The Ghosts of Aquinnah
A brilliant flash of light transcends through time.
Another freezes a cloaked figure within a frame of salty mist as waves crash against a rocky shore. Her harrowing expression shadows the beacon to a pinprick.
By the next blaze, she is gone. Only the lighthouse remains.
Hannah’s eyes blink in step with each heartbeat. Images of her deceased parents and Martha’s Vineyard explode like firecrackers inside her mind.
She shakes her head.
For weeks this eerie woman dressed in nineteenth century garb has been haunting my webcam, but tonight she stared into my soul.
Why? ...
Who is she? ...
Casting aside months of research on historic lighthouses, Hannah drives to the coast and boards a ferry.
What is the strange connection she has to this mysterious woman suspended in time?
Hannah finds out.
But, it’s not at all what she expects ...
Hannah unravels a century old murder.

I know a book is great when I keep thinking about it long after I've put it down. That was the case with Julie Flanders' second novel, Ghosts of Aquinnah. I really wanted to devour this book all in one sitting, but life kind of got in the way. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it and wondering what was going to happen next! As always, Flanders' writing is wonderful in this book--smooth, elegant, and effortless. She deftly switches back and forth between a present-day story involving writer Hannah who is doing a book on lighthouses and 1884 where we meet star-crossed, would-be lovers, Stella Winslow and Christopher Casey. In a kind of paranormal twist, Hannah stumbles upon Stella and Christopher's story and ends up solving a century old mystery. It is somewhat of a departure from Flanders' first novel, Polar Night, but it is every bit as riveting and satisfying. The love story at the heart of the novel is both sweet and tragic. The characters are extremely well-drawn. You'll love the good ones, and really detest the bad ones! I especially loved Hannah, who frames the 1884 story. She is an intelligent, witty female character. You'll definitely get caught up in her quest and her passion. Flanders does a really great job of capturing all the nuances in the relationships between various characters. So many of the dynamics between various characters resonated with me personally, which was pretty cool. I love when a book can do that! Finalyl, this book will really keep you on the edge of your seat wondering how things are going to (or already did) turn out!

The Ghost of Aquinnah isn’t scary or spooky, she’s a ghost who needs help in righting a wrong and enlists the assistance of Hannah, a freelance writer, who is researching lighthouses. The ghost captures Hannah’s attention via a webcam and Hannah immediately feels the need to find out who the lonely, sad woman is on her computer screen each night.
As soon as Hannah arrives on Martha’s Vineyard, strange clues are left in her hotel room. As she digs into the history of a certain lighthouse we travel back in time to 1884 to discover a heartbreaking and mysterious tale of forbidden love, a loveless marriage, revenge and murder.
This story was a page-turner from the start. The historical aspect of the time was authentic and pulled me right into the time. The era wasn’t friendly or fair to Stella, who had no rights as a woman at the time, or to Christopher, the Irish immigrant she falls in love with.
Transporting back and forth from the past to present flowed nicely and I was just as anxious to find out about and help Stella as Hannah was.
Other reviewers have gone over the deeper plot, so I’ll just close by saying Ms. Flanders second novel is a winner and I look forward to more of this authors stories

Hannah is trying to write a book on New England lighthouses. But she has writer’s block. Not only that, her boyfriend is not supportive and to be blunt, he’s an ass. Hannah desperately wants to find a hook to get her creative juices flowing and to give her book the edge it needs.
One night, while watching one of the lighthouse's webcams in the comfort of her Boston apartment, Hannah spies a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Hannah is intrigued. Then on a different occasion the mysterious woman looks directly at the camera. Is she sending Hannah a message? Thus starts Hannah’s quest to find out more about the woman and the past.
The story pulled me in right away. I won’t lie, I stayed up late two nights in a row since I couldn't put the book down. The author is familiar with the area and her descriptions made me miss New England. The novel jumps back in forth in time, but it’s done so well that the flow of the story never feels disconcerting. Each chapter revealed another layer and as I said the more I learned the harder it was to set it aside. I kept saying, “Just one more chapter and I’ll go to bed.”
All the characters, even the wicked ones, have depth. Even though I really hated one character in particular, I was happy to see that Flanders didn't make him a cardboard cutout.
This novel has many components that I love: history, a ghost, a love story, mystery, and character development. Flanders ties them all together seamlessly. This is the first book that I've read my Flanders. Now I need to track down a copy of her other novel, Polar Night.

