The House on Prytania Street

Summary: A woman is haunted–both literally and figuratively–by ghosts of the past in this second novel of the Royal Street series by New York Times bestselling author Karen White.

Nola Trenholm may not be psychic herself, but she’s spent enough time around people who are to know when ghosts are present, and there are definitely a few lingering spirits in her recently purchased Creole cottage in New Orleans. Something, or someone, is keeping them tethered to this world. And not all of them are benign.

But with the sudden return of Sunny Ryan, Beau Ryan’s long-lost sister, Nola has plenty to distract her from her ghostly housemates. Especially when the tempting–yet firmly unavailable–Beau, wanting to mete out justice to those he blames for Sunny’s kidnapping, asks Nola for a favor that threatens to derail her hard-won recovery and send her hurtling backward. He asks her to welcome Michael Hebert back into her life, even though Michael is the reason for Nola’s bruised heart. Beau is convinced that Michael’s powerful family was behind Sunny’s disappearance and that Michael is the key to getting information the police won’t be able to ignore–if Nola is willing to risk everything for which she’s worked so hard.

Torn between helping Beau and protecting herself, Nola doesn’t realize until it’s almost too late why the ghosts are haunting her house–a startling revelation that will throw her and Beau together to fight a common enemy. Assuming Nola can get Beau to listen to what the spirits are trying to tell him, because ignoring them could prove to be a fatal mistake…

 

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

This is the second book in the Royal Street series and I enjoyed it much like I did The Shop on Royal Street.

I adore New Orleans and with New Orleans being a very active character in this series, it just made me grin.

What I liked:

The cover! Yes, please!

The tension between Nola & Beau. While their back and forth reminds me a teensy bit of Jack & Melanie (but not as infuriating), I like it and can’t wait to see where future books will lead.

Still loving Jolene.

And it was nice to have Melanie and Jack and the kiddos in this book, as well.

 

Bottom line: It was an enjoyable way to spend a few days! Hoping we will hear about a 3rd book soon!
