The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater | Jaime Jo Wright
6 posts | 3 read
It promises beauty but steals life instead. Will the ghosts of Barlowe Theater entomb them all? Barlowe Theater stole the life of Greta Mercy's eldest brother during its construction. Now in 1915, the completed theater appears every bit as deadly. When Greta's younger brother goes missing after breaking into the building, Greta engages the assistance of a local police officer to help her unveil the already ghostly secrets of the theater. But when help comes from an unlikely source, Greta decides that to save her family she must uncover the evil that haunts the theater and put its threat to rest. Decades later, Kit Boyd's best friend vanishes during a ghost walk at the Barlowe Theater, and old stories of mysterious disappearances and ghoulish happenings are revived. Then television ghost-hunting host and skeptic Evan Fisher joins Kit in the quest to identify the truth behind the theater's history. Kit reluctantly agrees to work with him in hopes of finding her missing friend. As the theater's curse unravels Kit's life, she is determined to put an end to the evil that has marked the theater and their hometown for the last century.

I was really surprised by the ghost story angle this took. I wasn't quite expecting that to be in here. I really enjoyed the story. The characters were amazing. They really drew me in and made the story so engaging. The narrators also brought the story to life.

This is a mystery with a ghost story feel. Set in dual timelines (1915 and present day), the Barlowe Theater has a history of tragic/strange events occurring within its walls…from deaths, disappearances and possible ghostly visitations. Kit Boyd is trying to save her best friend and separate fact from fiction by examining events from the 1915 disappearances of 3 young boys in the theater. This is suspenseful, and the spooky theater 🔻

robinb atmosphere is done very well. There is an out-of-the-blue plot/character twist that is a bit jarring and for me not as developed as maybe it should have been. I also became frustrated at times with Kit. I felt her insecurities and trust issues were somewhat overdone. However, I did like how the element of faith was included in the story. Well-written and good balance/info from both timelines. A soft pick for me. 3.5/5⭐️ 7mo