A deftly and delicately woven ghost story, this novel gripped me from the start. I was immersed into 19th century Martha's Vineyard and the present day, as Hannah strives to learn about the strangely dressed woman she sees on her webcam. It's a tragic and unsettling tale which doesn't sink into sentimentality, even though there's a love story at the heart. Plus, it has one of the best one-upmanship-over-an-ex scenes I've read for a while. A brilliant read, and highly recommended.

Okay, so this really isn't a "spooky" story in the traditional sense. No creepy "Who stole my golden arm?" moans in the middle of the night, no eerie sounds of chains rattling, no blood-curdling yells. Yes, there IS a ghost named Stella in the story, but she isn't at all scary. She's forlorn.
Free-lance writer Hannah's curiosity is immediately aroused when she spots sad Stella on a lighthouse webcam. Not only is it bizarre to see a young woman wandering around the lighthouse after dark, but it's especially bizarre that she's wearing a long dress, bonnet, and shawl, instead of blue jeans and a funky Red Sox sweat shirt. But what really puts Hannah over the edge is when Stella stops and seems to look "right at her" through the camera. That's it. Hannah has no choice but to pack up her curiosity and notepad, and head to Aquinnah to find some answers.
Of course, it requires a lot of digging... both figuratively and literally... but Hannah does find her answers. She learns who Stella is... or rather, who she was... and what she wants from Hannah now. The question is: can Hannah deliver? By alternating between Hannah's present-day life with her obnoxious self-centered doctor boyfriend, and Stella's 1884 life with her cruel self-centered doctor husband, Flanders spins parallel tales of two lives separated by more than a century, but united by a common bond of loneliness.
What I enjoyed most about this book is the realistic peek it provides of 1884 New England. Not necessarily a proud time in our history, but definitely a fascinating one. Stella's history is a sad one, but maybe, just maybe, Hannah can help set things right for her.

A woman on a mission, Hannah seeks the mysterious woman who haunts a lighthouse in Aquinnah in Julie Flanders’ The Ghosts of Aquinnah.
This novel jumps between current time (2013) and historical Martha’s Vineyard (1884). The mysterious woman Hannah sees upon a webcam one night pulls the reader into the tale of Christopher, a shipwrecked young Irishman, and Stella, a young woman married to a man she doesn’t love. My heart ached for Christopher and Stella and the conflict of their budding feelings of love. At times the parts with Stella reminded me of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening. Josiah, Stella’s husband and the town doctor, played the perfect villain, although one a reader could sympathize with as well.
I wish we saw more of Hannah in 2013 Martha’s Vineyard and New England. The novel veered more on Christopher and Stella’s side, but I felt a connection with Hannah and had hoped to delve deeper into her life and conflicts. Her part of the story almost felt a touch anti-climactic compared to Christopher and Stella’s.
I loved the settings within this novel and how they can be beautiful with the lighthouses, greenery, and ocean waves as well as mysterious and downright creepy with the thick fog and chilly atmosphere. Flanders’ writing captured the world and the timelines of the story.
Touching and tragic, The Ghosts of Aquinnah by Julie Flanders will stick with you.

Researching a story on Martha's Vineyard, Hannah spots a strangely dressed woman out alone at night one of the of the lighthouse webcams. She sees this apparition more than once and cannot resist the call. Hannah travels to discover who this mystery woman is and why she's reaching out to her. Yet she hasn't been back to Martha's Vineyard since her parents' deaths. What will Hannah find when she digs into the past? Something much more than an unsolved murder awaits her.
A marvelously written story with tremendous atmosphere and characterization. One of the author's strengths is setting. The little details that were wonderfully New England helped draw the reader into the story. Even with the story told from two different time periods, I never felt lost or thrown back and forth.
The plot was carried by an amazing cast of characters. I especially sympathized with Stella and Christopher. I loved their sweet banter. And even the few characters that I loathed, they had layers to them that made them more than flat villains.
Two stories from different times woven together with elegance and emotion.

