Overview
People and secrets from the past threaten to disrupt Nola Trenholm’s new life in New Orleans in the third novel of the Royal Street series by New York Times bestselling author Karen White.
Nola is ready to focus on starting over in the Big Easy. She wants to get back to work on the renovations of her Creole cottage, and she is eager to launch a new murder-house-flipping business with contractor, closet psychic, and part-time nemesis Beau Ryan. After a near-death ghostly encounter and the return of Beau’s missing sister, they are confident that the ghost of his mother can finally rest.
Nola believes the shotgun house on famed Esplanade Avenue is a prime fixer-upper for her first project. It may have been the site of a woman’s murder and the disappearance of an entire family, but the house will be perfect for new-to-town Cooper Ravenel—who happens to have caused Nola’s first heartbreak.
That’s the least of Nola’s worries, though. In addition to the elusive spirit of an angry young woman who accompanied Cooper to New Orleans, the house on Esplanade has its own ghosts, including one that is becoming increasingly dangerous as he tries to hide his dark secrets. And the wet footprints from the spirit of Beau’s mother have returned to let them know there is still unfinished business before she can rest. Spectral danger is headed toward them, and it’s up to Nola to convince Beau to help before it’s too late. .

Let me start off with this is book 3 in The Royal Street series. This is a stand alone book. But, for fun, I would read the others too 😜.
I will say, this story is a bit wordy in places. It probably could have been several pages shorter. But, I will also say…I enjoyed it! I mean, it has a ghost or two or three…and not all are nice!! It also has a creepy doll that keeps reappearing when it shouldn’t. What is not to love?! Add in the great city of New Orleans with its mystical history and you have a very good book to keep you up at night.
Need a ghostly tale set in the great town of New Orleans…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
