Wow! What a story! The first few chapters I read with a puzzled brow but then I got hooked. I read a few chapters every day wanting to know more. To finish it, I HAD to stay up till some awful time because I HAD to know how it ended!!
It’s a story that throws the reader right in at the deep end. Great descriptions that made me grimace a few times! (In a good way!) I wanted to know more about the characters and their backgrounds. Also, I’d visited savannah only a few months before which brought the book to life even more for me as I could relate to the surroundings.
I have a few questions for the author which I’ll broach privately as I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone. :)😉

It's an overall good book with a simple story (in a good way).The characters are just really, really flat and the story takes a bit of predictable route. Most readers are already trying to come up with the big plot twist in their minds, so the best novels should find a way to either (properly) divert expectations or build up a sense of suspense of something that the readers only piece together for themselves towards the end. There are a lot of good articles on the internet that talk about writing out a good plot twist.
Better expanding your characters through a variety of trials or problems (even minor ones) are great ways to expand your story, but really there was only one big, plain problem. Put the characters through something that makes them seem more like a person with a distinct personality. Our protagonist just came for the ride and didn't take a very active part in the novel.
If you don't want to make small problems for the characters to interact with and open up through, another good alternative is dropping hints or using words or phrases that foreshadow the end in a way that isn't obvious to the reader at the start. John Green is basically the master of the latter method.
The book is alright, but it takes a really safe route. I still encourage those with any interest in the book to read it for yourselves and see how you like it.

My favorite stories are those filled with a strong possiblity of "what if." The plausibility that retribution can be had even from ghosts left me wondering, "what if this really happens to us?" Sullivan House is filled with twists, dynamically written about historical locations in Savannah, GA. I would definitely recommend this book to those who love ghost stories. A. M. Crane has woven a tale that leaves the reader jumping at shadows long after the cover is closed. Definitely a great ghost story!

Based on historical "ghosts" from Savannah, GA, this haunting story of retribution leaves the reader wondering who is alive and who is the ghost. A story compared to Shirley Jackson's, "The Haunting," Sullivan House raises the dead and spares no one from the supernatural, unexplained happenings deep within the walls of this ancient mansion.

Think "Midnight in the garden of Good and Evil"- definitely full of flavor and suspense - hard to put it down! It's a rare book that, as you are in the last 20 pages, you already know you're going to miss reading it when you are done! A 'great read' !