Julie Flanders is a remarkable and talented writer. While reading The Ghosts of Aquinnah I was transported to the year 1884. Julie writes with clarity and feeling and you sympathize, or despise her characters with real emotion. Unlike her debut novel, Polar Night, which was way creepier (I mean that in a good way)and has me believing in Vampires, Ghosts of Aquinnah has a warmer ghostly feel.(If you understand that) I love the historical aspects of the book, and you want to scream at the injustice to women in that time period. The book transcends time from 1884 to modern day devoid of confusion in any way while reading. Hopefully, you've all read the blurb so I don't feel the need to describe the context of the story. However tragic and heart wrenching for the souls in 1884, all comes to light. Ghosts of Aquinnah will haunt you well after you read the last word.

Hannah Forrester is researching a book about lighthouses when a discovery on the Aquinnah lighthouse webcam leads her down a new path—one that takes her to Martha’s Vineyard. It’s a place that holds many bittersweet memories for Hannah. Through her research, Hannah becomes deeply involved in the story of Stella and Christopher who lived on the island in 1884.
The Ghosts of Aquinnah brilliantly alternates between the present and the past. The story unfolds in vivid and rich details, painting a lifelike portrait of New England as it is today and how is once was in the 1800s. Flanders creates layered and realistic characters. I found myself mesmerized and saddened by their tragedies and triumphs.
This is definitely a book I would read again.

It's actually a good thing I was snowed in this weekend because from the first few pages I knew I wouldn't be able to put this book down until I finished it. It's such an easy yet captivating read, and the transitions back and forth from 1884 to the present day are seamless. I was writing a review for another book recently that I didn't care for that much, and I explained that a great book to me is one where I don't even notice the words on the page. They just fly by your eyes as you are swept away to become part of the story. There is magic in the writing, and this was definitely the case with The Ghosts of Aquinnah.

There’s a mystery to be solved, and I love a good mystery, under the direction of a ghost though? Don’t scoff, it works, and works well in The Ghosts of Aquinnah by Julie Flanders.
Stuck in a rut, not to mention writer's block the antagonist Hannah Forrester, travels to Martha’s Vineyard to find answers. She’s just not quite sure what the questions are, but persistence pays off, and she finds the right questions and with the proper research, uncovers a wrong that needs to be made right. Did I mention the Ghost? Stella Winslow of 1884 wants to fulfill a promise and seeks out Hannah to do it.
Will Hannah be sent to the loony bin by the friends she told that she’s seen a ghost? Will Stella lead her down a path that dead ends? Giving you those answers would just be wrong, so my advice, read the book! It’s well worth your time!
Ms. Flanders has outdone herself! Excellent, just excellent!

The Ghosts of Aquinnah is a really involving, satisfying ghost story which follows the lives of two women - Hannah, a present day writer, and Stella, a young woman in 1884 who is trapped in a loveless marriage and has a message she wants to impart. The two connect in an otherworldly way via a webcam, and Hannah has to find out who this ghostly figure is and becomes deeply drawn into her tragic life.
I really liked the interplay between the first hand accounts of the historical drama - with all its small town prejudices, gossip and scandal - and Hannah trying to piece together events in the modern day. It worked really well, and you get the sense that Stella is a soul who will not rest until a great injustice has been set right. I didn't know anything about Martha's Vineyard, so I really enjoyed all the little details that were portrayed about both eras. Just like in her Polar Night series, Flanders does an excellent job of creating a sense of place, with the island coming across as an idyllic location with beautiful sunsets, but with dark secrets lurking just below the surface.
The story does focus slightly more on the historical mystery than the present day character of Hannah, but that's okay. She's resourceful and open minded enough to pursue ideas that might seem outlandish at first, drawing parallels with Polar Night's protagonist Danny Fitzpatrick. Maybe there could be a follow up where Hannah solves further mysteries - just an idea!

