The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James narrated by,
Pamela Garelick
Full disclosure: I received this audiobook from the Audiobookjukebox
and Blackstone Audio for a fair and honest review.
Unabridged- 10 Hours
This is a straight up ghost story, with gothic undertones.
Sarah Piper gets a job through a temp agency working for a
ghost hunter; Sarah is broke so she takes the job even though she’s not sure
what kind of oddities she will run into. Soon Sarah is flung into a situation
that was not covered on her resume; she ends up being the only person that can actually
see the ghost of Maddy Clare not just feel her presence as others have said
they do, but Maddy not only allows Sarah to see her she also gives her visions
of what happened her and why she hates men and is seeking revenge. Once I knew
Maddy’s story I was all for rooting for the ghost!
Of course, there had to be a romance angle, which I didn’t
think added much to the book, maybe that’s because I wasn’t too impressed with
Matthew and thought he was kind of a jerk. I wish this storyline hadn’t even
been in there.
Even though what happened to Maddy is pretty easy to figure
out and who the culprits were was pretty plain, I still liked this story
because Maddy had some serious ghost skills, she could make people believe they
were walking in her shoes, or send someone inside their minds to fight with
their own demons, she could kill and maim, and burn stuff down she is pretty
bad ass.
Pamela Garelick was a new to me narrator and I thought she
did a good job, there was distinct differences in each character so you always
knew who was talking. She has a husky English accent that I enjoyed listening
to and I would look for other books she narrated.
If you enjoy a good ghost story I would give this book a
try!
3 ½ stars
