A Haunting on Bloodgood Row by M.L. Bullock

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I knocked back the rest of A Haunting on Bloodgood Row by ML Bullock last night. This is the third in the author's "Gulf Coast Paranormal" series. The main characters are Cassidy Wright and Midas Demopolis.

About to embark on her third investigation with the GCP team, Cassidy dives into her art and paints a portrait of one of the ghosts haunting what was once known as Bloodgood Row. Sabrina Elizabeth was murdered over 100 years ago, her body never found. The investigation proves to be difficult. Not only is the haunting severe, but teammates Sierra and Josh are at a crossroads in their marriage, and Cassidy feels that Midas is withholding information about her missing sister from her. Each member of the team experiences terrifying events at Bloodgood Row, putting not only the investigation into jeopardy, but also their lives.

This was certainly creepy, but I still maintain that the first book in the series was the creepiest. I enjoyed the pacing of this, as the author alternated the chilling investigative scenes with downtime for the team. What I liked the least was the seeming lack of resolution. The team figured out what was going on and where the bodies were (literally) buried, but it was never revealed if said bodies were exhumed and the building(s) cleared of negative energy.

Favorite lines:
♦ Death by angry blonde. Not exactly the way I wanted to go.
♦ Nobody believes in the supernatural--until they believe in the supernatural.

I would like to give this 3 1/2 stars. Since halfsies aren't allowed, I'll give it a generous 4.
