The House on Prytania

By Karen White

Book Overview

A woman is haunted by ghosts of the past--both literally and figuratively--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 justice on those he blames for Sunny's kidnapping, asks Nola for a favor that threatens to stall her hard-won recovery and send her hurtling backwards. 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 that the police won't be able to ignore. If only 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...

Avid Reader

I first read the Shop on Royal Street and really liked the story along with the suspense. When I ordered this sequel, I thought it would be as good. But I really disappointed with this one. Semed very long and drawn out and kind of boring. Took me over a week to read and all the other books by Karen w ere page turners, however this one was not. Will continue reading Karen's books because I am a fan of her books.
