The Annalisse Series by Marlene M. Bell - #bookspotlight #bookpromo #blogtour

 

From cursed artifacts in Manhattan to dangerous betrayals in rural New Zealand, Marlene M. Bell’s Annalisse series sweeps readers into a world where history, romance, and crime collide. At the center of the series is Annalisse Drury, an antiquities appraiser whose work repeatedly draws her into mysteries with deadly consequences. 

In Stolen Obsession, the discovery of a cursed piece of Persian jewelry tied to murder introduces Annalisse to Alec Zavos, a man whose powerful family name will soon become entwined with her fate. 

Spent Identity carries her back to Upstate New York, where the disappearance of her aunt and the shocking discovery of a body in the barn unravel long-buried family secrets. 

In Scattered Legacy, Annalisse and Alec travel to Italy, only to be swept into Mafia conspiracies, embezzlement, and corruption that threaten Alec’s late father’s legacy. 

Finally, Copper Waters takes Annalisse to New Zealand in search of peace, but her retreat turns deadly when mysterious deaths and political corruption draw her into yet another fight for survival. 

Taken together, the four novels layer intrigue and romance across international settings, with twists that keep readers turning the pages until the very end.
