SNEAK PEEK: The Haunted
by Danielle Vega
Very short sneak peek, but very frightening, giving the best of teases about the story to come. The Haunted house seems to be very dangerous, and i wonder if the main character was a teen mom.
I will have to see how the book goes
I have read some of Danielle Vega's other books but didn't know she had published more. After reading this preview, I plan on picking up the whole book. Yeah a new girl moving into a haunted house has been done before, but I'm excited to see where this goes.
Hendricks moves to a new town with her parents for unknown reasons and finds out their house, which gives her the creeps, was the scene of two murders threeyears ago. Along with another student, they try to stop the hauntings. There were creepy scenes and I liked the mystery of why Hendricks moved to town.
I only read a few chapter preview, but what I've read so far seems pretty stereotypical of a teen-haunted-house-etc book. I can't say I'm super drawn in enough to seek out the full book. New girl moves to town, has a "tragic" secret, gets involved with school popular kids because she's "effortlessly pretty" since she's thin, blond, and tan . Sounds like a formula book that I've read a million times, unfortunately.
Good quick read! Danielle Vega doesn’t disappoint with this creepy read. Hendricks is looking for a fresh start but little does she’s moving into the towns haunted house, she quickly learns something is wrong with the house and it’s dark history
This story feels like a traditional ghost/haunted house story with a twist: Hendricks and her family have moved to Drearfield. New York, to start over after she suffered earlier traumatic events. A clean slate in a new town, a new school, a new home ... which, if local legends are true, has a chilling past. I only read the sample but this book starts out strong with spine tingling past and present events involving the mysterious and abandoned house Hendricks and her family have purchased. There's more than horror here, what mysteries abound in Hendricks' past and what dark secrets lay await for her to discover?
I received a copy of this sampler from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, this little bit of the book is creepy as all get out and i cannot wait to read the rest of it. I love a good creepy house story and this one is really well-written! I can't wait to find out what happens to Hendricks next!
Thankyou for the opportunity to read this sampler of The Haunted by Danielle Vega in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I was hooked from the start. Even in the first couple of pages, you are drawn into the story.
Certainly can't wait to read the book in its entirety.
This book has been on my TBR list for awhile now. Danielle Vega is an excellent horror writer, and after reading Survive the Night, I am eager to finally start The Haunted. I love reading teen horror in the summer, and with this new cover reveal and the sequel The Unleashed coming out on July 7th, this seems like the perfect opportunity to dive in!
