Blackthorne Inn: The Anniversary Guests

Blackthorne Inn has always been a place of warmth, tradition, and familiar faces. And few guests are more beloved than Janis and Greg Kholler, who have celebrated their anniversary at the inn for twenty years. But when they arrive this year, something is wrong.

Greg is different.

His smile is too bright.

His temper snaps without warning.

His eyes drift toward the third‑floor rooms as if something inside them is calling to him.

Janis is terrified, and Ivy can see why.

As the inn reacts with flickering lights, shifting air, and uneasy creaks, Ivy realizes the house senses Greg’s change long before anyone else. And when other guests begin noticing strange behavior, the inn’s quiet warnings grow harder to ignore.

A diary wrapped in lace.

A room that pulls Greg toward it.

A past illness that doesn’t explain what’s happening now.

And a secret Janis has been carrying alone for months.

With Mags watching Greg like a hawk, Lena growing more frightened by the day, and Officer Caleb Rourke stepping in to help, Ivy must uncover what’s happening to Greg, and why the inn seems so determined to intervene.

Because Blackthorne Inn is awake.

And whatever is wrong with Greg Kholler…

the house felt it first.

Perfect for readers who love small‑town charm, emotional depth, generational secrets, and cozy mysteries touched by the uncanny.
