First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.
There is no escaping the dead. On the slender peninsula that is Charleston, we cannot help being surrounded by them, packed as they are into ancient cemeteries behind ornate iron fencing. Beneath our streets. And under our homes and parking garages. Land is at a premium here, and it was inevitable that over the course of time the living and the dead would eventually rub elbows. Most residents of the Holy City are blissfully unaware of its former citizens who have passed on but whose names and homes we share and whose presence lingers still. Others, like me, are not so lucky.
The Guests on South Battery by Karen White
"Grandmother?" She'd been dead since I was a little girl, but it wouldn't have been the first time she called me since then. Yet I knew it wasn't her.

Precious birthday picture! I've meant to try this series of books for a long time. Assuming this is the latest?
A very happy birthday to the little one!
Love the birthday photo so adorable! I love the Charleston setting and think I would enjoy this one :)
Intriguing - the cover is so charming, yet the description hints at the dark underside. I'd keep reading!

Happy Birthday to Nora! So adorable. :-)
I really enjoy Karen White's writing and the setting of this series, so I would keep reading based on that alone. Thank you for sharing, Nise'!
Never heard of this series but the synopsis caught my interest. Will check it out.

Kathy Reads Fiction just recommended this series to me this week :) I told her I definitely plan to read it, but want to start with the first book. Hope this one is good for you. And Nora is gorgeous-- give her a hug from us!

I was wondering about this one and do like the intro. Hope you are enjoying this one.
I like a good ghost story that is not too scary. Looks like a good one!
