'This spine-chilling tale was the scariest book I've read in a long time!'
Milton Lake was just a run-of-the mill, sleepy American town...with rumours of paranormal mysteries and hauntings around every corner! Everyone knew they were just tales though - or were they?
Emma Rhodes is still mourning the death of her younger brother, when, in the middle of the night, the strange Harvey Dowd moves into the deserted house opposite. Through a macabre twist of fate he confides a chilling truth to her - a cult called the Circle has been using the infamous Ghost Machine to summon many spirits into the town, helping to explain many recent spooky goings-on. Harvey (or is he Harvey?) is here to stop the mortal world from forever being flooded with hundreds of spirits but can he find the perpetrators before it's too late? And will Emma ever view people in the same way again?
This spine-chilling tale was the scariest book I've read in a long time! It was gripping from beginning to end with so many unexpected twists that you are constantly having to deal with the whole plot being turned on its head! As for the ending...it's completely unforgettable!
Though a great page-turner and utterly terrifying, I don't think Haunted is set to become a classic of the horror genre as it's decidedly plot-centred and rather lacks rich description. However, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you read it at Halloween like I did! Be warned though - certainly not a bedtime read!
