review 1: I have to start out saying that I was terrified to pick up this book because I read before I fall asleep and don't want bad dreams but after reading the first few pages I knew everything was going to be alright. This book is more of a comic relief then a horror story. The story is set in the south and I am from Alabama and I related to this book. It brought back my days of growing up in the south because nobody speaks like the southerns. There was even the mention of the Piggy Wiggly which was our local grocery store. The writing in the book is something like nothing I have ever read. Her comic wit will have you laughing your butt off. It is about two main people and their family. Leeanne Worthier the local beauty queen and George Witts the Heir to the family business. The... more two are perfect for each other and bound to end up together and get married. In George Witts family there was a tragidy where his uncle and cousins were murdered by their aunt in the family house. When the two marry George asks his father if he could buy the house and George's family just gives it to him free and clear. In almost all small towns there is always that one house that is considered the Haunted House that teens dare each other to go into and others just stay away. Leeann brother was one who was went inside and was spooked and fell out of the tree and died. This house is not the place Leanne wants to live but what choice does she have. All I have mentioned so far is not spoilers just facts of the first chapter or so. I am going to stop there with the story because I do not want to give any spoilers away but Leanne is a character that just jumps out of the book at ya and you fall in love with she is strong, witty and won't stop until she finds out what is going on in this house. I loved this book there is something in there for everyone from some paranormal to scary in places and a lot of smart witted comedy. If you from the south I think this book will be special and bring back some of your own memories..This book will not disappoint anyone and looking forward to anything Kathleen McKenna writes in the future.
review 2: This book is a DNF, I read to page 120 and couldn't take it anymore ugh. This is a story told by Leeann the narrator, so you only get her side. I was somewhat fine reading this even though I was tired of hearing how Leeann thinks she is the prettiest girl in Dalton. I cant even tell you how many times she has said that before hitting page 30 grrr. Anyway she is very shallow ends up getting married to an older man named George only because his family is the riches in town and can get things for her. Well George is not a hunk he is more average guy that is rich and she ends up Prego by him and marrying him, then she ends up loosing the baby and gets to move in the biggest mansion in town its also suppose to be haunted, well it could very well be I just stopped reading before really finding out. So as I was saying George moves her in the house and she ends up sleeping with Donny so I had to quit reading. Most of you know I don’t like it when the hero sleeps around the same in turn with the heroine nope I just cant do it. I really think this book is suppose to be on the humor side, I just couldn’t see that. The thing that counts most to me and the reason I read is the romance and I didn’t find any between Leeann and George if I cant find a good connection, I cant finish the book. less
