The Bones of Marietta

Rate this book
"Spooky beautiful. I hoped it would never end."A tropical storm uncovers a shocking find at Biloxi’s most notorious mansion, Marietta--human remains. The discovery stirs up forgotten ghost and horrific crimes. The desperate owner reaches out to dream catcher and psychic Carrie Jo for answers. A friend helps Carrie Jo unravel the mystery of where the rest of the bones are located but the supernatural activity escalates. Locating all of Mary Fairbanks’ bones may prove disastrous for the dream catcher.

The ghost of a child tugs at the young mother’s heart strings but all may not be as it seems in this southern haunting. Especially when the terrifying Red Lady appears, Mississippi’s version of a banshee, a sign of approaching death.

Lily has her own paranormal encounter when a phantom whistler stalks her. Can she figure out what the ghost wants and how to get rid of him?

Ashland learns he has a forgotten relative—one that has questionable motives. Is he who claims?

If you like books like Hill House or haunted house novels, The Bones of Marietta is for you! This is book one in the Marietta trilogy by M.L. Bullock.

Omg I was so excited when I got my notice that this book was ready to download on my kindle. So needless to say I had to read it right away. To enjoyable to wait . Can't wait for the next one. Get ready for an adventure you will not forget. Just love Carrie No. But one question keeps niggling at my brain...will her niece be joining the team????? Only time will tell.

This was a very easy “book” to read. This to me is more of a short story. I haven’t read any of ML Bullock’s works. I picked this particular book out because it was based in the south. I enjoyed the characters. The time hopping was a little difficult to follow at first, but once I realized psychic dream walking was going on, it made sense. I have already started the next book in the series. If you need an easy read that is short… go for it.

Glad to be back.

I love ML Bullock.

And I'm crazy about CJ & Ashland. I have grown quite attached to these characters from previous books.

I don't really do book reviews. There's enough folks out there that do. But if I have something to say, I will.

If you're going to read this series, I suggest you start with the Seven Sisters series. There are too many references to the other series not too.
You will definitely enjoy them.

You Shouldn’t Make a Deal Will The Devil

It ends on a cliffhanger ugh. The book was good, I just think some of the characters were useless. What exactly is Ashland’s role as part of the paranormal team?

Enthralling

I downloaded th book from Amazon. I have read a number of Seven Sisters books and love them. Having grown up in the North East books set in The old South are fascinating. The only complaint is they are too darn short.

Great story

I feel like Monica writes what she feels and takes us on the journey with her. I sure was disappointed that she left you hanging on this one.

I liked the story but it really leaves you hanging. It was short and doesn’t tell how they deal with the problem with Lily.
