My review:
Trifles and Folly is a book of novellas and short stories. And so far this is my favorite book I have read this year. I love how Gail Martin not only brings a book filled with haunted artifacts, but there is also history. The history is real the people in the history are not but she tells a great story with both fiction and non fiction intertwined. This book is a clean read, there is no strong language and no sex. One of the stories does mention a rape but no details at all. There are 9 stories in this book, and 3 bonus stories where you learn more or Sorren's Story.
Amanda Ronconi narrates the audiobook. I have to admit I love her. I have listened to several books she has narrated and she is amazing. She brings so much to this book. I would of enjoyed this book no matter who narrated it but with Amanda narrating it it was a huge bonus.
Cassidy Kincaide owns her families 350 year old business which to the world looks like a Antique shop. But it is actually a shop where they take in haunted and cursed objects and either make them safe for resale or do away with them so no harm can come to anyone else.
Along with Cassidy is her business partner Teag Logan who is also has Weaver magic and Sorren a 600 year old Vampire. Cassidy is a psychometric, which means she can read objects. Together the 3 do their best to gather haunted objects and then "unhaunt" them.
I have to say my favorite story in this book is The Restless Dead. A piece of on old sewing machine comes to the shop. The story is about the flood and hurricane that hit in the late 1800's. A group of Irish indentured women work in a Sewing factory to pay off their debt. When the hurricane hits the everyone in the building dies due to the doors being locked and no one having a key to open it. The story may be made up but even the made up parts of the story brings a lot of history and I do love history as well as "ghosty" things.
