The Banyan Tree Awakens — Joani Lacy

From the moment Eve Hollister stepped into Hollister House, her family's ancient Victorian home, she felt welcome. Even the banyan tree in the yard held an unexpected feeling of kinship. Eve's initial sensations were wrong, though, and things went badly as the ghosts of Hollister House came out to play and threatened the lives of every Hollister in Mississippi. But that was then; this is now, and the old Victorian is free-finally-of evil. In Hollister House: The Banyan Tree Awakens, return to the mystical American South, rife with ghosts and dark magic. Eve finally feels safe and secure in her family home, and it seems that nothing can go wrong again. And yet, against all odds, the spirits of Hollister House are not really at rest; they merely wait for the right moment to return and attack. The women of the Hollister clan must band together to fight an unseen foe that longs to embrace Eve in its cold clutches once again. They must hope to be victorious twice against the powerful spirits of the beyond. Will their family magic be enough, or will New Orleans voodoo join the fray? Nothing is ever certain in haunted Hollister House-not even the bonds of blood.
