The House on Prytania by Karen White
4.0

I have read Karen White for a long time and this series with Nola as the main character has become my favorite series written by her. The New Orleans setting is great, but the house is wonderful! I love the haunting, the ghosts all have personalities that make them more than ghosts, they are characters that make a difference in the story. Of course, Nola and Beau are the perfect non-couple to solve the mysteries.

The story is full of the history of New Orleans, which I love since I could picture the houses and the other settings. I loved that Karen White took us on a tour of a cemetery, talked about Bourbon Street, and other well-known landmarks.

Nola and Beau, could there be a non-couple that belongs together more? They are circling each other, working hard to non-flirting with each other, and keeping secrets from each other. Nola just wants to keep Beau from getting killed or hurt by a powerful family, so she decides to do what she can to figure out the secret of Sunny’s kidnapping. I liked the mystery of Sunny, the figuring out what had happened to her, but for me there was no big surprise at the end.

This is a great addition to the series, and I love that it can be read as a stand-alone. I recommend this entire series.
