Although she's ready to remodel her cozy Victorian fixer-upper, known as Buttercup Cottage, the locals' strange behavior is a mystery and none of the contractors will work with her, except a feisty and fashionable newcomer willing to take a chance on her.
But Ivy's first night in Buttercup Cottage is a nightmare starring the ghost of a wailing woman. Ivy can't shake the feeling that her nightmare was more than just a vision. The reality of living with a terrifying ghost could ruin her dream of a magical midlife re-invention.
The local tea shop owner seems helpful -- too helpful -- but even she seems secretive when she mentions that Ivy has a gift. What gift? A gift for picking loser husbands is the only gift she possesses.
And who is the handsome mystery man hanging around Buttercup Cottage? Is the the one leaving threatening notes in her mailbox? Or is he the partner she's always dreamed of?
Ivy has to face down a ghost, a greedy ex-husband, and a town full of skeptics to make her dream a reality. Otherwise, every penny of her inheritance will be wasted and she'll have to admit she can't make it on her own.
It's not until Ivy realizes she doesn't have to do it alone that her story looks like it might have a happy ending.
Praise for The Haunting of Ivy May
"This is the second of Basile's books that I've read and I feel like it was better than my first read. It felt more developed with stronger characters. I really enjoyed Ivy's and Izzy's friendship. I loved a cast of strong female characters that worked together and supported each other.
And honestly, I loved the ending. And I always appreciate when the author provides content warnings, always. I tend to not read them as I don't like any type of spoiler at all and I know them to be very beneficial for those that would like to prepare themselves." - Christina, Goodreads
Trigger Warning: This paranormal women's fiction is a haunted cozy mystery, and therefore doesn't include any overtly brutal, graphic, violent, or traumatizing material. However, people who are easily triggered by their past experiences may wish to read with caution. I don't want to be specific here because the warning would give away the mystery. Please know the issue is a small part of the story; it is handled with respect; and it is "healed" before the book ends.

About the author

Award-winning author Nancy Basile grew up in the hills of West Virginia, scraping her knees, and dreaming about becoming a writer who lives on a houseboat, traveling up and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
She thought she was missing out on "the world," she so moved to L.A. for a bit, then Cleveland. But eventually those hills came a'callin'. Like another brunette from the middle of nowhere, she realized there's no place like home.
Now, she's bringing West Virginia to life in the pages of the River Sutton Mysteries. In 2022, she won The BookFest award for LGBTQ Mystery for "A Fatal Fumble," and took 2nd place for both Cozy Mystery and Amateur Sleuth.

Ivy divorces her husband and buys a house unseen in Mistwick, WV. Her first night in the broken down home, she is chased by a wailing ghost. Unable to find a contractor to help restore her new home, she plans to sell only to change her mind when the tea shop owner tells her she knows someone to help. She meets Izzy and together they begin to fix the house. Ivy is chased away from the house with injuries to both her and Izzy. What could the ghost possibly want?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The haunting was scary, the characters well written and the ending beautiful. I hope that the author is planning to make this a series.
