Romantic Ghost Stories #1
The Ghost Next Door
A single mom and her teenage daughter move next to a spooky old house, and the small-town sheriff comes to their aid.
THE GHOST NEXT DOOR
When destiny takes a hand...
You've got to hold on tight.
When single mom Elizabeth Jennings gets sent to a new town to revamp its weekly paper, she resists. Her daughter Claire is just fifteen, and has recently started high school. But Elizabeth's boss insists, so the two pack up and move to the tiny Virginia town, which isn't even on most maps. Their luck goes from bad to worse when they discover the house Elizabeth rented online cozies up to an abandoned house. When creepy things start occurring next door, Elizabeth's glad to have the small-town sheriff in their corner. Nathan Thorpe is not just a stand-up guy they can trust, he's cool to have around when things go bump in the night. Elizabeth also learns he's good at holding her tight. And, when she's wrapped in his arms, she becomes afraid of more than ghostly happenings. She fears she's losing her heart.
Like most folks in Blayton, Nathan Thorpe is here for a reason. Only, he didn't fully understand what that reason was until a stunning brunette and her daughter came to town. Nathan's immediately drawn to Elizabeth and feels motivated to protect her and Claire, believing that means shielding them from nonsensical small-town lore. With Halloween approaching, there are rumors swirling about concerning the old Fenton place located across the street from the graveyard, and next to the newer home occupied by the Jennings. Nathan's a calm thinker who can find a rational explanation for almost anything. Yet there are deeper mysteries in Blayton than Nathan can explain. When he learns the truth, will he still be able to hold onto the woman he loves?

I had a hard time getting into this book. Didn't much care for Elizabeth, but I liked her daughter Claire. Nathan was a nice guy; I liked him. The story fell flat for me. I didn't find much depth through most of it, and the plot seemed very weak. I actually started reading it a while back then put it aside to finish later. Took me a couple of months to finally pick it up again and then I made myself finish it in one sitting so I'd be done. The ending was a disappointment. I won't give any spoilers, but I just found the ending far outside the realm of believable in any reality, and it wasn't a HEA for me. In fact, the ending left me depressed.

Ginny Baird brings us a delightful romance combined with a mystery. She has well developed characters who show great tenderness and compassion for others. She addresses many issues, one of which is bullying in school, not many authors would take this on with such realism. She has done a wonderful job with her imagery as well.
Elizabeth Jennings is a single mother who is employed by a large media corporation. After their purchase of several small newspapers, it is thrust upon Elizabeth to improve one located in a small town in Virginia. Her daughter Claire is 15 and will be starting high school. Elizabeth feels to accomplish all needed in this rural town, she must move her family. Claire is not wanting to move away from her friends to a new school, but after much discussion it is agreed that they would move. House rented via the internet and the SUV packed they travel to their new home.
Unfortunately upon arriving things are not as they anticipated. Their rental is a on a deserted street save one empty, old Victorian house with a cemetery located next to it. Elizabeth decides even though the view consist of a cemetery, it's still cozy. On the first night of their arrival, a couple scary incidents occur. Claire is already creeped out by the old house and cemetery so suddenly the creepy incidents next door don't seem quiet so small. Luckily Nathan Thorpe, who is the sheriff and has lived in Blayton for 3 years, shows up with credible explanations for the incidents.
Elizabeth and Nathan have an immediate attraction to one another. Nathan is a great guy and proves very helpful when she opens the old newspaper office and introducing her to the locals. Nathan has a sister, Belle, and a niece, Melody, who live in town and he has a close relationship with. The more they get to know each other the attraction continues to grow and trust develops. Elizabeth is just relieved that she has someone she can depend on when things go bump in the night, but is she ready to trust someone with her heart.
As Claire begins school, it is not so easy to fit into a new school, especially when their are girls who are less than welcoming. Claire begins to hear some of the local folklore about the old Victorian that everyone refers to as the "Fenton House". Claire makes a new friend in Perry, who tries to help her navigate through being a new student at school. She is just doesn't understand why Melody and friends are creating so many problems for her.
As Halloween approaches and the plot thickens, rumors surface again about the Fenton House and how the owner died. Nathan's protective instincts kick in and his goal is to protect both Elizabeth and Claire. There are deep mysteries in this small town, but who will solve them. Does anyone else see what's going on? Nathan knows he must solve the mystery and vows to hold on to Elizabeth at all cost.

