Get A Ghostly Gift (Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries, #1.5) Narrated By Angie Fox Readable In Version

Back! Verity Long and Frankie Valentine, the gangster ghost that's stuck on Verity's property in Sugarland!! Last we seen of the pair was when Verity and Ellis fought for their lives and correcting a wrong by finding the murderer of a young woman buried in the basement of a building that Ellis was restoring.


Melody, Verity's sister asked for help in removing a ghost out of a friends store and in return Verity would gain a kitchen set as she had to sell everything in her grandmother's house to repay her exfiance for the wedding she never went to.
Julie ran a resell shop and had trouble with ghosts moving things around, Verity and Frankie stayed the night in the shop and a room full of male ghosts started to hit on her, well, all besides a lone WWII soldier that sat at the now gone bar grieving for his lost love that he couldn't find and Verity agreed to do all she could to find her, but her time was almost up and she had sold his mother's ring to Julie's shop.
Could Verity and Frankie find Maime in time

Angie Fox pens a short story that touches the heart of everyone who reads this book! With Frankie being mad that there's no money in the job, Verity has to stick to her guns and do the right thing for the private that died so long ago and help him find his one true love.
From New York Times bestselling author Angie Fox a fabulously fun short story in the new Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery series,

Verity Long doesn't want to see ghosts, and she'd rather not let anyone know her little secret, either, But when a restless spirit stirs up trouble in her friend's resale shop, Verity and her very new, very dead gangster friend team up to learn what is really happening.
They discover an ageold secret and must learn the truth behind a mysterious disappearance, . . before it's too latestars.

Sweet but too short for my taste,
There is sadness too for the ghost who was causing problem here but he got his happiness later on, The love of his life and dead had been devoted to him for more thanyears, aww isn't it so sweet

And Verity with Frankie helped them reunited: A Ghostly Gift is another short story in the Verity Long Southern Ghost Hunter series from Angie Fox.
Like the other short stories I've read which augment the series, its fun and charming and well written, Its part of that subgenre more fluff than actual mystery, of course, but its very well done and has some likable and engaging characters,

Verity is

having trouble furnishing her new Victorian home in this one, She is also trying to get used to having a ghost knocking around the place, Frankie is a dead gangster trapped with her after an unfortunate mishap with his ashes, Rather than scary, he is quite endearing, The device of having him help Verity see the dead and use her ability to make some much needed cash works well,

Veritys sister, Melody, wants her to help her friend Julie get rid of a ghost who has been bothering the collectibles case in her resale shop, New For You.
Though Julie isnt in a much better position than Verity and cant offer money, a new set of kitchenware to the struggling Verity sounds just as good.
It soon becomes complicated, however, when Verity and Frankie pay a visit at night, and discover the resale shop is a bar from another time.
A soldier from the war worried about the great love he left behind, and whom he needs to find before she passes, is at the heart of this short and surprisingly warm story.


A tradition featuring bottle caps and a girl who seems to have dropped off the map in, when the young soldier died, turn this into a warm and sentimental short story, respectful of the sacrifice made by so many in WWII.
The author obviously appreciates these things and it comes across, giving this fun fluff also a bit of warmth and tenderness, A light and nice read between bigger and more substantive books that makes me want to begin reading the series when Im in the mood for something lighter.
OUR SASSY SOUTHERN GHOSTHUNTER IS BACK

