About this listen
Love is a many splendored thing at lovely, abandoned Hillard House. Come in. Sit a spell. Chat with your hostess the long dead Mrs. Doris Marie Hillard. And take some time to kill your beloved. In fact, she insists on it.
Sixteen-year-old Mina Wright knew she shouldn’t have been in the car with her best friend Julie, Julie’s boyfriend Justin, and his blunt friend Adam late one fall night heading toward town haunted legend Hillard House. But Julie had insisted Mina go with them, so she went. By the end of the night, Julie was dead and Justin was charged with the murder.
Only her boyfriend didn’t do it. He was possessed by the black widow of Hillard House, Doris Marie Hillard, who fights boredom by possessing one person in love to kill the person he (or she) loves. It’s a fun game to her. A game that will cost more lives if she’s not stopped.
Mina learns that Julie’s ghost is stuck in the house and vows to get her out. After all, no one loves Mina. No one will be possessed to kill her in the house. Little does she know, when she steps inside with Adam her life is in serious danger.

Story
Willow was like any other teenage girl until a fatal car accident left her an orphan with the ability to see ghosts. Relocating to live with her grandparents, she hoped to lay low to survive the rest of high school and maybe figure out the whole "seeing the dead" thing. But with ghosts popping up in the middle of class, Willow was struggling to keep the gossip at bay. No one thinks you're normal when you get caught having a one-sided conversation alone.

Story
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Cherry blossom lipstick: check. Smokey eyes: check. Skinny jeans: check. Dead kid in the mirror: check. For 16-year-old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She’s been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak, too.

Dear Diary, oh, who am I kidding? Dear Life, you’re cruel. You’re heartless. You’re sick. You’re really damned twisted. Do you know that? Nope... Still doesn’t cut it. Dear Fate...yeah, that’s the one. Dear Fate, what the actual hell? What exactly did I do to deserve the life you paved for me? Did I bother you so? Was I awful? Did I not pray enough? You took my life into your hands, fate, and you twisted it. You turned it into a broken mess, and you made it ugly. You made me ugly. A life for a life. An eye for an eye. That’s how it goes, right? Her life. Now mine.

Once again, 17-year-old Riley Smith is the new kid in school and her dad's career has her back to being dubbed a freak. Truth is, she's a much bigger freak than her classmates think. The only company she keeps these days is the dead who follow Dad home from work. She can see them. She can speak to them.

Which is odd, because with the loss of her mother and her father's alcoholism, she's got enough problems of her own.

Hidden abilities, haunting memories, and one confused girl. I’m a reaper. Death should come naturally to me, but it doesn’t. And the abilities I am able to conjure are forbidden by my kind. My parents try to hide my abilities, but when the elders assign my first target, they order my parents to stay back. Now I’m on my own, with no one to protect me, no idea what I’m doing, and no control over the powers I’m supposed to keep hidden. I should have known this would blow up in my face.

Haunted House Happenings
When a group of teenage friends decide to visit the local haunted house, they have no idea what they will encounter. Mina Wright has heard rumors about the house, but she doesn't really believe them. However, by the end of the night, Mina's friend, Julie, is dead and her boyfriend, Justin, appears to be the killer.
Mina soon learns that Justin claims that "the devil made me do it" and others start to experience strange occurrences involving the house. It seems that the former mistress of the house, Dori Marie Hillard, is still in residence and manipulating others to commit horrible crimes.
This was a well-written book, full of creepy moments and tension. The narrator did a great job and added a lot to the book. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy a good haunted house story.
