The Haunting of Mercer House: A Halloween Haunting

By: Carrie Bates

Narrated by: Sean Duregger

The Mercer house is the perfect place for Chef Lindsey's restaurant - or so Lindsey thinks. The house's horrific past would make anyone run, but Lindsey is not aware of the gruesome events that occurred there on Halloween many years ago.

Lindsey's dreams soon turn into nightmares as strange sounds are heard, cigar smoke makes her choke, and apparitions of a ghastly man and weeping woman appear, threatening her.

And when Halloween approaches, Lindsey knows she must fight for what is hers or lose the Mercer house, and her dreams, forever. Can Lindsey take back what is hers before she loses everything - even her life?

Really enjoyed this quick tale!

The Haunting of Mercer House: A Halloween Haunting by Carrie Bates has everything that I could want in a short story. The plot was well thought out and I didn't want the story to end. Truly, Ms. Bates could have made this a longer story, but it was a solid listen just as it was. I don't want to give away any of the story, but when Lindsey purchases Mercer House from the bank to turn into a restaurant, she has no idea what she's in for. She quickly learns about the houses history and some of the atrocities that happened in the past. A really enjoyable, quick listen!

Sean Duregger did a good job narrating this tale. He did a great job bringing the characters to life and it was really easy to get lost in the story. I'll definitely listen to more of his performances in the future. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.

Revenge out of control

I love a good haunted house story and I have to say that Carrie Bates always offers me something interesting in her haunted homes. The backstory is always very tragic and makes you sympathetic to the plight of those caught within its walls. While the characters are good they are not totally fleshed out like I would like them to be, but that is of course just my preference. The description of the town both in the past and present is a little thin but adequate for the amount of time spent talking about it.

Mercer House is the perfect spot for Chef Lindsey to start her restaurant, or so she thinks. The house has a dark history that would cause anyone to take pause, if they knew about it. What happened on Halloween years ago has left a stain that may not go away. Lindsey's dream soon turns into a nightmare as strange things start to occur that not only affect her but her staff. And as Halloween approaches things only become worse and she must either fight or lose everything she has worked for.

This was entertaining and gave me a bit of a fright at the end, though I kind of saw it coming.

Very good

I found this audiobook to be very good. It is very suspenseful and eerie. The narrator does a wonderful job of voicing each character.

A Haunting

This is not her best ghost story but still a short quick listen with good narration. Lindsey plans on changing the Mercer House into a restaurant. She finds out it is haunted by Don, Jane as well as George her father and Tom, a cop, helps her out. The scariest part was the epilogue. and is ok for a quick Halloween story as well as younger crowd. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

Incomplete story

I wish I could give this a better rating because the narrator did a great job. The story was so incomplete with holes that it just didn't work. The end had a twist that didn't fit. The story has a good premise but it did not have a follow through. I received this audio book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
