Another home run for Alexandria Clarke!
Loved this book about a couple that flip houses for a living but bite off more than they can chew when they buy the Winchester house. The Winchesters died 40 years ago and some them haven't left the house. They struggle to find out what the ghosts want and at the same time try to come to grips with the loss of their own daughter a few years earlier. I don't want to given any spoilers out but if you like haunted house mysteries, you will love this book.
I could not put this book down. You have to read this.I rate a 5 plus!
I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a touching,scary, humorous, well written book .It has a great ending.
Great Boxed Set
One story was my favorite, however I enjoyed them all and found this to be a great boxed set. I look forward to more from this author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Haunting of Daisy Dawkins boxset.
Excellent writing, on toes fright, great mystery, just wonderful, hard to put down, enjoyed every minute of it. Second book was amazing.
Loved this boxset.
I started reading The Haunting of Daisy Dawkins boxset, and couldn't put it down until I had finished reading both books. Ms Clarke has a way of writting description that made me feel I could envision what was happening, and I felt I knew the characters personally. I would recommend this box set to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. I hope to be reading more of Clarke's books.
An interesting mystery. Very interesting book
Many twists and turns to keep you guessing. Everything works out well in the end. All the problems are solved.
It really spoke to me.
I totally related to Daisy's situation, writer's block compounded by trying to move forward after a traumatic event. The ongoing story of the "haunting" made the entire story impossible to put down. I know I"ll be going back and reading it again!
Two terrific novels !
Book one was a nice warm-up for the second offering, which knocked it out of the park for characters who were relatable, horrors that felt believable, and an ending that wrapped it all up while leaving the reader with much to ponder about life, death, and love that lives on. I recommend the set!
Great
Excellent story and narration Daisy has writers block and goes to the island of a publishing guru, getting a lot more than she thought. Have read these, and now with the audio added to the stories, the tension and character of Daisy came thru, well done. Given audio for my voluntary review
Whats a writer
This was so interesting it kept you on the edge of seat, you also learn how a writer gets the material they need and what they have to do to prepare themselves to write, get ideas. This really enlighten me to these things. Enjoyed 10+.

Many words. Little substance.
This book could have benefitted from a good editor. Chapters should have been paragraphs, paragraphs should have been sentences. Good story but way too wordy.
Thrilling
Page turning stories on haunted houses! Get ready to snuggle in for hours of entertaining tales of ghosts! This box set will keep you up for quite a few sleepless nights! Enjoyed reading!
What Fun!
I loved both of the books in this set. They hold vastly different characters and plots, which makes them even better. Both move quickly and keep you engaged throughout.
If you only read one, read the Winchester story!
The Daisy Dawkins book was a good read, but the ending felt rushed to me which was disappointing. The second Winchester book, however, was even better! Overall, it was very entertaining. I enjoyed them.
Good read
Kept you captivated, enjoyed the mystery portion along with the haunting. Would recommend reading this story, well written. Enjoy it
Great read
I enjoyed reading this book so much. It kept my attention and flowed really well. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys this genre.
Love both books
The haunting of daisy Dawkins was well written, well thought out plot, fully developed characters; the same with the Winchester haunting. I enjoyed them both immensely.
Excellent paranormal mysteries
Two enjoyable stand alone books, not a series. Well worth the time to read them! It was hard to put them down!
This was the best book I have read in awhile. Kept my interest and was fast paced. I would recommend it to old and young alike.
It kept my interest and was a clean book. I think this book should be in schools and the best seller list.
Entertaining and insightful
Couldn't put the story down. Surprises, love, human and eretheral understanding. Characters are good and the ending better than expected.
A Different Paranormal Read
I wasn’t sure when I began reading but learned to love the characters. Unusual storyline but a book that was hard to put down.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I could input it down because I wanted to see what would happen next.
I enjoyed reading this book. I have read other books by this author and Thursday be the best one I have read.
Great read
Loved, loved this book. A whole new concept for a ghost story. Won’t say more. It’s a definite read. Great story and great characters.
Like
Great
Exciting
Excellent entertainment
One of the best books I’ve read in awhile!!!
Truly page turner! I couldn’t put it down. Clarke is a great writer and I look forward to more of her work!
Intriguing Whodunit!
This book is well-written, free of grammatical errors, and is especially intriguing...I couldn't put it down because the true murderer was not revealed until the very last.
Absolutely thrilling
I could not put this book down till I finished it!! It held my interest the entire length till the conclusion! I thoroughly enjoyed this genre because of this well written fast moving thriller.
Avid ghost reader
I loved both books. Definitely kept me on their edge of my seat. Had a lot of twists and turns. Look forward to reading more of her books.
Awesome
It kept you interested and trying to guess what was going to happen and it kept getting better and a real page turner,great book!
The haunting of Winchester mansion
Best ghost story I have ever read. Sat in my library for a while before I got to it, couldn't put it down.
mystery & interesting twists
The Haunting of Coyote Island is a well written story filled with mystery, suspense, secrets and interesting twists. The writing is descriptive, the story is interesting and the characters are well developed. The Haunting of Winchester Mansion is a well written, suspenseful thriller and I could not put this book down until the last page. The story is descriptive, interesting and with so many twists and turns. Loved that Bodhi and Bailey are house flippers. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this box set.
