Review: Restless Spirits By Kathy Bryson

Marilee Harper is desperate to find another job after she accidentally set fire to the home of the richest woman in town. Converting an old hospital into a B&B seems like a golden opportunity. But fixtures turn themselves off and on, and old baseballs fly without help. Stressed and aggravated, Marilee wants nothing more than to redeem herself, even if it means hands off her sympathetic boss!

John Smith has every confidence in the bossy, strong woman he hired. She handled difficult customers at the bank and now she’s handling electricity and plumbing and whatever unseen force keeps throwing baseballs. Who can blame him if he starts to admire the woman in more than strictly professional terms? But when the angry, treacherous King of the Fairies shows up, can Marilee become his champion?

Marilee Harper has lead an interesting life. After setting fire to her best friend’s house, Marilee keeps waiting to be fired from her bank job. One evening, Marilee finds herself at a job interview set up by her mother… An interview she was neither expecting nor prepared for, and she ends up hitting her prospective boss with her car after arguing with her mother. Marilee ends up getting the job, which puts her in charge of overseeing the renovations of an old sanitarium into a bed and breakfast… A building that appears to be haunted. Marilee quickly discovers that a haunted B&B is the least of her worries.I enjoyed this book, once I was able to fully get into it. The arguments between Marilee and her mother, while very authentic, made me a bit uncomfortable at the beginning. When they finally started getting along better, my enjoyment of the book dramatically improved. I felt that the climax of the book seemed rushed and I may need to re-read the novel to get a better feel for what actually happened, and the writing is good enough that I’m willing to do that. I really enjoyed the characters and dialogue in the book and look forward to reading other books by this author.