so happy to say verity long and her ghost sidekick frankie the ganster is back in this novella they help the owner of New For You antique solve the mystery of who or what is breaking and moving valuables around in her locked cabinet at night.
first of all loved the fact that the store used to be a bar for men only and that it is filled with ghosts of all time periods dropping in for a drink and flirting like mad with verity when they discover she can see themwhile talking with the guys she comes across a wwsoldier and find he has been moving the collectibles around because the ring he gave his finace that she promised never to take off is in the cabinet and he is desperate to find her before she dies so they can remain together naturally verity with the help of her sister melody start tracking down what happened to maime this was a fast fun mystery without any murders or verity having to fight for her life but if still had romance and a touch of magic and we learn a little more about what has been going on with our feisty ghost hunter and her trusty slightly shady paranormal sidekick i was hoping to see verity and ellis interacting together but while he is still in the picture apparently we will have to wait for the next book in this series by Angie Fox which trust me will be on my kindle the week it comes out if you have not read the first book southern spirits you can easily follow this tale but more then likely you will get hooked on this series so you might as well grab this book as well so if you like to read cozy mysteries with humor while curled up sipping something during this long cold winter i suggest you grab this book which right now is onlycents Three and a half
Id forgotten I had this and it was such a sweet and quick read that left me smiling.
Its early days when Verity was still getting used to her gifts and theres an innocence and charm to her interactions with ghostly Frankie thats missing from later stories.
I do prefer the more recent books as Verity and Frankie ghost bust together but this was a whimsical tale about love everlasting and enduring that had an uplifting feel to it so Im left feeling that theres always hope for better things.
A Ghostly Gift is a novella that is part of the Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery series, The premise of the series is that Verity Long cleans up what she thinks is an ugly vase left behind in her home by her exfiance.
In reality, she dumped out the ashes of a deceased gangster, grounding him to her home but giving Verity the ability to see and communicate with other spirits as long as she is with Frankie.
Verity becomes a reluctant ghost hunter in the first book and she continues that unexpected calling in this novella,  

As a favor for a friend, Verity agrees to find out who is haunting the young woman's resale shop and try to stop it.
Verity is nervous since she feels she doesn't really know what she's doing, but I love the way the story turns out, The rest of Verity's personal life is just as complicated as her ghosthunting activities, so there are many funny situations throughout the book, I would rate the novella,stars, and I hope to read more of Verity and Frankie's ghost hunting adventures soon, I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review,

This book may be listed on some sites as,, but it is actually., so I highly recommend reading Southern Spirits first, otherwise this will be kind of a spoiler, This was a shortcute story to pass the time between the first book Southern Spirits and The Skeleton in the Closet Bookcoming fall, not soon enough IMHO.
As with the first book in this series I highly recommend it and can't wait for the next! Following up the fun, fright, and flirty opening to the series with Southern Spirits, A Ghostly Gift happens after things are settling down.


Verity is determined not to do any more ghost hunting now that she can breathe easily about keeping her home off the seller's block.
Unfortunately, just because she solved a murder and took care of a ghost problem this does not make anyone in town look on her more favorably and hire her to do a graphic design job.


But, her sister Melanie's friend can use her help though she can't pay other than in perhaps something from her second hand/antique store.
Julie's store is in the old part of town and she knows its haunted which was fine until one of the ghosts started getting aggressive and breaking some of her pieces.


Verity agrees to the job and tows a reluctant Frankie along to help her figure out what has the angry ghost riled up.


This was a short, heartwarming ghost hunter case that has all the charm of the larger novels in the series, Again I loved the blend of small southern town, characters, history, and a ghostly case, It was well paced and well developed for a shorter piece,

Audio work was fantastic work by Tavia Gilbert, I think the scene of the ghosts at the bar just killed me, She did great work with all those characters and always does great with the recurring characters,

All in all, a nice delicious treat between the larger stories, I think I just read an episode of the Ghost Whisperer, Not bad but most definitely not original, Rating:.of five

RTC A review copy of "A Ghostly Gift" was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review, The free book held no determination on my personal review,

This is a novella so it is a short easy read but that being said don't let the length of the story deter you from reading it.
Angie packs quite a punch in this short story, She will have you laughing and crying and then she gives us that perfect awe ending we are hoping for, Verity quite accidentally has gained her own resident gangster ghost Frankie and the somewhat dubious gift of seeing "the other side" and you can find out how all this happened by reading "Southern Spirits"

"A Ghostly Gift" is a great story about true love that has endured through the separation of both distance and time.
Verity helps reconnect a soldier who never made it home and the girl who never stopped loving him,
It is a great little story that is suitable for any age reader and just might be the nudge that makes a young person into someone who loves reading.
