MY REVIEW

“…killing rich Indians.”

The greed and ugliness of humanity arises when they hear of gold, and corruption makes it easy to steal from those that have it.

Mark and his family are moving…straight into his nightmare. My curiosity is aroused and I ‘dive’ in.

Mark wondered, “A house can’t be alive…can it”

Warning bells rang in his head, but finances deemed this is their new new home.

We flip from the 1860s to the present and Emma shined in the past and Mark in the future. He pays attention to the details and won’t quit until the job is done. So this is one mystery he WILL solve.

OMG…the safe… What happened n there explains why the past refuses to stay in the past, leaking into the future and making those in the house susceptible to ghosts of the past, which collide with the present and sparks fly. Reminds me of a Charmed episode.

The doctor doesn’t have a Hippocratic oath in the 1800s and feels he can do anything in the basement of his house…the dungeon. But his mistreatment of the Indians will bring the spirits down on him and his…but not all of them are bad.

I love haunted house stories and this one even has a fountain…a haunted fountain. At first I thought all the ghosts were bad, but I found out different. If you are a fan of Charmed and Ghost Whisperer, Mark will be talking to you. He will take you on a ride to hell and back.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Fountain Dead by Theresa Braun.

GOODREADS BLURB

Mark is uprooted from his home and high school in the Twin Cities and forced to move with his family into a Victorian in Nowhere-ville. Busy with the relocation and fitting in, Mark’s parents don’t see what’s unfolding around them—the way rooms and left behind objects seem alive with a haunted past.

Of course, Mark keeps his ghostly encounters to himself, all the while sinking deeper into the house’s dark, alluring, and ultimately terrifying history. As romantic entanglements intensify, the paranormal activity escalates. Past and present come together. Everything is connected—from the bricks in the walls to the hearts beating in their chests, all the secrets of Fountain Dead are finally unearthed

ABOUT THERESA BRAUN

Hmmm. What’s this? Looks like Ms. Braun left her computer on and her Goodreads bio open.

This should be fun.

What can we say about Theresa? I mean other than the fact that she’s weirdly obsessed with smiley faces :-). Like, seriously obsessed >:-*. It’s kinda scary :-O.

I think she thinks she’s from Renaissance England or Venice or something. I never could figure out which one it was. (She’s really bad at doing accents.)

She likes romance novels and crime TV, which are pretty much the same thing when you think about it. Ha! Am I right?

She has a hell of a singing voice. Seriously. It’s, like, seventh circle of hell bad.

She likes editing. A lot. Just wait till she get’s aload a this.

Cats. Shoes. Chips and salsa. In that order.

Yeah, that last part didn’t make sense to me either.
