and they have been through a lot paranormal incidents which then lead them to their family's secret.
I always having difficulty to imagine Tessa and Twyla because there is a lot of scene of flashback. I always misunderstood Tessa as Twyla. The setting of the story during the American revolution through the modern time.I would said that this book suitable for someone looking for detailed accounting and history of a culture in America.
I love how Twyla's fiance stand by her side, console her and also convincing her about the wondering soul and during the unexpected incident. It is a good book but I just found that the way it been written and the genre itself not likely my type.
Overall ⭐⭐⭐out of⭐⭐⭐⭐
