Publisher's summary

Welcome to Spite House.

There's an island up in Gold Country at the northern end of Snapdragon Lake. It's named Manchester for the family that owns it, but the locals call it Spite Island. There's a single lonely mansion on that island and a group of authors have been invited to write about its ghosts and its mysteries. But the real mystery is, who will survive this luxurious but deadly retreat?

A Cursed House

Not long after the Civil War, Ruthia and Solomon Manchester bought a lonely island in northern California where they built a magnificent home and a resort that became a renowned Gilded Age getaway.

But the locals shunned the place, calling it Spite Island. They said it was cursed.

Today, only Agnes Manchester and her companion occupy the property. Having fallen on hard times, Agnes has agreed to reopen the resort on the condition that she and her ancestral ghosts are undisturbed in their private home.

Before renovations begin, she invites a group of authors to stay in the house and write about its history.

As the guests explore the secrets of the mansion, they never suspect what awaits them in the shifting shadows.

Spite House has deadly plans of its own....

Spite House

I really liked most of this book. There was so much going on with the ghosts and authors.The mix of personalities was good. Narration by Jamison Walker was really good.It felt a bit lackluster at the end. was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Interesting Mystery/Horror Story

First this book does not end, but is a Cliffhanger which is not nice because 2nd book not even out.
The characters in this Story are of two different types, Ones you absolutely can not stand and the ones you really like. Example: The Professor is a crud, obnoxious, pig of a man with very vulgar put downs about women. Narrator does a Excellent job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Wasn't thrilled

I guess I should have read all the reviews . I didn't know this story doesn't end! I kept waiting for something to happen but all there was was alittle romance, ALOT of story telling and a few dumb ghost sightings. I kept waiting to find out who was in a certain room in the house...spoiler alert....you don't find out in this book. Gonna see if I can return it.
