Description



Book Synopsis



1903. Omaha, Nebraska.

Once a prominent fixture in Omaha's high society, Nina Wilson is now drowning in debt and disgrace following the untimely death of her father. Her engagement has been broken off, her family's grand estate has fallen into disrepair, and her mother, consumed by grief, is incapable of running the household.

Attempting to bring closure to her grieving mother, Nina invites a mysterious medium, Leroy Marshall, into their home. But Leroy Marshall's brand of charisma--equal parts alluring and repellent--leaves Nina feeling deeply unsettled. The man's presence seems to have awakened something otherworldly in the house itself, and now it's stepping out of the shadows, refusing to leave.



Review Quotes




"Darkly beautiful and laced with gorgeous atmosphere, The Night Guests will hold you captivated from its opening séance to the pulse-pounding conclusion. Brimming with romance, intrigue, and deception, this thrilling gothic tale is perfect for fans of Sarah Waters and Hester Fox." --Paulette Kennedy, bestselling author of Parting the Veil

"A terrifying twist on traditional gothic tales, Marina Scott's The Night Guests is the compelling story of a woman fighting to reclaim her power after the ruinous fall of her family. With nuanced characters and immersive details--both historical and horrifying--Scott's atmospheric writing pulls readers into a macabre world that will haunt them long after the last page is turned." --Erin Litteken, international bestselling author of The Memory Keeper of Kyiv and The Lost Daughters of Ukraine

"Nothing is as it seems at The Dawning, or in Marina Scott's eerie and unsettling The Night Guests, both of which are swathed in layers of gaslighting and gothic secrets that, like the heroine, force you to question everything, all while being lulled into a delightfully maddening dream of a tale." --Olesya Salnikova Gilmore, author of The Haunting of Moscow House

"Haunting and unnerving, tense and atmospheric. A gothic tale rife with all things curious, enigmatic, and ghostly, Marina Scott's The Night Guests will send shivers down readers' spines as it lures them into its pages and envelops them with this entertaining, chilling story." --Gabriella Saab, author of The Last Checkmate

"Ominous, mournful, and deliciously creepy, Scott masterfully unpacks themes of grief and loneliness in this slow-burn historical gothic novel, perfect for fans of Mexican gothic. You will find yourself looking over your shoulder long after you finish this book!" --Amanda Jayatissa, author of Island Witch
