The Haunting of Beatrix Greene: Vol. 1 by Rachel Hawkins

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a copy of The Haunting of Beatrix Greene in exchange for an honest review.

First and foremost, this is not a novel, nor is it technically any form of writing meant for physical consumption. This is an e-book ARC made for the first episode of a serial podcast.

After finding out this information from a fellow reviewer, the different questions I had about the way the e-book was written seemed to be answered as, after listening to the podcast version as well, they seem to work better in podcast form.

The overall story however was wonderful and I loved it. Beatrix Green is offered 200 pounds to spend a night at the every so famously haunted Ashbury manor. The two main characters of the story were wonderfully written and believable. Beatrix works at a fake medium and finds out through the story that she has powers of her own. James Walker has made it his life work to show the world how fake all these mediums are. They obviously find their way together and banter.

I greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of this horror e-book/podcast and would greatly recommend picking up the podcast as a horror story to listen to on your own time.
