Haunted House Flippers: A Paranormal Home-Renovation Comedy

by K.L. Brooks

A deadpan realtor who sees ghosts.

A golden-hearted contractor.

And six houses that need more than just a coat of paint.

Sam and Haley specialize in the impossible: flipping America’s most possessed properties. From 1920s mansions with sinister mirrors to a 1980s Tudor where the television transports Sam to Gilligan’s Island, they tackle the kind of supernatural baggage that a standard renovation can't fix.

Whether they are fighting untrainable gremlins in a Queen Anne Victorian or dealing with a rockstar's heartbreak in a 1970s ranch, every fixer-upper comes with a spirit that refuses to leave.

Six fixer-uppers. Six supernatural nightmares. For Sam and Haley, flipping a haunted house is just another day at the office, assuming the fridge doesn't try to eat them first.

About the author

Hi! 👋

I’m K.L. Brooks, and I write paranormal fantasy grounded in the present with ghosts, chaos, and just a touch of romance. 💞

My style is cinematic, fast-paced, and comedy-forward. Think ghosts, chaos, and characters who make bad decisions (or watching others make them) in the most entertaining ways.

I love finding the humor in the bleak, bizarre, and all-too-human moments we’d sometimes rather ignore. If we don’t laugh, we cry—and I prefer to laugh.

Follow me on Goodreads to keep up with all my haunted adventures!

Stay spooky,

“Everything is going well until the sun sets and Sam disappears. Has Hailey been ghosted or is this something a little more other worldly.”

Do you like watching house flipping shows on HGTV? Well, then this one is for you! Between the sense of humor and the broadcasting/tv show like moments, I was laughing out loud. It reminded me a bit of the audio book for Dungeon Crawler Carl when they have the video game notifications. This is also perfect for the Halloween season and is only 1 hr and 45 min long!

This was a quick fun read and great for the start of spooky season. It was more comedy than spooky which was great because I have a lot of other spooky scary stories on my TBR.

Sam and Haley were funny together and they fit well. The ghosts/creatures were funny I liked the gremlins and Nana she was sassy.

Haunted House Flippers is a quick, quirky and fun little read!

The way this book played out in my head while I was reading it made me so nostalgic to watch reruns of extreme home makeover!

I loved the gremlins and the particular brand of chaos they brought!

Really cute and funny.

This was so silly, I had a great time!

[Caitlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Delightful, charming and totally could be a great audio drama! All the house descriptions were vivid and the commentary is exactly what I wanted from my favorite HGTV show! Plus the ghost hunter meet cutes, such a fun read!

I just wish we had full backstory spin offs because I’d read an entire book about each character in a heart beat!

This was a fun story! It made me LOL a few times. Gremlins. I will be listening to the next one once it's on audio.

Haunted House Flippers is just the audiobook for a day of errands! With Golden Retriever Sam, Black cat Haley and the delightfully cliche but entertaining Host you get an hour and forty-five minutes of rib tickling hilarity. I am now a fan of K.L. Brooks because of this. And Ian Morgan as the Host had me cackling like an old witch!

This was a funny little book! I liked the character and the narrator who had all the funny jokes. I enjoyed all of this book and I am looking forward to reading more from them.

[Laryssa · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s creepy and it’s kooky.

This is a collection of sit-com style short stories revolving around haunted house flippers Haley and Sam. Think: Scooby Doo. It was a quick, silly fun Halloween read.

[Nea Edie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is hilarious! Think an HGTV house flipping show but with paranormal entities hosted by a clairvoyant and her goofy husband.

I love how this was written, where it’s described like those house flipping shows. It’s done very well! I enjoyed the humor and the romantic subplot between the MCs Sam and Haley. I’m just sad it was short 😭

I hope KL writes more of these types of novellas later! Very entertaining!

Hi 👋

I'm ABSOLUTELY biased, but I hope y'all readers will give Haunted House Flippers a chance! This short story collection is filled with humor and haunts with a dash of sweet romance. If you're looking for a light read for the season or not in season (I won't judge!), this book is it. 💝

Haunted House Flippers is pure comedy gold, with haunted houses serving as the backdrop for a series of short, humorous stories about a couple who flip them.

The book follows a couple who make a living flipping haunted houses, with each new property bringing its own supernatural complications and ridiculous situations.

I listened to the audiobook, which I think was a big part of the fun. An announcer introduces the stories, giving the whole thing a slightly broadcast/TV-show feel. The narrator's delivery and comedic timing really added to the humor and made it an entertaining listen.

I'd recommend Haunted House Flippers to anyone looking for a quick, lighthearted comedy, particularly in audiobook format.

Thanks to K. L. Brooks for giving me a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Audiobook: This was my first experience with this author's work, and I enjoyed it. I thought the whole idea of writing a story about people who flipped haunted houses was humorous, and I wasn't disappointed. The story featured several different houses and each of the houses had their own issues which kept me grinning with amusement. I liked Sam and Haley as they seemed to complement each other as he was good natured and she was more practical even though she had the ability to see the ghosts. I thought Ian Morgan's narration was great as his performance enhanced the entertainment of the story. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

These short stories are presented as a Reality TV show with 10 episodes. The dialogue is okay and the characters are simple but fun. However, the activity in the stories has a lot to be desired. Some of the stories resolve themselves, one story is abandoned early on (abandoning the story is made a part of the story but isn't very satisfying), and the overriding romance goes from the first meeting to marriage of the main characters, leaves that in the background for the most part.

I had hoped for so much more from the tales than what was there. Maybe that affects my review. But I don't like feeling disappointed by the book when I reach the end

[Tullulah · Rating 5 out of 5]

A page turning, cosy, light hearted romp of hauntings including ghosts, green witches and house renovations. Thoroughly entertaining with a warm, blossoming romance in between.

Filled with adventure, amicable ghosts, a ghostly dating show, gremlins and a good dash of whimsy haunted house flippers is thoroughly readable. This humorous adventure will warm your heart and delight readers from all generations.

What the hell did I just read?!? He was put in a tv by a ghost?

I wanted this book to be a little bit longer. The banter was sooo cute during this.

Great little pallet cleanser if you need one.

[Tracy Booktalk · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book kept me smiling. I love ghosts and the added gremblins was very funny. I will be watching for the next book from this author. They have potential

[Sara Taplin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Really silly, not well written book. I don't think 10 year old me would have even enjoyed this.

[Melanie THEE Reader · Rating 1.5 out of 5]

Local woman's idiot husband is responsible for every dangerous situation that they encounter in this book.

*audiobook review*

Haunted House Flippers is a short book written like a TV show. Lots of Dialogue and very straightforward descriptions. Not bad writing, but it feels more like a converted Script than something written as a book.

The dialogue is witty and perfectly shows the personality of the two protagonists.
The concept of a couple who only renovate and flip haunted houses is an original and clever idea. I would really love to see this turned into a fake reality show.

Since the chapters are written as episodes the novel reads more like a collection of short stories rather than a cohesive plot which worked out perfectly for using this audiobook on my commute to work as I could listen a whole "episode" on my drive.

There is continuity throughout and even though the novel lack a solid through plot it does build on what came before until it reaches a satisfying end.

The narrator was good and he pulled off the gimmick of the TV show voice over really well.
