An unsuspecting nurse is lured to an ancient family mansion, said to hold both ghosts and horrifying secrets, in order to care for three recently orphaned children.
Amberlyn Lyons has recently suffered a devastating miscarriage that has torn her marriage apart and shaken her faith. She quietly takes a nanny position at an isolated mansion without electricity, telephone, or ease of passage.
The moment she walks into Bloodmoon Manor, Amberlyn deduces that all things aren’t as they seem. The eerily similar owners distrust doctors who, in thirty years, have been unable to cure their severely deformed daughter Katerina. Katerina both idolizes and despises Amberlyn for her beauty. Childishly cruel, Katerina enjoys tormenting the orphans placed in Amberlyn’s charge by telling them tales of the malicious ghost that haunts the decaying mansion.
Amberlyn discounts the paranormal legends as made-up stories until she hears the shuffling of footsteps in the cold, dark halls and feels that she’s being watched at every turn. She knows the ghost is real and she must protect the children. But when she discovers a graveyard behind the mansion filled with babies who died at birth or shortly thereafter, she realizes the ghost of Bloodmoon Manor is really a family curse and she was brought there to uphold a grim family legacy. Either she finds a way to escape with the children…or she is doomed to become the next Bloodmoon bride.






5 Flags! “THE BLOODMOON CURSE is a horror story that really gives a new meaning to the word horror. Once you start reading this book, it’s impossible to put it beside you. You can’t stop yourself from finishing it. At Bloodwood Manor, the dead people are as important, in a terrifying way, as the live ones. The living people take care of the dead ones, but the dead ones are very demanding in an atrocious way… I’m really very excited about this book, and especially about the so-unexpected end. In my opinion, Karen Wiesner has written a page turner, and those of you who like horror will agree with me. Believe me, you don’t want to miss out on this story. If possible, I would give this book 6 flags!”

After reading this book, all I can say is be careful of any answering any ‘nanny’ advertisements. You may get more than you bargained for.”
“A story about a spooky old house and its strange inhabitants, THE BLOODMOON CURSE is a frightening tale and more of a horror story than a paranormal romance. ...If you are in the mood for a well written, frightening story, THE BLOODMOON CURSE is sure to fill the bill.”
5 Angels! “THE BLOODMOON CURSE is an intriguing read that sent spine-tingling sensations through this reader. I could feel the helplessness that Amberlyn felt with the loss of her babies, and the way Cain and his mother treated her was very unfair. I wanted to reach through the pages and offer her help. The story was so engaging that I couldn’t stop reading. The ambience and mood of the surrounding events, especially at Bloodmoon Manor, was quite exciting. Ms. Wiesner makes the manor, along with the cemetery, so visual that I could almost feel and see the sights and sounds encircling Amberlyn. She allows this reader to sense the emotions and dread that lace the pages. This captivating read kept this reader practically hypnotized with all the actions. Unique and wonderfully written, this is one satisfying tale that this reader highly recommends. The story flows so consistently that the ending was something I never anticipated. Bravo to Ms. Wiesner for one story that I find a recommended read. I absolutely loved the cover, too.”
4 Stars! “One cannot help but become emotionally invested in Wiesner’s broken characters. This gripping romantic drama, with paranormal elements, also has a surprising amount of inspirational content. This novel will pull at your heartstrings while scaring you to pieces.”
