A perfect spooky read. I was invested in the story and really enjoyed the writing style. I have read a few other of Natasha Preston’s book and this one is on par with the others.

I give this read 5 stars. Natasha Preston is an amazing storyteller. In this book Penny is haunted by her past. She is also scared of the future. There are numerous twists and turns that will have you hooked until the end!

This was a solid mystery with odes to classic horror films.

I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

PERFECT book for Spooky Season, This kept me guessing and sent chills down my spine. All her books hit the mark for me and this one was right up there at the top.

Ok. So. This is a perfect fall/autumn book; a serial killer on the loose, a corn maze, costumes, running around the place. But gah, that ending! I don't know if Natasha is planning a second one or if that's just where it's ending, but either way, it's very irritating.

However! I loved the story and characters; I didn't want to put the book down as I was reading, because I really wanted to find out whodunnit and what was going to happen; I did suspect the actual killer, but as I suspected everyone at one point or another I'm not sure that's much of an accomplishment! If it weren't for that (cliffhanger) ending this would score much higher on my scale.

Read it for the Hallowe'en vibes, just be aware of the ending.

I love a good thriller and man this is it! Twists and turns you didn’t see coming. Natasha really out did herself with this one.

Oh my dear heavens this is a book of all books, and that hanger at the end… Chefs Kiss! I was completely invested from begging to end, totally could of read in one sitting if it wasn’t for that think called work!!!! Amazing read don’t miss out on this one!!!!

I really love everything that I have read by Natasha Preston, but man she leaves EVERYTHING on a cliffhanger. I found myself chucking my kindle at the wall because I was angry and had so many questions. I enjoyed the story and I flew through it, but I think that the ending was rushed and left a lot to be desired. This one is not my favorite by this author, but I would still recommend it if you like books with twists and turns the whole way! I loved how easy this book was to read and I would definitely recommend to anyone that loves the other books Natasha Preston has written. I cannot wait to see the next book that she puts out!

Another fantastic thriller from natasha. This was a great Halloween read, super fast paced and easy to get through. It's been a year since Nash and graces father was sent to prison for unaliving several kids. And now so close to the anniversary its happening all over again. Penny is worried that Nash will be blamed, but the truth comes out in a shocking twist at the end. I was able to guess who it was, but it was still a great read! Highly recommend for those that love thrillers and don't mind open ended endings.

Thank you Net Galley for this advance reader copy in exchange for my honest and free review. While this was actually a decent storyline, the jumps from one demeanor to another red like a bi-polar scenario. I was confused and frustrated with the sway back and forth depending on the situation. At one point I wondered if this was more of a young adult novel. Decent, but not great.

THE HAUNTING is a fast paced thriller told from the point of view of the murderers son’s ex girlfriend. As Penny, the ex girl friend struggles with her feelings toward Nash, the son, another murder takes place. Is there a copycat murderer on the loose? This book has lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing. It was an OK read. An advance reader copy was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

The Haunting was one of favorite books by Natasha Preston. She knocked it out of the park. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Fast pace thriller that you will not see the ending coming. Great read for the Halloween season.


Thank you Netgalley for this Advance readers copy.

I just finished reading "The Haunting" by Natasha Preston, and oh my gosh, it was so freaking creepy! I mean, I love a good horror story, but this one had me sleeping with the lights on.

The main character, Penny, is so relatable. She's trying to figure out what's going on in her town, and I was right there with her, trying to piece together the clues. The supporting characters are also super well-developed. I loved how the author showed how everyone was dealing with their own stuff while also trying to survive this supernatural threat.

The pacing was perfect. It wasn't too fast or too slow. It was like a rollercoaster ride - slow build-up, and then BAM! Something crazy would happen, and I'd be like, "Whoa, did not see that coming!"

The setting was also super eerie. I mean, a small town with a dark history? Sign me up! The author did an amazing job of creating this creepy atmosphere that had me on edge the whole time.

Now, I know some people might say that some parts were predictable, but honestly, I didn't care. The journey was so much fun that I didn't mind if I saw some things coming. Plus, there were still some surprises that caught me off guard.

I would totally recommend "The Haunting" to anyone who loves horror. It's a great read for Halloween or any time you want to get spooked. Just, you know, maybe don't read it alone in the dark. Unless you're like me and enjoy being scared senseless! 😂

I really enjoyed a lot of aspects of this novel, however I’m just not a big fan of this authors ending. Overall a really fun read, and I will definitely checking out more by Natasha Preston !

The Haunting by Natasha Preston was a rollercoaster of suspense that captivated me. This psychological thriller weaves a chilling tale that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and reluctant to put the book down. While it was a bit slow at first it was still good.

The beginning was strong but personally I felt that the middle portion dragged out a little bit. Nonetheless it was a very enjoyable and readable story that can be finished in one sitting.

Another great thriller from Natasha Preston that left me glued to the edge of my seat and guessing until the very end. I absolutely love the attention to detail and the thrilling way that everything ties together so wonderfully but still manages to leave you in suspense at the ending.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

The Haunting is another fantastic YA thriller from Natasha Preston. This book will fly off the shelf! In true Preston fashion the ending leaves us wondering what happens next, but that is part of Preston's appeal. You can decide if the killer is caught or got whats coming to them. Highly recommended

This book was so much fun and crazy. I love the guessing game of who the killer is. The twists made me want to throw the book, but I loved it. Thanks for letting me read it.
