Tipsy Collins , a recently divorced , ghost whisperer , mother of three and ex-wife of Ayers one nasty character has moved into her Brother In Laws house. Now the house is beautiful and a place to get her back on her feet but for one teeny tiny problem, it is inhabited by two married ghosts Jane and Henry Mott who have haunted the house for almost a century and did I mention that they hate each other? Yes that's the case because Jane is convinced that Henry killed her.
This book hit all of my marks, set in Charleston, a mystery involved and full of charming characters that I loved. Tipsy can see ghosts and seeks out some of them to solve the mystery of how Jane and Henry died. Tipsy becomes completely immersed in Jane and Henry's lives while they were alive and begins having visions of certain scenes in their lives when Jane and Henry were still alive. I loved the 1920's references and the small town feel of this book. There are a few sub plots involving Tipys's friends and sister in law which I thought worked nicely in this book and the sub characters are a story unto themselves. Tipys's ex Ayers is one character that I absolutely hated, he did everything he could to make Tipsy's life a misery including threatening to take her three children away from her. Through all of this Tipsy will persevere.
This book is going on my list of favorite books read in 2020. I love Stephanie Alexander's writing style and her ability to weave a very good story that kept me thoroughly immersed in this book.This review was originally posted on Cindy’s Book Stacks

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve lived near Charleston for a long time so it was very enjoyable to read about places I’m familiar with. I love recognizing scenes. This book is VERY Charleston! I loved the story too and the supernatural elements. I love me a good ghost story! I can’t wait to read the second book in this series and I hope she comes out with more!

Charleston Green is a story about recently divorced single mom Tipsy, with an ability to communicate with the ghosts. The story itself is funny, clever and relatable. Tipsy helps the ghosts in her childhood home to go into the light, and the ghosts make Tipsy rediscover her talent as an artist. The ending was really lovely! Easy to understand language, funny even with the ghosts involved. Was really surprised about Carolina’s divorce laws!!
Thank you NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and Stephenie Alexander for reader’s copy of the book. The review is my own and was not influenced in any way.

This book has been one of my favorites for the year. It is a perfect summer read and it has a great, almost whimsical vibe to it. There is a lot of ups and downs that relate to real life events. I really enjoyed the writing in this and although it may be silly I also appreciated the print and size of the book as well. I liked the mystery aspects of this book just as much as the day to day life parts. My only complaint would be how the author discussed parts with the children. She seemed to have a tendency that the times that the children were involved in the story they were almost always doing the same things or the mom was taking them somewhere or just putting them to bed. I think the author could have elaborated a little bit more on motherhood for the novel but overall I really enjoyed it.

This was a fun read, a great main character in tipsy, a good mystery, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected, only criticism was it was a little slow to start. But a well w, thought out entertaining book

Charleston Green by Stephanie Alexander
Available Now
This was such a fun novel. I absolutely LOVE Charleston, SC so when I saw this book available I HAD to read it. It was breeze to read! I devoured it in one weekend and the author placed me right in Charleston at all my favorite spots!
The main character is Tipsy Collins post divorce. She is a talented artist, stuck in a rut, moving into a plantation house with her children. I loved Tipsy’s 2 friends, they cracked me up. I hated her vindictive, sneaky ex and was thrilled when she found a new guy to date. This book has a full cast of fun, southern, characters that I enjoyed!
The other thing about Tipsy is that she is clairvoyant. She can see and talk to ghosts and this new house of hers…it has two loud and bothersome ghosts, Jane and Henry Mott. These ghosts are stuck in the house, unable to move on, and they fight daily because Jane is certain that Henry murdered her and then killed himself. Henry vehemently denies killing Jane and Tipsy realizes that she must help them figure out what happened the day the both died a century ago. As Tipsy tries to solve the mystery, the strain and stress of it all takes a toll on her health.
This was a great book, that provided me the perfect escape to Charleston, since our yearly visit was cancelled by COVID. I connected with Tipsy, laughed a lot, and became obsessed with discovering what happened to Jane and Henry! Easily a 5 star read for me! I loved everything about it!!
Thank you @stephaniealexaanderbooks @gallavator and @katerockbooktours for my advanced copy of the book!

Tipsy, a gifted artist, cannot ignore her nutty friends or her vindictive ex-husband, but as a lifelong reluctant clairvoyant, she's always avoided dead people. When Tipsy and her three children move into the house on Bennett Street, she realizes some ghosts won't be ignored.
I loved this cast of characters! Gypsy's friends Shelby and Lindsey made me laugh as they dealt with their relationships and stuck by Typsy's side when dealing with her Ex. The ghost Jane and Henry have a love hate relationship that Typsy tries to solve. If you like paranormal stories with mystery and romance, you will like Charleston Green. Thank you @ @stephaniealexanderbooks and @katerockbooktours for an ebook to read and this is my honest review.

Entertaining paranormal mystery with a difference
Tipsy is in the middle of a nasty divorce and trying to support her 3 children on minimum wage. She moves in to a abandoned house owned by her brother in law and finds it infested with a pair of ghosts, Henry and Jane. Rumors say Henry killed Jane then in a murder-suicide. Tipsy trys to solve the long ago murder to bring peace to the ghosts. In the process, she's able to bring closure to her own marriage. This book straddles the genres of Paranormal Cozy Mystery and Paranormal Women's Fiction. The way Tipsy works through her issues and learns how to stand up to the bullies in her life was a pleasure to read. A bonus was the lush descriptions of Charleston. The author's love for the city clearly came through in the writing.
