I found this short story on Amazon when the Kindle edition was free, so I just downloaded it on a whim. I finally read it today on my Kindle - it's a quick read, so it didn't take too much time from my other books. This is a short story about ghosts, old mansions and romance. I can't say I've ever really read a ghost story before, but I liked this one! This book didn't suck me in immediately, but once I was about halfway through, I was hooked. And the ending?! All I can say is "wow." I wasn't expecting that at all. It really makes me want to go back and reread the story since I'm sure I'll pick up on a few other things now! It also really makes me want to visit (or live in!) an old house like the one described so beautifully in this book. Pagesofcomfort.blogspot.com Sarah Ballance has a way with words. This story was incredible and from the first sentence I was hooked. Not only was the story descriptive, well thought out and detailed, but her characters were so real I felt I wasn't just reading, but right there with them living every scene.This was an amazing read and I couldn't step away until I'd finished the story to find out what happened to Noah and Emma Grace at Hawthorne manor. I loved the intrigue, romance, setting, characters, descriptions, mystery...I loved it all!Well done Sarah Ballance!
What do You think about Hawthorne (2014)?
Saying goodbye may be the most important thing we do. I really got blown away.
