Nobody's Home: A Tarker's Hollow Tale (Tales from Tarker's Hollow Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 42 ratings

The monsters in the woods are nothing compared to the one that haunts the house...


Adia Booth has a dubious gift she has always tried to ignore, losing herself instead in books, and in service to others through her work as a real estate agent. When she finds herself alone after dark at Ogden Manor, the broken down mansion her colleagues claim is haunted, she is terrified to find a man in the house. Though his devastating beauty enthralls her, Adia is convinced it is her destiny to die in his arms. So why isn’t she afraid?

William Henry Ogden has tried to slake his guilt at the throats of young women from London to Copenhagen, all to no avail. After a century of wanton debauchery he has returned to the old family estate in Pennsylvania with only one thing in mind – cease feeding on human blood in order to end his immortality – and go down with the rotting house. The irresistible scent of the young woman who unexpectedly visits the estate at night awakens his thirst, but her blue-eyed gaze stirs something deeper. Wracked with guilt, yet half-crazed with lust, William struggles to restrain his hunger for the girl with the uncanny gift. But when the moon rises, will his desire to protect Adia from what waits in the woods outmatch his determination to stay hungry?

Originally published as part of the Taming the Vampire collection. (No longer available.)

What a fantastic, page-turner that will leave you craving more! Tasha Black does it again with another contemporary PNR fiction must read! "Nobody's Home" is an awesome return to Tarker's Hollow with a new and different storyline, smoldering hot & sexy scenes, great attention to detail & some new characters that kept me glued to my seat not wanting to stop! *Warning* Must wear gloves & have a fire extinguisher handy when reading this sexy short story ;) lol ... I highly recommend this to all Adult 18+ fans of fiction, especially those who love paranormal and fantasy!

     Can this lady write or what? The story itself is very well-written this was a fantastic, put together Ms. Tasha's characters that are always matched together beautifully. Best of all too we go back to Tarker’s Hollow. Yep, everything is magnificent, no matter what the season is at Tarker’s Hollow.
      Adia Booth who doesn't date, she was a twenty-six years old virgin, with a special power. All she ever does is work at a Real Estate Office and read books. She dreams about the lover that will come for her one day just like in the books she reads that are HEA. One of the houses that she showed is Ogden Manor, which needs major repair. It's supposed to be haunted but when she was their with a client it wasn't haunted or was it? Leaving her phone at the house she had to go back in the dark, that's  when things started to happen that she could not explain.
      William Ogden has been missing for centuries, you see William is a Vampire. He lost everything that night he was turned everything that he cherished, everything that he loved and now he was back at this Manor that's falling to pieces, with the hope that he'll die with it. Than one day when he couldn't move he smelt the most intoxicating sent.
     A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

It feels unresolved. I feel as if something's missing from this story. I've never given fewer than 4 stars before but this story didn't do it for me. Surprising for a Tasha Black. I'm still a fan.

Nobody’s Home: A Tarker’s Hollow Tale is written by Tasha Black. It is a standalone vampire book set in Tarkers Hallow. Aida Booth has a special gift that allows her to get a glimpse of things from the past. She tries to disconnect herself from this gift by reading and working as a real estate agent. William Henry Ogden is part of the past. After a century of running around the world causing havoc and all sorts of debauchery William’s guilt does not let him find peace. So, he returns to his family home to end his life. However, the sweet smell of Aida’s blood calls to him like no other.

Tasha Black once again takes her reader’s on an unexpected journey. Although, the HEA is expected the path this story takes is a nice surprise. It is a quick and lovely read that is full of passion, love, and some sexy scenes. I recommend this book if you are looking for a bit of romance!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016
Ms. Black has returned us to Tarker's Hollow for another tale of romance, immortality, danger and of course, steam. Once again she proves that love and beauty are only skin deep.

Adia Booth works for Tarker's Hollow Realty, she is a very good and dedicated agent, but that is about all her life revolves around, working, reading and that darn thing that happens every time she touches someone. Then a strange thing happens to her when she goes to show the old Ogden House that is crumbling, but on the market non the less. She sees it in all it's glory like it used to be, but more than that she feels eyes on her. Little does she know she is in the sights of it's owner, the good looking man in the ancient black & white photo. And that she is about to become a resident of Ogden House

William the only survivor of the horrible fire at Ogden House resides below the house thinking himself a monster. He is about to meet a sweet girl that will open his eyes to the truth of what happened those hundreds of years before. Beauty is about to tame the beast..

I can't wait to read the next book in this new Tarker's Hollow series. Oh and remember to get those hoses out LoL

This is a stand alone novella set in the town of Tarker's Hollow from the Curse Off The Alpha series. Aida is a Real Estate Agent and shows a Mansion named Ogden Manor. While showing the rundown Manor Aida begins to see visions of the way it looked centuries before which was absolutely beautiful. After leaving Aida realized that she forgot her cell phone and has to return to the Manor, in the dark the Manor seems to hold a secret.
William is the son of the family that built Ogden Manor, when he meets a beautiful red haired woman at one of the parties his parents held he is enchanted by her and willingly follows her into the woods. Once alone with her William knows his life will never be same because she's a Vampire who bites him and leaves him for dead. William is dead now but not completely, he's now a Vampire himself. William hides away in the Manor 100's of years later wishing for actual death until he meets Aida when she returns for her phone. William and Aida quickly have a bond neither thought was possible. Can William right the wrongs of his past and will Aida open her heart to William?
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017
Although set in Tarkers Hollow, this story has a completely different feeling than the rest of them. Ms. Black dips into yet another paranormal species, has you wrestle with the vagaries of time travel, mixes in a dash of bloody murder, and all that surrounded by a sensual love story.
At the end you feel satisfied, but then you start wondering. How did that work, how did they do that? Is there a reliable source to explain this phenomenon? Argh!!!
This is one you can have endless discussions about!
