this book was given to me at my request for review

I enjoyed this book but couldn't understand the Spanish language, thankfully it wasn't a lot. The story was a good one with all the spirits lurking.

No melodrama

renovation, ghosts, paranormal, mystery

The perfect read for a lazy summer afternoon. The pace of the novel and the narration is slow with an even flow. No startling melodrama despite the renovation being unpopular with the local residents and the past residents of the building. Beautiful descriptions of the island, detailed and expressive imagery for everything and everyone. I really enjoyed it!
This was my chance to visit the islands where the Norwegian cousins spent many a holiday.
Virginia Ferguson is very well suited as narrator with her pleasant voice and clear delivery.
I won this audiobook in a giveaway! I really win!

Paranormal Mystery in the Canary Islands

This story is languid tale of ghostly hauntings at a Canary Island estate renovation. The pace of the story is what I expect is the pace of a hot island town. There is a lot of detail and history of the island included. Slowly we learn of prior inhabitants of the house as we try to guess who is haunting the ruins. Of course, there is a love interest that adds spice to the story.
The narration mimicked the tale with a relaxed tempo, building to an exciting conclusion.
I was given a free copy of the book at my request for an unbiased review.

paranormal for The Logical

when you try to brush away everything with logic, find simple reasons until there is no reasons so you can find. sometimes you have to brush logic to the side and just take it as face value. this is about a woman who comes into money and jumps into buying a beautiful old ruin. instead of finding a community of supportive people, she finds secrets and so many myths that she is not sure which to believe. it is wonderfully written and narrated.

A good story to listen

A good mystery that was unique and quite enjoyable to listen to. Quite a lot of historical detail and you can follow along quite easily. You like Claire and her new journey on the island of her dreams. The characters she comes across were unique and so was the paranormal aspect of the place. You'll enjoy it, so pick up a copy and enjoy.
