Alicia, (Ally), evidently hadn't read many haunted house books or she was just naive or plain stupid. Deciding that she needed a change in her life she goes on the internet and buys a cottage on the ocean in Massachusetts...sight unseen. It's an early 1800's house, but it has rarely been occupied since being first built. Now wouldn't you wonder why few people have lived in it in over 200 years??? Maybe because it's HAUNTED!!! Just ask anyone in the small town and they'll tell you the folklore of what supposedly happened all those years ago....and they didn't hesitate to tell our girl, Ally. Did she believe them??? Of course not. Oh, she believes there is something in the house besides herself but... ready for this? The ghosts just want her to help them solve a mystery...about what really happened to the original owners. The story wasn't scary in the least and "The Ghost Story Junkie" wants a bit more than ghosts waiting around 200 years for the internet to be invented so some woman can buy their house and help them solve a 200-year-old mystery. It got 3 stars because it's not at all a bad story, but for a real haunted house, ghost loving enthusiast, the scariest part of the book would be the cover. ( )
