If you've followed my blog for very long, you already know Karen White is one of my favorite authors and I can always depend on her books for a great read.  The Guests on South Battery is the fifth installment in the Tradd Street series and I loved everything about it!  

In The Guests on South Battery, Melanie is just returning to work from maternity leave and on her first day back, she meets a new client Jayne Smith.  Jayne recently inherited a historic home on South Battery and wants to sell it as soon as possible.  Despite wanting to earn an easy commission, Melanie insists that Jayne visit the home to be sure she knows what she would be giving up.  During their visit, Melanie can't help but sense different battling spirits in the house.  Add to that, the renovation on Melanie's own home has recently unearthed an old cistern in the backyard, and it would seem the spirits are ready to communicate with Melanie again whether she is ready or not. 

I enjoyed all the twists and turns in this latest installment in the Tradd Street series.  As always, after reading a Tradd Street book, I am ready to plan a trip to Charleston  so I can experience in person the world Karen White makes come to life so vividly from the page.  I have often recommended Karen White books to friends and The Guests on South Battery is another one to add to my highly recommend list!  

I received The Guests on South Battery courtesy of Berkley Publishing Group through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Karen White is a new author for me. This is the 5th in a series. Do I need to read the other four first or do they read as stand alones?

Carol, while you could probably read it as a stand alone, I would personally recommend starting with The House on Tradd Street which is the first one in the series. If you start with the first book, you can follow the progression of the story line for the main characters better. Happy Reading!
