The Soul Jars - Lillian Darkwood Mysteries R M Burthom

Lillian Darkwood has mysteriously won a free trip to England to visit a beautifully yet creepy castle abandoned for centuries. Upon her arrival, Lillian discovers that she's one of eleven strangers chosen to participate in an adventurous quest: find the Cabinet of Souls hidden somewhere in the castle, break the Wilburton Curse that has been around forever and win the eight-million-dollar castle as is. Nothing to it, right?

They embark on their search alone with nothing but a map of the castle and a cheap flashlight. A decision the eleven defenseless adventures might not live to regret. It doesn't take long before the glamour and the determination to win fades as they discover they're not the only ones wandering the castle corridors. Several unworldly creatures don't want the humans there and will stop at nothing to prevent the living from achieving their goal. As the near-death experiences and terrifying ghostly encounters start to pile up, Lillian realizes that this is no longer just an exciting hunt through a castle. It is a fight for their lives.

Will the mismatched group of participants be able to solve their differences in time to break the curse? Will any of them get out alive before the ghosts and demons of the castle prevail?
