The House on Prytania

By: Karen White

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

A woman is haunted—both literally and figuratively—by ghosts of the past in this second novel of the Royal Street series by New York Times bestselling author Karen White.

Nola Trenholm may not be psychic herself, but she’s spent enough time around people who are to know when ghosts are present, and there are definitely a few lingering spirits in her recently purchased Creole cottage in New Orleans. Something, or someone, is keeping them tethered to this world. And not all of them are benign.

But with the sudden return of Sunny Ryan, Beau Ryan’s long-lost sister, Nola has plenty to distract her from her ghostly housemates. Especially when the tempting—yet firmly unavailable—Beau, wanting to mete out justice to those he blames for Sunny’s kidnapping, asks Nola for a favor that threatens to derail her hard-won recovery and send her hurtling backward. He asks her to welcome Michael Hebert back into her life, even though Michael is the reason for Nola’s bruised heart. Beau is convinced that Michael’s powerful family was behind Sunny’s disappearance and that Michael is the key to getting information the police won’t be able to ignore—if Nola is willing to risk everything for which she’s worked so hard.

Torn between helping Beau and protecting herself, Nola doesn’t realize until it’s almost too late why the ghosts are haunting her house—a startling revelation that will throw her and Beau together to fight a common enemy. Assuming Nola can get Beau to listen to what the spirits are trying to tell him, because ignoring them could prove to be a fatal mistake...

Critic reviews

"Expertly packed with suspense and family secrets, and soaked in New Orleans atmosphere, The House on Prytania is Karen White at her best. This twisty, satisfying tale will keep readers up far too late."—Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel

"An exciting psychic mystery best enjoyed by veterans who’ve read all the previous entries in both series."—Kirkus Reviews

Always a fun ride

This series is developing the characters just as the Tradd Street series did. Looking forward to the next in the series. Karen White really does a nice job weaving the paranormal and everyday life.

Another winner

I really love this series and the one before it (Tradd Street) Hope there are more to come!

Enjoyable!

This was a very enjoyable read. I’m looking forward to reading the next story by Karen White!!

it was ok until the last chapters

This was really good but predictable. and the last chapters kind of fizzled out just when I was hoping for real intrigue!

Nice story line

Love the continuation of this series from its foundation of the Tradd Street series. That fact that it’s taking place in New Orleans with all its history makes it easy to create a wonderful story. I’m also enjoying the development of Nola’s character as she tackles her life in a new city.
