Description

New Orleans is a city known for its paranormal history—and it’s the place Emma Rose Crane, AKA Mattie Hathaway, has come home to.

She hopes she can start over in New Orleans, where her ability to see ghosts isn't so freaky. She’s even starting college, but the whole thing would be a lot easier if she weren’t faced with a family she barely knows, all while dealing with the loss of someone she loved.

Can she really escape her past and be semi-normal? Even with her sister Mary and best friend Eric by her side, it's going to be a wild ride once she agrees to help Mary's new friends investigate a "haunted" house.

The house’s new occupants are terrified, and the ghost seems to be attacking their little girl, leaving everyone desperate for answers. Emma isn’t sure what to think when she discovers Dr. Lawrence Olivet was also invited to investigate.

Will her gifts be enough to save the family that is currently being stalked in their own home? And when some of her own family’s long-kept secrets come to light, will her fresh start be over before it even begins?

I started this book having no idea that it was a spin-off to another series. 🙈Definitely, there were things I couldn’t understand, but the story was pretty good. I can’t remember when was the last time I read a book about ghosts, but I can count the books about ghosts that I read, on one hand. So yeah... it was a breath of fresh air.

Great start to a new chapter of Mattie-now Emma’s life. Well I first have to say I’m so happy this series exists, Mattie aka Emma’s story was just getting started when the Ghost Files ended. Mattie, Mary and even Eric have all moved down to New Orleans and are attending college. All that was missing was dan and even he dropped in a few times. No matter what Mattie cannot forget who she is or what she can do. Things are no different when Mary drags her along to a ghost hunting experience with a c
