From Goodreads:
Paul Russo’s wife just died. While
trying to get his family’s life back in order, Paul is being tormented by a
demon who is holding his wife's spirit hostage on the other side. His fate is
intertwined with an old haunted mansion on the north shore of Long Island
called Stillwell Manor. Paul must find clues dating back hundreds of years to
set his wife's soul free.
My Thoughts:
There are many types of ghost
stories. Not all of them have to be horrifying.
This is probably my favorite type. I love a story that is wrapped around
a romance. In this case we have Paul,
who is dealing with the recent death of his wife from brain cancer. He is trying hard to get his life back
together for the sake of his children; twins Jesse and Veronica and the youngest,
Stella Luna. Paul, who has always made a
living selling houses, has been asked by friends of his to sell their place,
Stillwell Manor. Paul has all the
confidence in the world he can sell this place, even though it is known to be
haunted. Paul finds himself seeing
things, including his wife. Is it his
imagination or is there something, or someone that needs his help? Things are tied up neatly as Paul learns more
of the history of the house and finds connections. The question is, will he make those
connections before it is too late for him and his children? I love it. I especially love Hannah’s
story. I think this historical aspect
made the difference for me. This is
definitely one of my favorites among the books I have read by this author. I look forward to reading more by him.
