Welcome To Dead House

"Why does the ghost have his head in the oven?" I groaned at the sight of Joey's bony ass sticking out of the appliance. He hadn't even opened the door. Ex-burlesque dancer and aspiring author Tamara Garvey just had her world turned upside down. Her best friend died and leaves her as guardian to a teenager. Now, not only is Tamara struggling with her new role but she is also charged with caring for the family home, the Ridaught Plantation known by the locals as the Dead House. To her surprise, the place is already occupied by an angsty ghost named Joey who has a penchant for wearing her clothes and a fascination for paranormal movies and television shows. Tamara and Joey develop an unexpected friendship but questions remain about how and when he got there. In an attempt to fit in with the suspicious small town residents, Tamara turns on the charm and decides to host a community wide Halloween party, right at the historic home. Everything turns out great until the dead begin to show up too. Can Tamara solve the secret of the Ridaught Plantation before it's too late? Can she protect Chloe from the dead who are assembling? Or will they also become ghostly residents of the Dead House?

Ghosts always knew when you saw them. One did not stumble upon a ghost. If you saw them, they wanted you to see them . . . Tamara Garvey lands her first book deal but her friend's reactions aren't what she expected. They are less than supportive-even her dead best friend brushes off this momentous achievement. Question is, why? Tamara expected her life to improve, but the Dead House has a few paranormal surprises for her. Her ghostly writing is attracting disturbing spiritual activity, putting her and her family at risk. You know it's bad when Joey is hiding in strange places. Then Chloe tries to communicate with her late mother and learns what true terror is. Someone or something is determined to keep them apart-forever. Things get even more troubling when Deputy Kevin Patrick enlists their help in a heartbreaking murder case. Can Tamara and Chloe make contact with the lost soul? Will the angry new residents at the Dead House force them to abandon Chloe's inheritance? Welcome to the Dead House!

What do you do when the family curse kicks in and Chloe finds herself in a paranormal fight for her life? Tamara decides to get to the bottom of it. She hopes to set Chloe free but cannot do it alone. A talented curse breaker, with a secretive past of her own, joins forces with them and the outcome is not what anyone expected. Joey makes peace with the dead, even though he's dead too. Will his act of forgiveness take him away from the Dead House forever? Will he cross over and leave this new family behind?
