Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor

Product Information

The story is fast paced and moves from scene to scene, no long narration where nothing is happening. but every time I thought I knew what to expect next, everything shifted again in an entertaining way. She loses her parents to murder and she spends the story trying to come to terms with that, learning to live alone in a world without her family. Following his viral popularity, Warner is scheduling additional book signings in the Dallas area to meet the popular demand for his book.

I had many other books to get through before this one, yet I started the book right away and on my, this book is brilliant. I am not usually a reader of ‘ghost’ novels, but Bodie and Little Bodie (the mansion’s resident ghosts) were both interesting and contributed to the story. I also learned from videos that it was kid friendly, so I've been reading it aloud to my oldest (who is almost 10). By popular demand, Warner’s publisher is now working to release both hardcover and audiobook versions of the novel. given the Scooby Doo trope, the characters could have easily avoided the whole ending had the multi-million dollar business tycoon asked himself “does this situation make logical sense?

College wasn’t out of the question any longer and after my discharge I earned a psychology degree, a master’s degree in social work, and worked in pediatric mental health for roughly ten years," he said. It wasn't well written, didn't feel like a ghost story (or a murder mystery for that matter), has some creepy undertones, and just didn't sit well with me. I heard about this book on social media and saw the fabulous reviews so I thought I'd give it a read. When the police tell her they have no leads in the case, she decides to take matters into her own hands, turning to a ghostly friend for help.

It doesn't matter if you're into Stephen King, Octavia Butler, Jack Ketchum or Shirley Jackson, this is the place to share that love and discuss to your heart's content. From first glance the cover was a little misleading, I see a woman with curves leaning over a bike - that was one of the biggest issues for me while reading this book. It’s about a teenage girl who teams up with a ghost with multiple personalities to solve the mystery of her parents murder," Warner said of the book on the now viral TikTok video. Shawn Warner was promoting his debut book at a Kroger in north Fort Worth when a TikToker, Jerrad “Red” Swearengin, stopped to make conversation. I had to show support as a fellow book lover and avid reader, I loved the traction and the love the book community, as well as the world was showing Shawn.The name and way the character "Nacho" is written is strange and feels like an insensitive and unnecessary depiction. Overall, I was excited at face value to read the book and support the author, but I think it's important that I put this out there even among the glowing reviews for this book. TikTok has a way of being a driving force behind these grassroots movements,” said Lewis Parry, marketing director of Interabang Books in Dallas.

There is some mild language, in case that bothers anyone with young listening ears (I substituted some words). Ty, Leigh's father's friend, describes being disappointed in Leigh and having the urge to "put her over his knee and spank her" which again I think was weird, unnecessary, and added nothing to the plot. Navigating through everything wasn’t so lonely thanks to two or should I say multiple people lol one of them being her cousin Myra who was the sweetest. In the past, I have been a paratrooper (82nd Airborne Division), a therapist working with children (Master of Science, Social Work), and an engineer (Bachelor of Science, Computer Science and Engineering). A 19 yo girl decides to go skinny dipping in front of 16 yo main character regardless of MC’s comfort level.Both were essential to Leigh’s well-being and growth besides helping her get to the bottom of it all. I really wanted to love this book, I really did love little Bodie and even eventually big Bodie, It had a really good plot line. Most issues could be solved with better editing, the rest could be solved by aging the MC up a mere few years.
