Ameri-Scares Tennessee: Winter Haunting

By: Elizabeth Massie

Narrated by: Andrea Emmes

Melody Martin is thrilled to be back in Tennessee to spend a week with her best friend, Jamie Snavely, over the winter break. Melody’s family had moved to Florida, and though Melody loves her new state, she has missed her friend. Without Melody knowing it, however, Jamie has invited another girl, Gwen Jones, to join them for a sleepover. Melody never liked Gwen because the girl constantly brags and makes up wild stories that can’t be true, such as an encounter with the infamous Bell Witch spirit. To make things worse, a sudden blizzard knocks out all the power and phone service to the area. Wyatt Payne, a local teen, is caught out in the blizzard and breaks his ankle. He frantically hobbles through the storm to the Snavely farmhouse in hopes of getting help, all the while being tormented by terrible, unearthly laughter. Now, with Melody, Wyatt, Jamie, Gwen, and Jamie’s mother trapped in the dark, cold house, they learn that Gwen’s stories of the Bell Witch are not so wild after all. And the dreadful, invisible spirit has come there for a reason.

Each Ameri-Scares novel is based on or inspired by an historical event, folktale, legend, or myth unique to that particular state.

Great YA paranormal mystery

This was a great YA paranormal mystery. I'd rate it PG. There's 1 scene with a minor violence, no swearing, and no sex or sexual innuendos.

A Haunting for sure!

This is the first I've had the pleasure of listening/reading works by Elizabeth Massie. I loved it! I knew it was in the YA genre. I think this can be enjoyed by anyone really.

Underneath the ghost story is really the story of friendship. I enjoyed seeing this develop between the four main characters. Jamie and Melanie are friends who basically grew up together before Melanie moved away. Gwen and Wyatt are friends of Jamie.

This particular story is about the Bell Witch who is said to haunt the Red River in this little town located in Tennessee. Blizzardy conditions, power outages and a sleepover make this the perfect setting for a ghost story.

Andrea Emmes is wonderful in performing this story. She made me feel like I was right there at the sleepover with the young teens. I can also see enjoying this series while camping and sitting around a campfire!

I requested a free copy of this audiobook. My review is unbiased and offered freely.

a horrifying tale

very good book entertaining and well narrated and excellent read as well too. Thank you

Ameri-Scares Tennessee review

This book grabbed my interest from the start. It was an interesting, suspenseful tale, Compelling and exciting.

A Haunting For Sure!

I begin listening to this story and had to listen until I finished in one day! The storyline will keep you glued with the mysterious hunting in Tennessee. The Girls in this story find out how brave they can be and a special bond happens in the end. The narrator made the story come alive and you could see what was happening. This story and narrative was amazing!