OMG Ginny Baird did it again!!!
I just loved this book. Elizabeth and her daughter Claire move to a small town and next to a house that is a little creepy. When Nathan Thorpe comes to welcome them and let them know a little about the house and why its empty. Even though he explains Claire still thinks is creepy even with the cemetery near by. As time passes by Clair meets a boy Perry and he tells her more about Mrs. Fenton's house. She knows that everyone calls that house the haunted house but as time passes it doesn't see so creepy anymore.
As Perry and Claire get closer so does Elizabeth and Nathan. You will meet other characters in this book that make things seem weird in this town. Like some of the towns people just up and leave and no one hears from them. This is a must read because there is a twist that even I was not ready for.

Spooky
I enjoyed the overall story and the ending had a good twist. Very likeable characters. My complaint is the skipping from one characters story to another without any type of notation letting you know the next paragraph is onto another subject. This was confusing throughout the book. I found my self rereading sections. Would have also liked to have known how some of the characters died, really didn't get a good history on all the disappearances. Over a good mystery and sweet romance. The book was clean, no foul language and no descriptive sex.

The resolution was a bit too... out there for me. I'd liked the characters up to then.

First in the Romantic Ghost Stories paranormal romance series and revolving around Elizabeth Jennings and her daughter, Claire, in Blayton, Virginia.
My Take
The story focuses on romance: Elizabeth and Nathan's and Claire and Perry's. Very cozy, very sweet with an ending I would never, ever, have suspected.
The Ghost Next Door is a combination of characters and action with an amazing town where everyone knows each other. Where people tend to leave without warning. A place where Elizabeth feels "at ease and alive". A place with a reason for people to come here and heal.
And we learn what some of the townspeople need for healing through third person global subjective point-of-view, which allows us to listen in on the thoughts and feelings of a number of characters — Melody's need for mean is the most negative.
Considering that ending and the difficulty in getting communications in from outside Blayton, how exactly did Nathan hear about the place from Bernie or find out that Belle and Melody had moved here? How does Elizabeth's company know about the Gazette? No, I want, no, I need, Baird to make this more believable. Sure, it didn't become unbelievable until the end, but I do not like being broadsided.
I do like Elizabeth's policy of only being nice. It's a hard row to hoe, but reaps the best harvest.
Three graves? Not five? Not seven?
The Story
It's a request Elizabeth can't ignore. Her boss wants her to revive Blayton's town newspaper. Worse, the house they rent is across the street from a cemetery and next door to an abandoned (and ghostly) Victorian. Nor is Claire happy about being uprooted.
Then creepy things begin to happen next door. Claire is being bullied in school. And the sheriff bakes the most amazing chocolate chip cookies.
The Characters
Elizabeth Jennings is a journalist assigned to restart the town newspaper by her news organization (based in Richmond and Jerry Walker is her boss). Claire is her fifteen-year-old daughter who writes stories and songs. Cash Jennings left them twelve years ago. No loss, he turned into an alcoholic with a temper. They move in next door to the old Fenton place where Phantom, the cat, appears.
Blayton, Virginia
The town paper is/was The Town Gazette run by Pinkney Gale some ten years ago.
The easygoing Sheriff Nathan Thorpe is a renowned baker. Martha Holt is the dispatcher, the extremely bored dispatcher. Nathan's librarian sister, Belle, has a troubled (bullying) daughter, Melody. Tony Richards had been Belle's husband. Nathan and Belle's dad had been a highway patrolman, shot in the line of duty.
Lexington "Lex" Holt is Martha's husband and runs the only communications firm in town: satellite TV, Wi-Fi, broadband, etc. The Wilcutts bought the old mill store and turned it into a pool hall/saloon. Bob Robeson is a realtor; his wife runs a daycare. Janet Campbell — who gets funny feelings, has premonitions, and sees auras — runs the Dollar Store and is married to Deputy Sheriff Bernie Campbell. More townspeople from the past, the present and in the future include the Daniels, the Rileys, the Parkers who suddenly disappeared with their toddler son, the Carletons, Emma Gray and her mom, the Baileys and their Irish triplet sons who are into mischief all the time, and Alex Marshall who's moving here with his eight-year-old son, Winston, who is a new deputy. Monica is also a librarian.
Claire's fellow ninth-grade students include Joy Holt (Martha's daughter), the even meaner Penelope, and Lilly who gang up with Melody. Mr Harris is a teacher or principal?? Mrs Peabody is uptight and prone to yelling.
The older Perry lives with his uncle Dan, a former Marine who did two tours in Iraq and now owns an apple orchard.
Betsy Jean has been a friend of Elizabeth's since high school.
The Cover and Title
The cover is both sweet and spooky! In front of steps leading to a porch badly in need of painting, the winter-clad Elizabeth and Nathan are embracing, her back to his front. All the text is in white and left justified with the author's name at the very top and the title starting below their waists. An epigraph is in italics below that.
I have no idea where the title comes from. It's not The Ghost Next Door, but the "haunted" house that's next door.

