How to Sell a Haunted House

Haunted Properties #1

by Angela Roquet

Being a magical runt in a notorious family of witches is a fate worse than death.

Margo West hardly has enough magic to fill a dustpan. So, when her gran passes away, leaving her temperamental broomstick to her most incompetent granddaughter, Margo takes off. After landing in a strange little town of Shifters in West Virginia, she decides to try her hand at real estate. Mild hearth magic might not have impressed the wicked West fam, but it does wonders for open houses. Her "parlor tricks" include shining windows, mopping floors, and vanishing dust with a twitchy blink of her eyes. Hey, wiggling your nose is hard! 

Margo's new life seems to be going well, until broody hunk Dylan Hernández solicits her to sell his childhood home before the bank forecloses on it. The creepy manor is plagued by ghosts, bats, and a greedy developer. It's going to take a lot more than parlor tricks and mascara to get this job done, but with her reputation, commission, and a tentative romance on the line, Margo's not about to throw in the broom just yet.

This is a nice, fluffy read. Nothing serious, but funny and light.

I watch all the HGTV shows and when I saw this title I just had to read it plus it is part of Magic and Mayhem Universe and I love all of those books. But with all of that being said this book did not disappoint me. This was so fun to read. The characters and description of the house had me visualizing it and going along on the ride to selling the haunted house. Loved it.

Quirky and funny. You get to meet shifters, ghosts and witches. A witch who can only do small magic, a broom that's sassy and a shifter who needs help. A fun read that keeps you laughing. It does have a cliffhanger ending.

Entertaining and funny

This was a great story, entertaining and a bit mysterious. It definitely grabbed and held my attention all through the short read. My only complaint is that we didn’t get a prologue “reunion” type scene.

A good story.

I enjoyed this light, quick read. Margo is a witch who sells houses. I like the variety of shifters in the story. This is perfect if you are looking for something light to read.

No Happy Ending!

I really don't like when authors don't give you a happy ever after. I hope Margo and Dylan got one.

Fun read!

This was a quick read that was well paced. It fit nicely into this Kindle World. It's characters were likeable, and the storyline was easy to follow.

Mistook a pdf of this for the Grady Hendrix book we chose for a book club.. Ended up reading the whole thing before I realized it was probably not the right book. lol.

Stay for a Spell

Curse gone wrong and your new job turns into a lot more than you bargained for. Another Assjacket mystery gets solved by the new kid who just happens to land there. Yep, Fate has Assjacket firmly in their grasp.
