About this ebook

Keith Lafleur, Louisiana's largest and greediest building contractor, thinks he's cut the deal of a lifetime. The huge old, two-story, clapboard house is his for the taking as long as he can move it to a new location. It's too big to move as it is, but Lafleur's solution is simple: divide it in half. He has no idea, though, that by splitting the house he'll be dividing a family-one long dead.

    This is not a genre I'd normally read.
    My favorite character was Tawana. There are lots of twists and it is gross in parts.

    Matt Daigle buys a house and turns it into a cafe where the locals flock to eat home-cooked meals. He and his young son, Seth, live on the second floor of the cafe.

    Laura and Tawana purchase a house, two houses down from the cafe, and turn it into a beauty shop. They both live on the second floor, along with Tawana's special-needs cousin, Angelica.

    Strange events start to occur. And Matt, Laura and Tawana discover that the two houses have a history together, a horrible, frightenly violent history. They will have to fight for their very lives and depend on Angelica to draw their future.

    There were parts of this book that had me laughing out loud and other parts that shocked me. It's not "scary" but it there are some graphic parts.

    This is a fine example of the Cajun patois...the author captures the Lousiana flavor well. Not too complicated a plot and easy to follow. I recommend it to anyone who needs a happy ending to his or her ghost story.

    This was a great book that I couldn't put down until I was done! A ghost story with some great unexpected twists. A family dies in a house that is later moved, divided into two units and leased to two businesses. The family that lived there are still there.........only they are divided too and the mother wont rest until her family is reunitied. Freaky! and absolutely wonderful!
