The Crane Diaries: Homecoming (The Crane Diaries #1) by Apryl Baker - Starting February 7th 2020

New Orleans is a city known for its paranormal history—and it’s the place Emma Rose Crane, AKA Mattie Hathaway, has come home to.

She hopes she can start over in New Orleans, where her ability to see ghosts isn't so freaky. She’s even starting college, but the whole thing would be a lot easier if she weren’t faced with a family she barely knows, all while dealing with the loss of someone she loved.

Can she really escape her past and be semi-normal? Even with her sister Mary and best friend Eric by her side, it's going to be a wild ride once she agrees to help Mary's new friends investigate a "haunted" house.

The house’s new occupants are terrified, and the ghost seems to be attacking their little girl, leaving everyone desperate for answers. Emma isn’t sure what to think when she discovers Dr. Lawrence Olivet was also invited to investigate.

Will her gifts be enough to save the family that is currently being stalked in their own home? And when some of her own family’s long-kept secrets come to light, will her fresh start be over before it even begins?

(view spoiler)[ So Mary likes a ghost hunter wannabe lol. Definitely sounds like the child has attracted something. I can't believe that her and the Doc are in the same room again. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ OMG her brother has found her. I wonder who this will go? I'm glad that not all the ghosts are soft and fluffy as I'm used to horror now. (hide spoiler)]

64%

(view spoiler)[ It seems like everyone is accepting her brother well considering there families have always seemed to be enemies. (hide spoiler)]

finished

(view spoiler)[ Yet another great book but I felt that the horror has been dulled down slightly. Maybe Silas being humanized so we have lost a threat I'm not sure. (hide spoiler)]

30% (view spoiler)[ I'm so happy to be back with these characters lol. I mean it'd be nice if Dan was around but I get this is Mattie's time to grow up and be on her own for a bit. I was happy when Uncle Silas popped in. It's crazy how multi faceted his character is, I mean one second he's there saving Mattie by adding another tattoo, the next he's ripping out her soul and then cooking her food because she's hungry lol. Also I love that she now has a hellhound, I'm looking forward to her being around a lot I mean what a unique storyline, I bet she'll come in handy as she's SUPER protective of Mattie. Lastly I have to appreciate the irony of Mattie tournig a house with Ghosthunters lol, they have no idea! (hide spoiler)]

64% (view spoiler)[That's so weird her brother showed up out of the blue, wonder if he can be trusted and what his end game is. Also why do we keep getting a evil spirit that foes after babies or kids lol, it's like a trend, but I'm hoping this isn't another fallen angel. (hide spoiler)]

89% (view spoiler)[Still don’t know if we can trust her brother. Also I’m worried he knows all her talents and even saw the picture come to life with her blood, he can do anything with that information. But damn if his freaking out over the clown being thrown at him didn’t make me laugh 😂😂🤡 (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[So like not much happened, think the most exciting thing was meeting her brother. The whole ghost situation was built up so much and compared to some of the others they ran in to, this one was kinda tame lol. I’m glad Dan out his claim on her, I can’t wait to see them together together. It is weird now though without Eli 😭😭 (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Ok glad I’m not alone. I loved and enjoyed the book don’t get me wrong but it was kind of dull in comparison. I mean we get her brother and then dan claiming her which were big things. Aside from that the buildup on the ghost made her seem horrible and this huge threat and then it turned out to not be so hard lol I can’t wait to see where her inspiration leads. Thinking about her own YouTube channel or maybe detective agency, I’m sure her dad can help fund anything too...Really glad that her story wasn’t over. (hide spoiler)]
