Compulsion by Martina Boone

Compulsion (Heirs of Watson Island, #1)

by Martina Boone

Beautiful Creatures meets The Body Finder in Compulsion, the first novel in a spellbinding new trilogy.

All her life, Barrie Watson has been a virtual prisoner in the house where she lived with her shut-in mother. When her mother dies, Barrie promises to put some mileage on her stiletto heels. But she finds a new kind of prison at her aunt's South Carolina plantation instead-a prison guarded by an ancient spirit who long ago cursed one of the three founding families of Watson Island and gave the others magical gifts that became compulsions.

Between Barrie finding out about her family's past of privateers, an ancient curse, family feuds, and family secrets. Plus dealing with the death of her mother, and her Godfather slowly dying from pancreatic cancer. This book kept me captivated from start to finish, and was one of my quickest reads this year.
