Tradd Street, Book 3

By: Karen White

Narrated by: Aimée Bruneau

Charleston psychic Melanie Middleton discovers the past isn't finished revealing unsettling secrets in the third novel in the New York Times best-selling Tradd Street series.

With her relationship with writer Jack Treholm as shaky as the foundation of her family home, Melanie’s juggling a number of problems. Like restoring her Tradd Street house...and resisting her mother’s pressure to "go public" with her talent - a sixth sense that unites them to the lost souls of the dead. But Melanie never anticipated her new problem.

Her name is Nola, Jack’s estranged young daughter who appears on their doorstep, damaged, lonely and defiantly immune to her father’s attempts to reconnect. Melanie understands the emotional chasm all too well. As a special, bonding gift Jack’s mother buys Nola an antique dollhouse - a precious tableaux of a perfect Victorian family. Melanie hopes the gift will help thaw Nola’s reserve and draw her into the family she’s never known.

At first, Nola is charmed, and Melanie is delighted - until night falls, and the most unnerving shadows are cast within its miniature rooms. By the time Melanie senses a malevolent presence she fears it may already be too late. A new family has accepted her unwitting invitation to move in - with their own secrets, their own personal demons, and a past that’s drawing Nola into their own inescapable darkness...

This is my second time reading it. It’s even better this time! The narrator is talented, and the story line had me wanting to listen more. I don’t want to give away too much, but the books get even better :)

This has been an enjoyable series. I must admit the romantic miscommunication and drama between the protagonists can be a bit tedious, but really enjoy the rest of it

Surprising way to end a book

I stayed up late hear the ending. I was smiling as my anticipation grew to hear what would be said between characters. I have not encountered an abrupt ending since my youth. I heard the words but I thought maybe I was missing something. It wasn’t until the Audible announcement came on that I realized what a cliff hanger and an incredibly smart way to end a book. I immediately went to find the next book so I can find out what happens with Millie.

love the cliff hanger

I loved everything about this story and how they continue to build with each book in the series.
