The Flip, by
Michael Phillip Cash, is the story of a young couple, Julie and Brad, trying to
supplement their income by flipping houses.
Brad is also a little lost following his military service and isn’t sure
what he wants to do with his future. The latest flip is a house that is a
little more work than usual due to the age of the house and its invisible
inhabitants, two Civil War era ghosts. There
were also some other entities in the home that weren’t very well explained, but
they seemed to be more in control of the two ghosts, Gerald and Tessa.
The story does go back in time to explain the lives of the
two before they became ghosts. Tessa was a woman of low moral character in
life, and her aggressive attentions toward men continue in her afterlife. The interaction of the ghosts and the real
life couple cause even more strife in their relationship.
This isn’t a terrifying ghost story because it relies
heavily on relationships rather than an intense paranormal story. It is a quick
and enjoyable read with interesting characters, both alive and dead.
