Better Homes and Hauntings by Molly Harper
4.0
Spooky, funny, witty, supernatural mystery with a touch of love.
I really enjoyed this audio book. The story is wonderful. I loved the nerdy comments, the film references, and the witty conversations. The hauntings added just the right amount of spookiness.
Deacon is an unusual hero. He has the background of old money and yet the money he uses to rebuild the family home is from money that he has made himself in the tech world. I love that Deacon was extremely comfortable in his own skin, even though others didn’t agree with his decisions. He has an eclectic taste in movies and is a self-proclaimed Si-Fi nerd. Deacon has a way of making things fun even when it is serious. However, Deacon doesn't believe in the hauntings but he goes along with the others.
Nina is a great character. She starts out meek and afraid of her own shadow, who unfolds much like her beloved flowers. It only took friendship, love, and acceptance. She is extremely talented in landscape design. The indoor room that she creates is so easy to picture. I loved the ideas that Nina has for the gardens and the interior. She loves to dig and design but she truly has a heart of gold. Nina is highly sensitive to the hauntings on the island, it made me think that she was the one related to the ghosts.
The supporting cast is great too. They all make a wonderful team. Jake and Cindy with their little romance of sorts, along with Dottie and the others all fit together wonderfully with a comedic attitude toward finding the cause of the haunting. The way they each deal with the supernatural haunting on the island adds a real belief to the story. They all form this wonderful family unit. It is extremely nice the way that they protect, support and work together.
The narrator, Amanda Ronconi does a wonderful job. She has a way of playing off the suspense in the story and the voices that she uses to add a warmth to the story are lovely.
This was the first book that I have read (heard) by Molly Harper, I truly enjoyed it and will be looking up some of her other books. My rating is 5 stars.
