I liked this short adventure of magical twins, Theo and Remy Haward, detectives investigating murders related to a missing Ouija board. They don't like ghosts and devil dolls any more than I do. They have a good relationship, and in a crunch, the younger twin naturally defers to the older. I'm aware of one word that was spelled correctly but in the wrong context: indigent when indignant was meant. Fortunately, there are other Haward short stories that Sophie is kindly offering for free.

Dutch Hutcinson has been so lonely since his death in 1890 and is desperate to end his misery. Jade Clarence is an exorcist looking to prove to her brothers that she can do her job without her bleeding heart in the way. Dutch is a ghost that can take a corporeal form places a call to get himself exorcised Jade accepts the job and goes to the campsite where the ghost that haunts is but the only thing that is haunting are the fireworks that these two feel from the second they meet. I hate short stories it always lives me feeling like something is missing and the author just ran out out of ideas but Not with this one. The plot is riveting, the characters are well developed with some edgy twists and of course a semi villain. All wrapped up in this itty bitty story. Kudos to the author.

This would be a nice short story for a young teenager.  It was "free" to me or I would have rated it 2.

This novel is short and sweet and spooky.  Different point of views ties  these soon to be zombies together showing a glimpse of who they use to be.

This book was an easy read.  Simone is a special teenager in that she sees ghosts, but she does her best to 'fit in' to the normal life while being somewhat of an outcast.  Loved the way it was written and enjoyed the story line.

This is a short story that takes me back to my past in Ohio. Not that I heard anything quite as detailed as the narrator is relating, but similar in tone... It seems that all small towns have their "cemetery" ghost stories and widows tales designed to intrigue, frighten and encourage gossip and speculation. It was a form of entertainment long before TV came along.

The narrator is a woman who was a teen in the fifties when her family lived across the street from a seamstress named Mrs. Hill. As an adult now, she tells the story of Mrs. Hill: "a perpetual widow who buried five husbands within twelve years. Her marriages were so brief that the friends and neighbors never bothered to learn the true name of the new spouse; therefore, all of Mrs. Hill's husbands were identified as Mr. Hill. She had the sympathy of all her neighbors - all but one."

It so happens that when the teen girl sees the fifth husband being placed in the ambulance, she starts thinking back. On a rare occasion when she's in their home, she remembers the latest Mr. Hill complaining about the lemonade "tasting funny" and other clues. But it isn't until Mrs. Hill finally passes on and her great-grandson inherits the house that she comes to the conclusion that perhaps the "poor, grieving widow" had somehow killed her many husbands and gotten away with it.

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Mrs-and-Mr-Hill/dp/B006NAXSM8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Mrs. and Mr. Hill</a>&nbsp;is an intriguing story that doesn't reach any positive conclusions, but makes one wonder what really happened back then in the fifties when, as the narrator says "Let the Blacks kill themselves seemed to be the consensus of opinion of the police department." Thus, they never investigate Mrs. Hill.

No one knows that Mrs. Hill has a daughter and granddaughter, so what happens when they suddenly show up? And why do she and the daughter fight all the time? What does the teen narrator hear the daughter scream at her mother just before stomping away? How does that fit into the girl's speculation? And what does she learn from the great-grandson years later when he visits the house he inherits?

Kudos to author Elaine T. Jones for answering those questions and many more. She's a rare gem who manages to tell a story that makes one feel they're sitting beside her, listening raptly to every word, reminiscent of the greatest storytellers of ages past.

The book had a lot of potential. Very easy read. I think that a few things should have come to a close, but was left a little too vague. I think this book would be very suitable for a pre-teen/young adult reader who likes ghost stories with a mix of history.

this short 'book' (more of a novella or long short story) was well-written, and paints a depressing vignette of drug abuse, mental health issues, and madness run amuk; there seemed to be some assumptions made on reader familiarity of Inspector Sejer, as his character appears ghostly and undeveloped in this short tome - i would have liked a bit more background on the 'why'

in all, this was a very quick read, but not enthralling - i'm not sure i'd enjoy other titles in this series

I enjoyed this book.  A bit of light ghost humor, nothing too heavy or scary.  A bit of romance also, but it's not the main theme.  Perfect for a light beach read.  I plan on reading the other books in this series as well.

I wish there would have been more! This was a good short story. It was scary but not in a spooky way.

Wow, even though this was not like the usual Hauntings I've read about this family went through some very terrifying experiences. My heart broke for their losing a friend after visiting there home and then losing family members,most of all their baby. This was a short story but I don't think I would have wanted to read much more if they would have continued to live there much longer. I think they were better off having to move.

Spirits of Bourbon Street is a short story in the Jade Calhoun series.  It's a very short, very quick read, but entertaining.  I think this book is more important to read because of the Pyper Rayne series than the Jade series.  It explains how Pyper and Julius meet (they are the stars of the Pyper Rayne series).  Both book series are good and should be read if you enjoy paranormal stories.  Spirits of Bourbon Street is a fun read for Halloween!

Started reading this over on NoSleep. Saw that it was available here and had to come get it. Yes, it is very short, and yes, it is very creepy. The author's writing makes you feel like you are watching the events first-hand, and you can't help but feel sadness for the little girls, and their teacher. The only thing I can really say about this, is that I wish it was much longer. Hopefully the next stories will be!

Was not expecting such a short short story. That being said, it was a quick read and not too bad. Thanks to the author for letting the imgur community review the story. I did like the "science" behind the memory deletion. It was pretty cool. Very descriptive, yet simple execution.

Well Done!