This book had a lot more adventure and romance than I originally expected. There are two story lines in this book: Hannah's and Stella's. Hannah lives presently in the Boston area and Stella who exists presently in her afterlife, but lived in 1884. Hannah is about 32 in the book, stuck in a relationship with a jerk of a man. Stella is about 20 in the story of her life in 1884, stuck in an awful marriage to a man twice her age who physically and mentally abuses her.
Both of these women connect, although they cannot really communicate, based on shared life experiences.
"Once again, Hannah felt an inexorable tie to Stella. She knew exactly how it felt to lose both parents at the same time. She was just glad she had been old enough to take care of herself when her loss had happened. And that she lived in an era where an independent woman was not a rarity and a woman living on her own was considered acceptable. Stella had no such luxury" (193).
This was a book that I read through very quickly as there were small adventures that were all pieces to a bigger adventure. The romance seed was planted early on and was not rushed or out of context, it fit in perfectly, beautifully. Unfortunately, it is a tragic love story and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't devastated with the ending of Christopher's storyline.

A not-so-spookey ghost story.
In a wonderful murder mystery fashion, the ghost in this book isn't what it seems to be, at first. For Hannah, she's the first pebble in an avalanche of danger, secrets, love and redemption.
I haven't been to New England personally (yet), and a story set there sounded wonderful. After experiencing the wonderful descriptions in this story, I feel as though I've been there. It was a perfect setting for such a rich, sad love story.
I enjoyed the characters introduced, and the connections made between them. The historical aspects seemed authentic, and felt like a wonderful glimpse into the past. I wish this story had more, and know I'll visit this book many more times in the future.
I would certainly recommend it to others, and will be interested to read more from this author.

While doing research for a book, Hannah, an aspiring writer, sees a mysterious woman dressed in period clothes on a webcam. Curious, she investigates, and finds herself pulled into a tragic love story and murder that occurred more than one hundred years ago in New England's, Martha's Vineyard.
The story alternates between Hannah's current time (2013) and the ghost, Stella's time (1884). The majority of the book covers Stella's story. Readers will learn who Stella is and how her tragedy involved Christopher, an Irish immigrant. They will learn why she felt a connection with Hannah, and why it was so important to have her story told.
The Ghosts of Aquinnah paints a realistic picture of historic New England. The details are so well written and researched that the reader can clearly picture the setting. The characters have a lot of depth, as well, so it is easy to become emotionally involved with Stella and her world.

This type of book is not my usual literary fare. I'm not really into ghosts and I prefer HEAs. That said, I enjoyed this story. The author made me care for the characters and want to see them find happiness. I liked the way she alternated chapters from the present with those from the past. I also liked the forensic details.
If you're looking for a mysterious, romantic ghost story to savor on a lazy day by the beach or the fire, and you don't mind a tale of star-crossed lovers, give The Ghosts of Aquinnah a try.

I absolutely loved this book! I enjoy stories that intermingle past and present - especially where the person in the present is unraveling a mystery about the past. I was most engrossed by the love story between our ghosts, and simply could not put the book down until I knew what had become of them. Their story is real, and beautiful and tragic. And Hannah, the present day heroine is changed by what she learns about them and about herself as she commits herself to righting a long-past wrong. Love love love this book.

Sometimes, you want to be a part of something...more. That's just what Hannah gets to do in this story. True, there is love, mystery and a murder. But there's a sense of redemption so strongly sought for that as I read this, my heart thumped with great expectation as I turned one page after another.
It's a wonderful love story and a wonderful read.

But I love it so please pick it up and have a read for it is the best book I read last year. And had re read it a few time now and still love it.

Another great novel by Julie Flanders. I really enjoyed this story and seeing how the two timelines intertwined. Julie has a subtle storytelling style that draws you in and makes you curious about what's going to happen next. Really enjoyed the characters, especially Hannah. Good, satisfying read.
