Waiting on Wednesday {#56}: The Guests on South Battery by Karen White

“Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Okay, so I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the Tradd Street series. I loved this series when it first came out, then not so much in the middle, but I’m kind of eager to see what Melanie’s up to now that the twins are born and she sort of settling into her life as a mother. 

Title: The Guests on South Battery

Series: Tradd Street
Author: Karen White
Publisher: Berkley
Release Date: 1/3/2017

 

With her extended maternity leave at it's 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 over 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 it 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 appear to her again. One is shrouded from sight, appearing whenever Jayne is near. Another arrives when an old cistern is discovered in her backyard on Tradd Street.

 

 Melanie knows nothing good can come from unearthing the past. But some secrets refuse to stay buried...

 

   

What are you lovelies waiting on?
