Deadly oleanders grow outside a beautiful Louisiana house, and the ghosts within might prove equally deadly when two young couples compete to win a Hawaiian honeymoon. The sounds and scents of Louisiana come to life as Brad and Angela leave their car and enter the worn dark luxury of the interior. There's an elevator that may never quite reach the dreaded thirteenth floor. There's a scary butler with stories and warnings of death and disaster in the past. And there are definitely ghosts."The only ghost I've ever encountered is the Holy Spirit," says Brad, to which Kevin replies "Oh so, you're one of those religious nuts." But, religious or not, there's a feeling of past sins intruding on the present in this tale. Just how far will Brad go to win that honeymoon and what price will the ancient house exact?Brad learns about love and trust in this tale, and readers will enjoy a feeling of mystery, ancient sorrows, and modern day folly as they read. A short evocative scary story, this one's perfect to share with the one you love on a warm slow summer's evening.Disclosure: The author let me know when this ebook was free and I quickly grabbed a copy for myself.
