I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and Llewellyn Publications in exchange for a fair and honest review. Thank you!!! :) I enjoy reading paranormal books. I have since I was a child. This doesn't mean that I blindly believe in every supernatural account without any proper scientific investigation. I think I read these books because it's a great way to learn the folklore of an area, and a bit of the history of the city, state, country you reside in or are visiting. It is from this stand point I approached this book. The author described the background of the hotel she and her husband investigated and wrote about the ghosts associated it each area. She also gave some of her feelings about the particular hotel and any occurrences that may have happened to her while there. The author's husband "Bob" then voices his point of view on the investigation. The stories and history are interesting but the authors "feelings", "insights" and thought on the actual hauntings are hard for the reader to quantify. Descriptions of the experiments carried out really aren't reported in any detail. The rooms, basements, buildings, etc aren't given any kind of a description of the type of atmosphere they had. A story has to be created. These things are needed to compensate for the fact that the reader is unable to physically be present. The book reads like a tourist information booklet. Airports , pricing and tour prices are included. (Although this is a preview copy and needs further editing.) I enjoyed reading this book and learning a piece of history of the places I have yet to visit. But I wish there had been a bit more detail and scientific procedure described in its pages.
