Ghost House

Soul Mate, Book 1

De: Richard Crawford

Narrado por: Joel Froomkin

Tommy killed his best friend. He doesn't know what it will take to make amends, but he has to try.

Everyone believes Tommy's best friend, Danny, died in a terrible accident. Only Tommy knows that it wasn't an accident at all. He made a drunken mistake he can never take back. And now he's haunted, literally. Ghosts use his body to complete their unfinished business, anything from visiting loved ones to threatening old business partners. Tommy's not sure whether to view it as payback or a chance to make amends for Danny.

It sounds nuts, and sometimes Tommy is not sure if he is nuts. It doesn't seem to matter much until he meets Suki.

When a friend is stabbed in a ghost-related brawl, Tommy hits rock bottom. It's time to come clean, but things get more complicated when he finds out Suki has secrets and a psychic dragon for a mother. Soon Tommy is caught up in their past as he plays host to a man wrongly convicted of a child's murder, a violent man who has a score to settle with Suki and her mother, and no intention of giving up Tommy's body. To have any chance of happy ever after, Tommy must prevent the ghost using his body to hurt the ones he loves, and solve a 12- year-old murder.

Melancholy Ghost Story

Any additional comments?

Our main character is very melancholy and the narrator hits on this this very well. Story does start out slow as many others have mentioned. Although slow, the main character is so flawed and in such dire straits, it's very hard to not like him all the way through. Great narration, always love hearing the UK accents and slang.

Fresh ghost story!

Ghost House
(Soul Mate #1)
by Richard Crawford
This is a terrific ghost story where our guy of the story gets possessed by ghosts (1 or 2) and he is at the mercy of what they want to do. Having friends, jobs, or any kind of life is nearly impossible! This is his story and it is exciting and terrifying but even some of the ghosts you find have a sad story. Excellent!
Great narration by Joel Froomkin.

Good story, but slow build

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Overall the story was intriguing. The build up of the story was slow and long, covering about 2/3 of the book before the real story kicked in. It left questions about some of the characters motivations, especially Jess, Suki's mother and even the ghost of Danny.

Would you be willing to try another book from Richard Crawford? Why or why not?

Yes, despite the slow build in this one, it left me intrigued enough to read the next two in the series. I am hoping that now that things have been established, the next books will be faster paced and get to the main story sooner.

What about Joel Froomkin’s performance did you like?

Joel is a master of voice disguise! He can do just about any accent and voices, including female and still keep them all differentiated so that you are never wondering who is talking.

Any additional comments?

Overall, the writing was decent, and I can understand the slow build. Planning to read the next ones shortly.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Amazing story telling and brilliant narration

What did you love best about Ghost House?

Everything. A wonderful heart wrenching story as Tommy goes through life invaded by ghosts with unfinished business. The whole gambit of emotions are run through as the story progresses. And Suki, don't miss her. I loved everything about the book and have to know more! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Delicious Tale...makes you want more...NOW

What did you like best about this story?

Mr. Crawford writes an amazing story. It has everything...mystery, romance, drama, humor. I really feel for the main character Tommy.

Have you listened to any of Joel Froomkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I must admit, I am a fan of Mr. Froomkin. His voice acting performance is brilliant. He truly knows how to make the characters come to life. Mr. Froomkin does not have any difficulty moving from male to female voices. His style is smooth and delicious. (Told you I was a fan)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes. I want more! Mr. Crawford has drawn me in and I want to know what happens next! I loved how I found myself rooting for Tommy. Feeling sad or angry at the situations the ghosts put him in. I also enjoyed the author's sense of humor.
