This first Isle of Palms book had a lot going on! From some mystery, suspense, romance, and some paranormal elements, there's something for everyone.
I enjoyed getting to know the characters (some likeable, some downright despicable), and the setting definitely got my attention.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I thought it would be a nice paranormal read, but it ended up being a book filled with dramatic and kind of useless characters. Also, the whole plot felt redundant.

Having lived in the south, I love books set in the low country of South Carolina. This is my first Stephanie Edwards book and won't be my last. I loved the plot and the characters. They are well developed and believable. I was hooked from the beginning.

The only downside, I feel like parts of the story were repetitive and moved slowly. Despite this, I found myself unable to put this book down because I had to know how it ended. I look forward to reading book 2!

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I found the plot somewhat interesting but I had a hard time getting into this book though I was able to finish it.

I love a good ghost story! This book had it all for me; a little paranormal, some suspense and of course romance.

I'll definitely recommend! The book follows Blake after she flees a cheating fiancé and goes to her Granny's cottage.

It's hard to share with out giving things away, but the author does an amazing job writing these characters and making it so easy to despise some & like others. Had a great ending too.

At first I thought I was going to like this book but that quickly changed. Blake got on my last nerve. She was always pouting or kicking things. She was very immature.

I'm abit conflicted about this one, on one hand I enjoyed it but on the other I also.found it abit far fetched and found it dragged on a little at the end. Not a bad book at all just not one of my favourites.

Well written and entertaining mystery. I received a complimentary ebook from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

This was an unexpected read. Blake goes to her grandmother's home to take a break from her abusive and cheating husband. But something is off. And when Clint, her first love turns up, things become even stranger.

A page-turner and totally unputdownable, this book was a pleasant surprise. I loved the story and the characters. Will look forward to reading more works from Stephanie Edwards.

Thanks to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of the Haunting on Palm Court.

The book sounded amazing, family drama, a woman trying to start over, paranormal goings-ons. But the plot didn’t live up to my expectations.

The ideas were all there but the book was very wordy, lots of ‘this happened, then this happened’ and a lot of the build up happened in the first few chapters so there was a lot of fillers to get from a to b.

There was a lot going on in this book, some parts had me gripped, some parts had me drifting. The paranormal parts were just skimming the surface; I wanted more details, more depth. The word haunting is in the title and it gives you a sense of drama and I was expecting the creepy-vibes but they didn’t come.

If you enjoy a page-turner from beginning to end, this is the book for you. Great location and interesting well developed characters.

i enjoyed going through this book, it had a suspenseful and spooky atmosphere. I really enjoyed the mystery and figuring out what was going on.

There are a lot of interesting ideas in this book however I think that maybe there was too much going on and the execution just wasn't there for me to be able to enjoy the story. The character development wasn't great and the narratives felt a bit forced. I really wanted to love this book but it was a miss for me.

Suspenseful and haunting but lacking a little something to make it the complete story. I found that it was predictable in the romantic sense which is why I think I stay away from that genre.

The Haunting on Palm Court by Stephanie Edwards is a story filled with suspense, paranormal, murder and love. I fell into this story quite early on because the author does a great job at ensuring the characters intermingle perfectly and the story is very fluid. Blake catches her husband having an affair. She decides to move into her grandmothers home to find herself amidst the pain. While there, she gets reacquainted with her first love, Clint’s grandmother. Clint comes back into her life at just the right time. Parker wants to kill Blake. He tried and failed but while running from the police he had a wreck that killed him. Blake was distraught and both Clint and his grandmother came to her aid. However, things started to happen and Blake thinks that Parker has returned from the dead to carry out his deed. The story carry’s you along in such a way that you will want to know what is truly going on. Could Blake be crazy? Maybe not.

Thank you to netgalley as well as the author/publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

My feelings about this book jumped around as I continued reading. I was fascinated by the premise of the book, and I loved the strong female characters. A ghost story, A house on the beach, A little mystery? Yes please. The romance part of the book....pretty blah for me. Clint was kind of a wishy washy character, so I didn't enjoy him. Parts of the book just seemed rushed, but that's just my opinion. If you like romance and want to try paranormal this is the book for you.

‘The Haunting on Palm Court‘ is an intriguing Paranormal Romantic Suspense story that begins the ‘Isle of Palms Suspense‘ series. Most of what you’d want to know before picking up this story can be found in the Cover Description… and because it’s a mystery/suspense I’m going to be extremely vague on details that you should discover for yourself as you read this story with so many angles tucked in it.

One thing I can be very clear about – Parker is a slimy, vindictive, abusive jerk – alive or dead. His evil intentions will make your skin crawl.

‘The Haunting on Palm Court‘ is a good story, one that kept my attention focused on figuring out how they could keep everyone safe and get rid of the danger that Parker brings. The secondary characters added to the feeling of the paranormal as well as a strong support system for Blake. Any more details than that I believe the reader needs to experience firsthand. There is another story set in this series to be released in 2021. I’m not certain at this point if I’ll continue the series at that time.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

I received an e-arc of The Haunting on Palm Court by author Stephanie Edwards off from the NetGalley Read Now section. It’s genre is romantic suspense. It’s about a woman named Blake who while engaged to Parker finds him cheating with her boss. Devastated, she heads to her deceased grandmothers beach cottage on the Isle of Palms. This is where her life takes a massive turn. This is a story of rekindling lost love, finding out you have spiritual abilities where you can connect with the dead and learning to lay your past to rest and move on with a happy life. Although this is considered a suspense, I had the storyline figured out early on. I think readers who like magical realism will enjoy reading this. I have given it a 3 star rating.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. I'll be posting my review on Goodreads and Amazon

The premise behind this story really captivated me and the cover was so gorgeous I was hooked.
Overall I enjoyed this story.

I liked the characters and the heroine Blake was a likable and relatable one. As her story unfolds when she returns home after making an awful discovery, I thought the story was going to go in one direction.
What followed next was a lighthearted, heartfelt and intriguing second chance romance in the midst of fighting off a wayward spirit.
The characters were enjoyable and since I’m a believer I could understand Blake’s predicament.

The imagery of the Lowcountry coastline in the south was beautifully described. However, as much as I tried, I really struggled to get through this storyline, it felt too long, and there were elements that just felt flat and lacked depth regarding the hauntings.
