Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor

Product Information

I don’t know this guy and this isn’t a sponsorship,” says Jerrad Swearenjin in the on-screen text of his now-viral TikTok. I feel it’s important to give an honest review and include a few content warnings to help parents decide if their child should read this as the intended age range feels like 13+. I had many other books to get through before this one, yet I started the book right away and on my, this book is brilliant. There is also a typo, (the instead of they), which is a personal pet peeve of mine and probably doesn't bother other readers.

And without revealing anything, I particularly liked the twist at the end -- totally unexpected and made the supernatural element shine. Following his viral popularity, Warner is scheduling additional book signings in the Dallas area to meet the popular demand for his book. In the past, I have been a paratrooper (82nd Airborne Division), a therapist working with children (Master of Science, Social Work), and an engineer (Bachelor of Science, Computer Science and Engineering).

Five stars for me has to hit ever check mark - I question if these reviews are from people who have actually read the book themselves rather then following the main stream hype.

A 19 yo girl decides to go skinny dipping in front of 16 yo main character regardless of MC’s comfort level. There are a few editing issues in this novel, but I really enjoyed the plot and imagine there might be a sequel with Leigh’s character. By popular demand, Warner’s publisher is now working to release both hardcover and audiobook versions of the novel. Overall, I was excited at face value to read the book and support the author, but I think it's important that I put this out there even among the glowing reviews for this book.As a husband and father of two, Warner accomplished everything he wanted to in life except becoming an author.

As a result of his service, Warner got into skydiving, SCUBA, bungee jumping, martial arts, and guitar. I also learned from videos that it was kid friendly, so I've been reading it aloud to my oldest (who is almost 10). It wasn't well written, didn't feel like a ghost story (or a murder mystery for that matter), has some creepy undertones, and just didn't sit well with me. With new family and friends, which includes a ghost with multiple personality issues, Leigh risks everything to find her answers.It also felt like a Scooby Doo episode where the bad guy, having the characters dead to rights, pauses to dialogue about their plan, conveniently giving the characters a chance to regroup and thwart the plan.

However, after the TikTok creator posted a video of Warner's book signing on his page, sales went through the roof. If this literary genius doesn't continue to grace us with their brilliant storytelling, I might shed a tear or two.
