About the Book:

Having two men in your life, vying for your attention, is hard enough, but what if one of those men is dead?

Peyton Clark moved to New Orleans with two thoughts in mind--to escape a bad marriage and to fix up the huge mansion her great aunt left her. While her bad marriage becomes a thing of the past, her ownership of the house on Prytania Street is threatened. By whom? None other than a relative of Drake's, the ghost who happens to be haunting Peyton's house. Luke Montague is the embodiment of Drake in everything but disposition and he's proving to be a big thorn in Peyton's side.

To make matters worse, Peyton's health and her very sanity is suffering by some unseen force. Visions of ghosts dance in her head, warping her understanding of what's real and what isn't. Furthermore, these visions prove to be a warning of a larger threat that's impacting the city--antiques are going missing, stolen by the ghosts of children.

When Peyton gets involved, she'll face more than she bargained for--including witches, possessed dolls, a strange dog, ghostly pirates and her teenage niece.


This is the first book I’ve read in H.P. Mallory’s Peyton Clark series. I went into the book unsure if I would know what was going on since If You’ve Got It, Haunt It is the fourth book in the series. I worried for nothing. Sure, there are a few things that I didn’t understand but they weren’t anything that detracted me from the story or left me feeling left out or confused. Peyton and her resident ghost, Drake discuss things from the past but the occurrences were explained enough to keep me up-to-date.

Peyton Clark is a medium with regular contact with ghosts, spirits, and others in the world of sensitives. She and her boyfriend, Ryan, a mundane, have so much going on this book. Peyton is having weird visions and dreams, causing discombobulation within her mind. Someone is threatening to take her home away, and by that, Drake’s home. There are ghost children stealing certain artifacts from various placed around New Orleans. Mysterious women keep popping up in Peyton's dreams, visions, and life. To top it all off, Peyton's niece, Maggie, is here for a visit with news of her own. There is no end to the weird occurrences in this book.

I really enjoyed reading about Peyton, Ryan, Maggie, and Peyton's voodoo friend, Lovie. I enjoy the author's smooth and conversational writing style. The characters are likable, complex, and easy to read about and story is fun yet terrifying. I was thoroughly engaged and invested in the characters, story, and book, overall. Nothing in the book was resolved, leaving the reader with a cliffhanger ending. I highly anticipate the next book in the series.

I was provided a copy of this book to review.
