Brilliantly creepy!

If there’s such a thing as brilliantly creepy, then this book qualifies! The World War has just ended and British citizens are recovering. Tom has left London to visit his elderly grandfather in the country. Returning to the his father’s childhood home brings back a memory of an apparition in his room on one visit. As Tom settles in for his visit, he begins seeing visions from the past…and one very evil girl. Think The Bad Seed!! Another fast paced story that will keep you reading/listening!
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Entertaining paranormal mystery

The author expertly combines 2 genres to give the listener a very enjoyable experience. The talented narrator brings it to life.

Lovely ghost story, disappointing narration

Emily’s evil ghost is a well written, short ghost story that includes the development of relationships within a family and love throughout the story.

I keep thinking of campfire ghost stories when it comes to characterizing the story and writing.

The narration didn’t do it for me at all, unfortunately, and detracted from the writing.
The base tone has a little bit of urgency in it, but no variation outside of that. It lacks expressiveness due to the absence of variation in even just the pace (with the exception of some oddly placed pauses). Each sentence has pretty much the same sing-songy melody that makes it easy to get distracted.

That said - the story was still strong enough to look past it and genuinely enjoy :)

Loved it! Enjoyed every minute of it!

Loved it! Enjoyed every minute of it! Couldn't stop listening to it! Hope to another book from this author & narrator!

entertaining murder mystery

this was a very entertaining murder mystery book. It had an interesting turn of events. It was not a predictable ending. I'm uncertain about how I feel about the ending but it was an overall good book
