THE GHOST NEXT DOOR

When destiny takes a hand...

You've got to hold on tight.

When single mom Elizabeth Jennings gets sent to a new town to revamp its weekly paper, she resists. Her daughter Claire is just fifteen, and has recently started high school. But Elizabeth's boss insists, so the two pack up and move to the tiny Virginia town, which isn't even on most maps. Their luck goes from bad to worse when they discover the house Elizabeth rented online cozies up to an abandoned house. When creepy things start occurring next door, Elizabeth's glad to have the small-town sheriff in their corner. Nathan Thorpe is not just a stand-up guy they can trust, he's cool to have around when things go bump in the night. Elizabeth also learns he's good at holding her tight. And, when she's wrapped in his arms, she becomes afraid of more than ghostly happenings. She fears she's losing her heart.

Like most folks in Blayton, Nathan Thorpe is here for a reason. Only, he didn't fully understand what that reason was until a stunning brunette and her daughter came to town. Nathan's immediately drawn to Elizabeth and feels motivated to protect her and Claire, believing that means shielding them from nonsensical small-town lore. With Halloween approaching, there are rumors swirling about concerning the old Fenton place located across the street from the graveyard, and next to the newer home occupied by the Jennings. Nathan's a calm thinker who can find a rational explanation for almost anything. Yet there are deeper mysteries in Blayton than Nathan can explain. When he learns the truth, will he still be able to hold onto the woman he loves?

A sweet, traditional PG-rated romance.

Short contemporary length, approximately 50,000 words.

Wonderful and strange. Perfect Halloween Story

A woman at the library mentioned this book to me....I am glad I saw it....It seems a simple, sweet love story with a bit of teen first love thrown in and a haunting mystery on top...Add to that a town with quirky citizens and a mysterious cat....Perfect quick read which will hold you attention...loved it, usually, on mysteries I can figure out the ending but this one caught me completely by surprise and in such a great way.... ) One person found this helpful

The twist is a humdinger

February 8, 2016

I love the plot of the story but things just don't add up. The End makes some things clearer but not all at all. I'm left wondering what Melody seen in the mirror that made the mother and her \"move\" the very next day....Why people disappear and why in one chapter it explains that the school has a strict no backpack policy (because of a scene that has to play out a certain way)...yet in another chapter and though out most of the rest of book they are all carrying backpacks to school???? The...

Pretty Good

October 29, 2013

I absolutely LOVED the unique story line, and the characters were really good, too. The reasons I didn't give it five stars was 1. for the writing. It was very immature to me, and if I hadn't wanted to know what was going on with this little town I would have put it down around a quarter of the way through. And 2. even though the twisted end cleared up some questions (not all), it created more without answering them, and I personally don't like being left saying, \"But what about...?\" I would...

Nice Romantic Book!

I enjoyed this book, but it is very G rated. Not that this is a bad thing. I mean that this book fits anyone who likes an exciting and romantic storyline. The characters were believable and this book was well written. I am not sure if this book was written for tweens (since most of the characters are high school students), but it was a good mixture of love, ghosts, and the future of good things for new additions to a family. I had a good time reading this book! ) 13 people found this helpful