I don't even know what to say about this book except simplistic, which if you are looking for a light read this book is OK. It had an interesting twist but even that fell a little flat for me.
December 16, 2013
I absolutely LOVED the unique story line, and the characters were really good, too. The reasons I didn't give it five stars was 1. for the writing. It was very immature to me, and if I hadn't wanted to know what was going on with this little town I would have put it down around a quarter of the way through. And 2. even though the twisted end cleared up some questions (not all), it created more without answering them, and I personally don't like being left saying, "But what about...?"
I would have enjoyed more development of the town's mystery as a whole and how it affected the characters instead of so much concentration on just the characters and their individual situations.
Regardless, it was a good, quick read if you want to cozy up in front of the fireplace on a chilly October's night.

I've read Ginny Baird before, so I was expecting a somewhat simplistically written, sweet story with not overly developed characters, most of whom would be impossibly good or irredeemably bad. And that's pretty much what I got here, but with quite a surprising twist. The book isn't really about a haunted house, as the title implies, and the mystery slowly builds until the end, and caught me by surprise. Overall, pretty good.
January 24, 2014
I loved this book. I love paranormal, watch paranormal and write paranormal. This- without giving it away because you so need to read this for yourself- is an amazing and engrossing book with a twist.

In this typical, non-bodice-ripping, insipid romance, Elizabeth and her teen-age daughter, Claire, move to rural Blayton, VA, for Elizabeth’s job of re-starting the village newspaper. The house they find to rent is beside a creepy Victorian and across the street from the village cemetery.
Nothing goes right, as communications in the village are down, supposedly due to a storm a few weeks ago. But Elizabeth does meet hunky sheriff, Nathan, when she & Claire are spooked by something in the “haunted” house next door. Claire meets a cute boy at school, & becomes the victim of the “mean girl” clique.
This is all blah, toned-down romance dreck w/ all the plot lines getting wrapped up into a neat little package at the end.
Until the twist. If you’ve ever seen the movie, “The Others,” starring Nicole Kidman, you’ll get it. Now I can see the clues, but at

Blayton, Virginia seems to be a place where the cemetery is bigger than the town. People seem to come and go quickly and unexplained things happen. Into this strange rural town comes Elizabeth and Claire Jennings who arrive from Richmond. Living next to a creepy, vacant Victorian house with a clear view of the cemetery only adds to the stress of settling into small town life, where everyone knows each other and noses into your business. Nathan, the local Sheriff, does his best to keep order and makes everyone feel welcome. He finds himself very interested in the new arrivals and a sweet romance ensues with Elizabeth. Claire has to deal with school bullies, pranksters, algebra, and the attentions of a cute boy who makes her heart flutter. But as Halloween approaches, things become strange and spooky as Nathan, Elizabeth, and Claire try to figure out the secrets of Blayton, Virginia!

