The Haunting of Beatrix Greene: Vol. 1 by Rachel HawkinsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I received an ARC Kindle edition of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a quick read. It is a good ghost/old haunted mansion story. While reading this book, I was getting images of the movie The Haunting, which is based on Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. While the story itself keeps you reading, things just... happen. For example the romance element. There is no development of the romance. The best analogy I can think of is the over dramatized parody shows where two characters scream at each other and then in a split second are "kissy faced" and all over each other.
Now that I have finished this book, I find I need to go look for more ghost stories and creepy movies to watch. It really does put you into that kind of mood.
The book I read consists if nine "episodes," but it is labeled as Vol 1 on Goodreads and appears to be part of a series on Amazon's site (ASIN : B08FJJ9252). If this is going to be a series, I really look forward to where this character's story will take us.
