Description

Apple cider, bonfires, football, and—ghosts.
It’s homecoming weekend in Sugarland, Tennessee, and ghost hunter Verity Long is tickled to see so many souls—living and dead—back in town to celebrate. But not all reunions are happy ones, and when Verity stumbles upon a dead body by the football field, it appears someone has already evened the score.
With her long-lost mother in tow and her ghostly sidekick Frankie showing her startling glimpses of a time long past, Verity untangles the secrets and scandal behind her town’s favorite traditions. Even more shocking? The murderer is tracking her. And before she can discover the final truth that leads her to a cold-blooded killer, she may just be the one who loses the game.

    I have enjoyed all of the southern spirits books. I think they would make a great mini series on tv, dvd or Netflix

    I like this series and this book was good. I loved getting to see Verity interacting with her mom and step-dad. The family dynamics between them as well as her sister were easily relatable. The mystery was good though I wondered early if I knew who the bad guy was and I was right. Frankie has some major character development and Molly may have had the most! She blew my mind in this book! Living in a small town, I could totally relate to how a town gets involved in the Homecoming madness. Thank you to Angie Fox, NetGalley, and Moose Island Books for giving me the chance to read this story and share my honest thoughts and opinions with others.

    Now I have to wait until May 22 for the next book. Crying. The characters are fantastic and round. The stories are exactly what I could imagine in my own little Southern town. Suspense, mystery, love, friendship…all wrapped into a cute series. I hope it never ends. HBO needs to snag this series for tv.
  • Mystery at Homecoming

    Verity and Frankie are back sharing an exciting adventure that occurs during a small town tradition. This book was a new direction in the series for the author. It had a few directional plots that emphasized relationships between people. It was interesting to see Verity’s mom introduced to the reader as a secondary character after only being mentioned in passing in other books. Additionally, further depth is added to Frankie and Molly. High school renovation leads to the digging up of time capsule projects from graduating classes during this year’s Homecoming Week. Scores of former graduates including Verity’s mom gather for the celebration providing more suspects for Verity’s murder investigation. The plot twists and quirky characters let the reader enjoy how Verity investigates without letting people know she is speaking with ghosts in the middle of the Homecoming crowds. I laughed aloud at the dialogue and the coverups that prevented ordinary people from realizing that ghosts were all around them. The plot was complex and I was kept guessing concerning the actual murderer until the revelation in the final chapter. I really enjoyed this book. I received an ARC for review. I would highly recommend this book.
  • One of my favorite reads in this series!

    It's Homecoming time in Sugarland! During the celebration the town will also be opening a time capsule earlier than planned due to expansion to the football field area. Verity's mom, Tilly, and her stepdad are in town for the event. Tilly even brought a cute outfit for Verity's pet skunk Lucy to wear to homecoming! Unfortunately once the time capsule is open Verity is busy helping her boyfriend Ellis solve an old murder mystery with her ghostly partner Frankie and the "help" of Verity's mom. This was a fun read and one of my favorites in this series. It was nice finally being introduced to Verity's mother and stepdad. I hope to see them in future books. The homecoming events were fun. I like the relationship between Frankie and Molly. They're a cute couple!
  • Great cozy murder mystery with just the right amount of romance…

    Angie Fox adds another hit to the growing list of fantastic books. This was such a great cozy murder mystery with just the right amount of romance. I'm glad to see that Verity and Elis are doing great and that the series is not dependent on their relationship. And as much as I liked seeing Verity take on Ellis' mother, Virginia, and become friendly again with Beau, Ellis' brother and ex-fiancé, in past books, I really enjoyed that they were absent from this book. I'm glad we got to meet Melody and Verity's mother, Tilly, especially since this book revolved around the death of Tilly's friend Ashley. Lucy of course was as cute as ever! (Don't you ever scare me like that again! You will know what I mean when you read this one.) Frankie is of course Frankie. Unfortunately not a lot of progress has been made with releasing Frankie from his urn prison, but we wouldn't have all this craziness if they did. Highly recommended!