I found this book for free on Amazon via Freebooksy; this is my honest review. First book with this author.
-Multiple love stories going on at the same time. All clean. Not even a hint that something happened.
-Believable small-town behaviors and actions for people in general. Everyone knows everybody's business.
-Believable teenagers too. There's a bully in every school around the world and the author nailed it perfectly.
-Mix of romance, mystery, suspense.
-The ending didn't quite surprised me but I found it too abrupt. Something was missing. What happened after? An epilogue would have been needed here. Some questions were left unanswered too.
-Editing needs another pass. Missing words at several places.

I read about dead people
Interesting, albeit trite premise. Idyllic setting where folks just up and disappear. A lot like the tv show, Lost.
The characters are as flimsy as tissue paper. The dialogue is stiff n a lot of places, and dated. The pacing is meh. The believability is zero.
I hit my limit of snarky comments a third of the way through, but finished it because I wanted to see how the author would tie everything together at the end. I’m having difficulty thinking of one thing about the book that I liked, but if pressed I’d have to say it’s the marmalade tabby named Phantom.
Save your money and your time.

Ok, I'm sorry. I've enjoyed other things by this author but this book was SO SLOW and nothing remotely happens until the 2nd to last chapter. The "deeper mysteries" are barely hinted at once or twice during the book and then at chapter 12 (out of 13) we finally get to more of what could be happening. I will say it was an interesting twist that I didn't see coming, but it came way too late in the book and frankly raised more questions.
Also, the writing tone in this one just felt like a Hallmark movie and those are just bleh to me. If you like Hallmark movies then you'd enjoy this more but still, nothing really happens until the end and then it's over like that.

Elizabeth and her daughter, Claire, rent a small house in Blayton VA next to an old vacant Victorian house complete with its own cemetery. It appears to be a spooky setting but the two settle in nicely especially since the handsome sheriff, Nathan, is a frequent visitor. Elizabeth and Nathan start a romance. Claire is 15 and finds a friend, Perry. Everyone in the small town knows each other. Occasionally there are disappearances though. This seemed like a regular romance until the surprise ending.

Spectacular!!
Awesome read from start to finish.
Elizabeth and her daughter Claire move to a small town named Blayton and there she meets the sheriff Nathan.
Nathan and Elizabeth become an item while Claire has issues at school with a bully whom is Nathan's niece.
I won't say more because I don't want to give anything say.
You like ghost stories with a crazy ending but happy then this a book for you.

I just found a new awesome author.

I was looking for a haunted/ghost type book, and didn’t realize I had it until the very end. It was a nice romance book, but it left me with questions. What exactly did they see in the mirror and how’d that make them “know”? Also questioning how do total strangers somehow belong together. How did Perry and his uncle suddenly “know”? Just too many questions. I wanted a haunted story that I KNOW is haunted and spooky. This wasn’t it. I really wanted to like this book.

Elizabeth is sent to Blayton, Virginia to revamp the local weekly paper. The house she rents is next to a creepy old Victorian house and across the street from the cemetery. Really big twist at the end, unexpected.

Fantastic book!
I really enjoyed this book. Once I started reading it i.didn't put in down until I finished it. It's a great story with Elizabeth, Claire and Nathan as the main characters. A love story with "mean girls " and mystery thrown in. I'd recommend this book

Hahahah! Everyone in town is dead. A place to go when you need to find something or finish something. Where do they go when they have finished what ever? Who knows.
It was weird, not creepy. It was a fun book to read through. Yes, very predictable but still fun.

The twist couldn’t redeem this book, because I didn’t like it. Absolutely no real conflict and some things weren’t explained to my satisfaction.

Great read! Clean romance.
Moved gently thru the story and was totally not ready for the ending. Believable characters with realistic issues. The plot twist is a kicker!

What a great story! I loved the twist ending. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

This was a lovely surprise. I was totally caught off guard. Very nice clean romance. It has now been over a week, I have read four more books. I can not stop thinking about this book.
