Spooked

De: Ruby Madden

Narrado por: Clay Lomakayu

Clementine, an in-demand sketch artist who needs an escape from her hectic, stressful, and busy city life, decides to take a much-needed one-year sabbatical. She welcomes the chance to move to a small town in the South and inhabit the old, Victorian mansion that, upon her aunt's recent passing, was willed to her.

Upon arriving Clementine meets Gabe, a kindly, considerate, and sexy jack-of-all-trades who helped her aunt while she was alive with the house, doing maintenance, repairs, and property upkeep.

They are instantly drawn to one another, and Clementine wonders if he likes curvy women such as herself while worrying what he might think if he knows she's what's known as a white witch. - a benevolent practitioner of the elements, magic, and energy.

Meanwhile Gabe wonders if Clementine will figure out that he's not exactly mortal or living. That he is in fact a spook. A ghost.

Ultimately they will discover a hidden mystery about their unique connection, crossing time and space to reveal the truth: their enduring love.

okay story

narration was same voice throughout the book. No differentiation between men's and women's voices. story was okay but could have been a lot better. it felt like someone's very first attempt at writing a story and there were things that could have been addressed better if the story were longer. The story left me feeling as if it should have been a full novel but was revised to be a short story instead.

Odd but fun romantic ghost story!

Lots of odd things about this book such as descriptions of the main character using the bathroom in detail, which added squat (hehe) to the storyline. Not only was the narrator hard to understand, but every character sounded exactly the same. He also lost his place several times during his reading & repeated the same sentence! However, I do LOVE a ghost story, so I persevered through the amateur writing & narration. Really, though, how I can complain? The book was free. I enjoyed all the characters. It entertained me & oddly, I didn’t want it to end when it did! I was left wanting more of their slightly erotic love story. Actually, that was the best part of this short novel. Will there be a sequel? I would buy it.

A good love story for the season

If you could sum up Spooked in three words, what would they be?

Tender love story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Clementine--she is successful and still is taking a year off because she can afford to regroup. She tries to blend in with the town and finds herself a friends who disappears but where? She does family research and in the end shows how we have grown and improved although we still have a way to go.

What aspect of Clay Lomakayu’s performance would you have changed?

There was not differentiating the voices of the characters. I liked his southern accent but it was more like he was reading a story rather than acting one out.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When they came together after finding out the truth.

Any additional comments?

I was provided a Free audio from the author and appreciate the story line a lot.

It’s the Haunted Mansion in Story Form

A story of reincarnation and lovers lost to time it was okay but I was distracted by the narrators bayou accent.

just ok

The story is pretty short. Clay Lomakayu does a pretty good job with the narration. It is a ghost story. It just really didn't grab me and drag me in but it is an ok story.
