Book Review: Annie's Attic Mysteries #9 - The Deed in the Attic - K.D. McCrite

Life really isn't fair.

I can't get one house of my own but Annie (yes, I know a fictional character), gets three.

This time she finds a deed in the attic showing that Grandma Betsy had ownership. So that means Annie owns a house in Texas which she shared with her now dead husband; Grey Gables, the house that Betsy left her, and now this other house that is apparently scary and not in good shape and haunted.

Yes, haunted.

So Annie and a few friends from the Hook and Needle club decide to go on a ghost hunting expedition and investigate the house. Turns out a couple of Hook and Needle friends don't get along so well when they're not crafting - that Peggy can be a bossy witch. And it also turns out that you need a kit to take with you ghost hunting. Not just flashlights.

It also turns out that although the house has been severely neglected because it hasn't been lived in (houses do that. The less you use them the older they become. It's like they need to be loved or something) the house itself is still in good shape, and although not big, it just needs some love and kindness to bring it back to its glory days.

Still, Annie wants to solve the mystery as to how Betsy obtained the house. She didn't just go an buy it. It was given to her. But why?

Now if I weren't so bitter about Annie getting three houses while I can't even have one...still, it was a nice little cozy.
