The Haunting of Rachel Harroway Omnibus
By: J.S Donovan
Narrated by: Aundrea Mitchell
Series: Rachel Harroway Paranormal Mysteries, Book 0-2
This was a book I received from freeaudiblecodes and the review is my own opinion.

This has three stories in it. The first story tells the reader about a horrible massacre in a family home then many years later a couple buys this home. The woman, Rachel, can see the ghosts and hear them. Rachel's mother is in a mental hospital, long term, and Rachel is worried that she is going crazy.
This first story seems to be the prequel for the rest so we know how Rachel noticed/developed her gift.

The next story is six years later and Rachel is divorced, guess her ex couldn't handle ghosts, and she is working for the cops. This one involves a serial killer from the time her father was in high school. It's pretty intense. Great story.

The next story continues the last one but gets more involved. All of these have great supernatural suspense, characters, and twisted plots! Only a couple of creepy ghosts but they were creepy as humans!… (més)

The Haunting at Sebring Hotel
A Riveting Haunted House Mystery Series, Book 13
By: J.S Donovan
Narrated by: Cheryl May
A pretty good creepy haunted hotel book with scary ghosts and scarier people! A mom with two teen boys try to start a new life by fixing up an old historical hotel and ends up getting more for their money than they bargained for. The hotel has a very dark history and is occupied already.
Lots of good creepy moments, scary situations with nonhuman and humans, good plot, and satisfying ending.
Narration was easy on the ears and good with voices.
I received this book from freeaudiblecodes.… (més)

I love a good ghost story. When I saw the cover for this ebook and read the description, I knew I needed to read it. I'm glad I did! I thoroughly enjoyed this spooky read!

In this short introduction to the Rachel Harroway series, Rachel and her husband Brett move to Highlands, NC and purchase an old Victorian house. The Hadley House, built in the 1890s, has seen better days, but Rachel looks forward to restoring the old home with her husband. After moving in, strange things start happening in the house. Rachel does some research and learns that a family was murdered in the house in the early 1980s. When their ghosts start appearing to her, calling for her to find their killers, Rachel realizes she needs to investigate the murders to keep from losing her mind.

There are some editing errors in this book -- just small ones -- some grammar mistakes and little things that caught my attention, but only for a second or two. The story is much more interesting than nit-picking for minor grammar errors. This story of a haunting isn't anything new.....spirits wanting closure or justice is a pretty standard haunting theme. But, the story is well-written and suspenseful, building to an awesome, exciting ending. The story kept my attention to the very end. So, it doesn't matter that it isn't a new spin on the ghost theme -- it's a well-told story that has me wanting to read more from this author. This prequel to the Rachel Harroway series is a quick read at 123 pages. There are two more books in the series.

J.S. Donovan also writes the kidnapped and EMP series.… (més)
