Publisher Description
Acclaimed author Karen White returns to Charleston, South Carolina, with the second novel in the New York Times bestselling Tradd Street series.
Melanie Middleton has grown accustomed to renovating old houses, but she never imagined she'd have to renovate her own life to include her estranged mother. Ginnette Prioleau Middleton left Charleston thirty-five years ago. She's returned wanting to protect the daughter she's never really known after receiving an ominous premonition.
Melanie never wanted to see her mother again, but with some prodding from her partner, Jack Trenholm, she agrees—and begins to rebuild their relationship. Together Melanie and Ginnette buy back their old home. With their combined psychic abilities they expect to unearth some ghosts. But what they find is a vengeful dark spirit whose strength has been growing for decades. It will take unearthing long buried secrets to beat this demon and save what's left of Melanie's family...

"I loved this novel. Mellie's relationship with her mother is evolving and the ghost story is captivating, her romance with Jack seems in peril; One must read on. Will she and Jack become a couple? I highly recommend the two first books and I"m ordering the third book, Stranger on Montagu Street tonight."

— Paige, 2/20/2014 -
" Great example of Karen White's Southern Women's fiction! Settings and characters and a story that all draw you in and keep you reading! this book made me feel right at home, being from the South myself. I did have to read it during the daytime, because of the ghosts... A great Southern story!! "
— Marina, 2/12/2014 -
" Can't decide if I liked it better than the first, considering I have been awaiting the sequel for ages. I wouldnt say it was bad, but I pretty much had it figured out within 100 pages. Also this whole non romance between Jack and Melanie drive me crazy! Just get them together already. "

" Entertaining in my loser kind of way. "
— Loren, 7/6/2012 -
" The ghost story in this novel (the second in the series) is powerful and just scary enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. Wish I could say that the heroine improved upon this second acquaintance, but I still found myself more than mildly annoyed at her antics. "

— Erin, 12/18/2011 -
" Not quite as good as the first book because it was a little harder to follow, but still definitely great! It left the door wide open for another book in the series, so I hope that White will continue to write about Melanie, Jack, and this book's other great characters! "

" I liked this follow up to "The House on Tradd Street" "
— Barbara, 1/11/2011 -
" Great follow-up to <em>The House on Tradd Street</em>. Christmas really isn't when you'd usually read a book about malignant spirits that try to kill people, and yet that's exactly what I did. "
— Leilani, 12/27/2010 -
" The last of this series was another terrific story by Karen White. "
— Lyn, 12/22/2010 -

— Jennifer, 12/14/2010 -
" And a half. This one was a little bit harder to follow than Tradd Street, but still just as suspensful and easy to read. However, I did not like the ending, but I'm assuming she must have another sequel in the works. "
— Krissi, 12/7/2010 -
" The ending was a little over the top but an interesting read. "
— Debra, 11/8/2010 -
