The Haunting Of Willow Tree Court

The Haunting Of Willow Tree Court by Jennifer Adele, 378 pages


Sally has been struggling with both the physical effects of the car accident that left her body partially broken but also the emotional devastation of losing her three year old daughter in the same accident.  Her husband, Brian, also grieving, but hoping to start fresh, bought a new house and made plans to move.  Although Sally is upset at first, she loves the new house and recognizes that Brian’s intentions are good and that the move might be a good thing.  However, once they move, strange things start to happen.  Both of them have seen their daughter and items that they know they no longer own show up in their house, such as Sally’s wheelchair and a card that Brian gave a mistress.  Clearly, the house, and possibly the entire neighborhood, is haunted.  Sally is very concerned about a neighbor, Annabelle, who appears to be dealing with a ghost of her own.  Unfortunately, her ghost is much more dangerous and vengeful than Sally’s and Brian’s ghosts and can Sally begin to help Annabelle without endangering the new life she has begun to build?  This is a pretty decent ghost story.  I felt like the writing had some issues and could have used a little bit more editing and tightening up of some of the plot but overall the story was good enough to mostly overlook the minor issues.  I think that people who enjoy ghost stories will like this.
