Inheritance of Shadows

Chloe, a pragmatic homebody, receives an unexpected and unsettling inheritance: Blackwood Manor, a decaying house shrouded in dense, foreboding woods, willed to her by a great-aunt she never knew. 
Her arrival is met with a chilling welcome-a furious flock of crows erupting from the manor's broken windows and the discovery of a sinister child's doll. 
Drawn by a strange, unbidden curiosity, Chloe investigates a half-open service door, where an unnatural cold and the disembodied giggles of a child lead her to a terrifying glimpse of a translucent figure. 
Her attempt to confront the unknown is met by a guttural, ancient voice whispering a dire warning from impossibly close, plunging Chloe into darkness at the very threshold of the haunted manor.All Rights Reserved

But when the clock struck twelve, something answered. Something that doesn't play fair. Now, the shadows are alive. Whispers crawl through the walls. One by one, they're disappearing... and only one will survive. Amara thought she was brave. She thought she could handle anything. But the Devil doesn't just want obedience - it wants fear. It wants control. And it will play until the last heartbeat. Will she survive the night... or become just another name on the list?

The Hollowing by BlackMoonVirgo

But she is - and something in the attic has been waiting for her bloodline to return. Seventeen-year-old Rowan practices witchcraft in secret and sees things no one else does. Her psychic gifts are growing stronger - and more dangerous. After her family moves into the old Blackwood house, she and her little brother discover an antique doll in a rocking chair. Its name is Anneline. And it hasn't moved in over a hundred years... until now. As shadows spread through the house and her brother's behavior changes, Rowan uncovers a hidden legacy of betrayal, burned witches, and a ritual that was never finished. Her family isn't just being haunted - they're being claimed. The Hollowing has begun. And Rowan is the only one who can stop it.

Her charismatic architect boyfriend, **Julian Thorne**, presents the perfect solution: a week at Blackwood Manor, his family's recently inherited, secluded estate.

Ethereal Vows: The Ghost Bride of Blackthorn Manor by aguaro

[Book 1] In a house where shadows breathe and whispers linger, a man inherits more than a legacy - he awakens something long forgotten. A presence watches over him, neither light nor dark, bound to the veil between life and death. What begins as fear becomes fascination... and what begins as protection becomes love. But love born from two worlds carries a price. In the halls of Blackthorn Manor, hearts beat in silence, the past clings like mist, and the line between the living and the lost fades into a haunting promise that will never die.

Whispers in the Walls by ShingCedj

They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.

Taming the Familiar by CourtneyClark061

Much to her daughter's dismay, Alexa's mother has fallen in love with the idea of moving into a new house. To make matters worse, this particular building belonged to none other than her very own eccentric uncle that had recently passed away. The property was left in a state of chaos after he'd left, meaning the task of sorting through his possessions and cleaning the place up was left to them. Follow Alexa on a journey of discovery, learning about both herself and the black sheep of the family who used to own the house. It's one thing uncovering the disgusting hobbies her late uncle kept (a mixture of taxidermy, dissection, and ancient methods of torture), but when a series of mishaps leads to her inheriting something from the man she never could have dreamed up, it's up to her to make sense of the crazy situation.
