"A ghostly tale of love and vengeance...."

Fresh Fiction Review

Ghost House
Alexandra Adornetto

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted August 17, 2014

Young Adult

Chloe Kennedy sees ghosts. She thought the ability had left her as a young child but with the recent death of her mother, the ability has resurfaced. Worse yet, her father is falling apart emotionally and her grandmother is whisking her and her brother, Rory, off to England- far away from her home and friends. Chloe meets a new friend almost immediately, although Alexander Reade has been dead for 157 years. Unfortunately, Alexander isn't the only ghost lingering at Grange Hall and one of the ghosts seems bent on vengeance.

Alexandra Adornetto creates the perfect atmosphere for a story involving ghosts! Her beautiful but sometimes disturbing descriptions set the ideal backdrop as I could easily envision the countryside of England the grandeur of Grange Hall. Much like the two paranormal investigators visiting the Hall, I want to explore Grange Hall and its grounds to see what may lurk underneath.

GHOST HOUSE is the first in a new series that features both loving and vengeful ghosts. Chloe is a teenager torn between two worlds as she has to navigate a world without the comfort of her mother. Alexandra Adornetto does a marvelous job at showing how grief and love can stretch across time and boundaries as GHOST HOUSE is a bittersweet love story.

SUMMARY

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Halo trilogy comes the start of a beautiful and powerful new series

After the loss of her mother, Chloe Kennedy starts seeing the ghosts that haunted her as a young girl again. Spending time at her grandmother's country estate in the south of England is her chance to get away from her grief and the spirits that haunt her. Until she meets a mysterious stranger…

Alexander Reade is 157 years dead, with secrets darker than the lake surrounding Grange Hall and a lifelike presence that draws Chloe more strongly than any ghost before. But the bond between them awakens the vengeful spirit of Alexander's past love, Isobel. And she will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who threatens to take him from her.

To stop Isobel, Chloe must push her developing abilities to their most dangerous limits, even if it means losing Alex forever…and giving the hungry dead a chance to claim her for their own.
