Guests on South Battery
Guests on South Battery | Karen White
17 posts | 30 read | 19 to read
"New York Times" bestselling author Karen White invites you to explore the brick-walked streets of Charleston, where historic mansions house the memories of years gone by, and restless spirits refuse to fade away... With her extended maternity leave at its end, Melanie Trenholm is less than thrilled to leave her new husband and beautiful twins to return to work, especially when she s awoken by a phone call with no voice on the other end and the uneasy feeling that the ghostly apparitions that have stayed silent for more than a year are about to invade her life once more. But her return to the realty office goes better than she could have hoped, with a new client eager to sell the home she recently inherited on South Battery. Most would treasure living in one of the grandest old homes in the famous historic district of Charleston, but Jayne Smith would rather sell hers as soon as possible, guaranteeing Melanie a quick commission. Despite her stroke of luck, Melanie can t deny that spirits both malevolent and benign have started to show themselves to her again. One is shrouded from sight, but appears whenever Jayne is near. Another arrives when an old cistern is discovered in Melanie s backyard on Tradd Street. Melanie knows nothing good can come from unearthing the past. But some secrets refuse to stay buried...."

It would be cool if more books would provide family trees.

To prevent spoilers, they could have a flip down family tree that would add people as you read on; or would have family trees throughout the book that would add people as their relationship is revealed.

Hmm 🤔 🗺️ 🌳

Aims42 I second this request 🙋‍♀️ Several handwritten sticky notes help, but when books have family trees already included - that‘s the BEST!!! 2y
tpixie @Aims42 yes!! I make my own family tree when needed but it tends to be sloppy and I haven‘t left space in places that end up needing spaces! 😅😂🤪 2y
Aims42 @tpixie Haha! Mine end up very sloppy as well with lots of arrows going every direction because I also didn‘t leave enough space 🤣🤣🤣 2y

Another fun book from Karen White! I've already read the last one in the series, so now the wait begins....

Reecaspieces Love this author 4y
JoScho Is this set in Charleston? 4y
lahousewyfe @JoScho Yes. I've never been there and it makes me want to visit and see the history! 4y
JoScho I lived in Charleston for 19 years. Just moved back home last summer. It is truly a beautiful place and makes a wonderful getaway. 4y

The ending hints at another book! 🤩🤩 I can‘t wait!

GypsyKat This sounds interesting! 6y
Literary_Siren @GypsyKat it‘s definitely a series worth reading! It usually takes me a day or two to read one of the books and they are all over 300 pages. Super quick, fun reads. There is a bit of drama and I‘m feeling a little drained from it. That‘s why the next book I‘m picking up is in the horror/thriller genre. All action and no thinking necessary! 6y
GypsyKat @Literary_Siren I get a bit drained from too much drama too. That‘s why I sprinkle my reading list liberally with fluff. 👍 6y

1. At home, in bed
2. The tagged book (almost finished)
3. If I don‘t already have something in mind, I‘ll peruse my bookshelves or kindle until I find something that catches my eye.

SilversReviews Thanks for playing. Good way of choosing. 6y

Not the best of the series but a fun, well written interlude for me between some tougher books. On paper this series is everything I don‘t like - painfully unaware female protagonist, slightly obnoxious romantic lead and ghosts but somehow they all sort of work. May be because I so loved a trip to Charleston and the books are a total celebration of the city but regardless a pick for me! (Photo one of mine from Charleston not the one in the book!)

I enjoyed this. It wasn't the best book on this series, but it was fun. I had everything figured out pretty early on and kept wondering why everyone else was being so daft. Also, this means I am up-to-date on this series! Now I only need to catch up on about a million more series.
