Reviews
"You might find her a little creepy or kooky, maybe a bit mysterious or spooky, but one title it's hard to deny Liz Reed is the queen of the local paranormal.In her new book, "Haunted Manatee County," Reed explores the ghosts and history of what was historically Manatee County, including De Soto, Glades and Hardee counties. She said the book took about three years to research, including the research she did for The Original Downtown Bradenton Ghost Tour and it's Bradenton Beach counterpart, and two years to write." Anna Maria Island Sun
"Bradenton author Liz Reed's Haunted Manatee County was recently released by Arcadia Publishing. The book chronicles the most famous ghost stories and historical legends of our local area, making for a great read for both book lovers and enthusiasts of the supernatural alike." Bradenton Times
