The Haunting of Hattie Hastings
(The Haunting of Hattie Hastings #1)
by Audrey Davis
Hattie Hating is a happy average woman, married to Gary who is currently unemployed or better say on a break, they have their son Johnny who has recently quit his university, claiming it has strangling his creativity.
On a night, Hattie comes home, walks to the kitchen, and sees a huge mess created by Johnny, talking to herself she tries to clean the remaining of the disaster her son made in there. Gary walks in and offer to help and take out the bin and ask her to go to bed. Hattie is brushing her teeth and looking at her tired face in the mirror thinking her life could be worst. She loves her husband and her son. Her mum, her brother and Cat, her best friend are all there for her to rely on so life is good, she is thinking. Then suddenly she hears a very loud noise and next thing she knew; she was at the hospital weeping over her dead husband. this is when her life is changed forever.
That night Gary was killed in an accident outside their house, but he doesn’t want to go, and he comes back to haunt Hattie. He seems to show up at the worst and most inappropriate times to haunt her.it is as if before Hattie can cope with his death , he is back and she doesn’t know how to let Johnny, her family and Cat know about it.
This is Audrey Davis’s book one of the series. Reading this book, I was constantly alternating between tears of sadness and joy. I enjoyed Hattie and Cat’s friendship very much. I liked that the story was told by different narrators (Cat, Hattie, and others). A multifaceted story with a good paced to engage the reader.
This story made me laugh and cry, the characters were very well developed, and I was able to connect with them all through the book. I recommend it to those who enjoy reading about a very normal woman and all her humor and sarcasm.
