Series: Tradd Street - Book #1
The rich descriptions, colorful characters, and historical detail make The House on Tradd Street an exceptional read!! She weaves in elements of the paranormal, and suspense, along with a light romance...meshing it together which intrigues and delights. I think non-romance as well as romance readers will enjoy this book. Set in magnificent South Carolina, Karen White has written a magical story of heartache, dark secrets, and wounded souls.
Realtor Melanie Middleton sees ghosts...not that she would admit that to anybody. However, she is going to have to tell someone because she has just inherited a house filled with ghosts anxious to tell her their story.
Jack Trenhom is a writer obsessed with unsolved mysteries. Under the the disguise of investigating the disappearance of the mother of the deceased owner, he charms his way into Melanie's life and home. But the real reason behind Jack's investigation has a malevolent ghost making his presence known.
"Now Jack and Melanie need to unravel a mystery of passion, heartbreak, and even murder. And they must hurry...for an evil force - either dead or alive - lies in wait."
I loved this book for so many different reasons. The witty banter between Jack and Melanie had me laughing out loud. The strained relationship between father and daughter kept me hoping for a reconciliation. Delving into the characters' pasts had me pulling for some sort of closure. The ghosts had me cheering for good vs. evil. And the whole mystery behind the house had me turning the pages to see the outcome. I couldn't put this book down. I can't wait to read the next in the series - The Girl on Legare Street - to see what transpires between Melanie, her mother, Jack, and her grandmother's ghost.
