3.5 Stars
It feels like it has been an age since I have read anything
by H.P. Mallory, but it is mostly my fault.
I stopped reading both Dulcie and Jolie series after “Malice in
Wonderland” and “The Witch is Back” respectively. They just lost something for me and I didn’t
feel like moving on. Jolie had gotten
annoying to me and I am still mad at Knightly Vander!
I finally convinced myself to read this first book in a new
series. I really enjoyed it, but I must
admit that I have a much harder time with ghost/demon stories than I do with
many other types of paranormal reads.
They keep me up at night and make me nervous! This is the only reason why I am not sure if I
want to continue. I HATE, HATE, HATE
watching scary movies and refuse to do so.
They just get inside my head and I become a small child who is scared of
the dark. Thus reading a scary-ish book like this is right on the
cusp of what I enjoy. I like suspense
and fighting, but scary is not my genre.
There was enough light-heartedness in this book to keep it from
terrifying me though which is the only reason why I might read on. I am however reading the first book in the
Lily Harper series so I got that going for me.
Peyton Clark is a newly divorced woman who has inherited a
house from a great-aunt she never knew in New Orleans. She meets her neighbor, Ryan and can’t stop
thinking about him (even though she is newly divorced and wasn’t
interested). She needs to renovate her
old house and in the process has been contacted by a ghost who used to live
there. She has found old newspaper
clippings about a serial killer and is being attacked by a evil spirit.
