Why read it?

1 author picked The Haunting of Aveline Jones as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Aveline Jones was a great character for me. I love strong characters, and Aveline certainly was. I love that she turns detective and enters a spooky world full of ghosts. She challenges herself in her quest to find answers.

The author really nailed her character–this was a definite page-turner for me. Enough that I grabbed the rest of the books in the series.
