GENRE:
Ghost/Haunted House/Horror
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Julie
and Brad Evans are house flippers. They buy low, clean out the old
occupants junk, and try to make a profit. Enter Hemmings House on
Bedlam Street in scenic Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Too good a
deal to pass up, but with an ominous secret. The old Victorian
Mansion has dwellers that do not want to be dispossessed. As the
house reveals its past, will the couple's marriage survive The Flip?

Excerpt:
“I
hate this place,” Brad grumbled, as he shoved another piece of crap
into the super thick black garbage bag. The basement smelled like
shit, and here he was, alone on his birthday and shoveling
hundred-year old junk from a dank cellar. This had to be the worst
flip they’d ever attempted. He gave the creaky stairs a gimlet-eyed
glance and for a nanosecond hated Julie. Really hated her and her
cockamamie ideas. Where did that idea of hate come from? he wondered.
He loved his wife, didn’t he?
“It
has so much charm,” she’d cooed every time they discussed the
place. And then, last night, she’d sprung it on him. “Let’s
keep it.”
“Over
my dead body,” he told the decaying piles of newspaper. Once they
finished this job and paid their bills, he had some thinking to do.
She picked the homes, went back to her tidy little job in the city,
and left him to muck around in the garbage. He couldn’t see himself
doing this for the next twenty years, not anymore. Not after this
dump. It wasn’t that he was afraid of work, or even plain old elbow
grease. There was something about this project that turned him off.
From the moment he entered the house, his skin crawled, and he found
himself unaccountably angered by Julie and her insistence that they
buy this place. It was as though his opinions didn’t count, and she
made him feel like a hired hand instead of her partner.

Fast paced read that will have you enjoying the book the entire time and possibly make you read it again back to back... that's what I did.. A story plot that you easily find yourself falling into and characters that will have you thinking you're them, living their life. A book that will keep you turning the pages and wanting more.
