A mining town in Arizona full of ghosts is the background for this suspenseful romance.
I'm a huge fan of a good ghost story. Even better when there is truth behind legends. This was a mix of a mystery and crazy things happening that will definitely have you on edge. I’ve been waiting for this one and whatever comes next from this author I’m so there.

I may be in the minority here, but I found this book to be both unbelievable and facile. I thought it was going to be a paranormal romp, but it was more of a juvenile romance. The speed at which Jenny and Cain became involved was astounding. For someone who was badly hurt in her divorce, Jenny seemed reckless in her haste to team up with Cain. Likewise the object of her desire, Cain. Cain was domineering and controlling. I didn’t like him. He made me roll my eyes with the “damsel in distress” syndrome from which he seemed to suffer.

I want to thank NetGalley and Kensington Publishing/Kensington for forwarding to me a copy of this book for me to read and review. The opinions expressed in this review are solely my own.

Haunted is a fun mystery set in Jerome, Arizona. Having visited Jerome a few times, I delighted in reading about places so much like ones I’ve visited. I liked the element of ghost hauntings, the history of the town and mining, and the relationship between Jenny and Cain. The mystery was good, and there were plenty of twists, turns, and suspense.

Haunted is a fun book about the paranormal in Jerome, AZ. The synopsis peaked my interest because I live in Arizona and have been to Jerome numerous times. I enjoy the mining history and the ghost stories. This book has a little of everything: intrigue, drama, mystery, ghosts, and romance. If historical fiction, haunted buildings and towns interest you, then this is a fun book to read! I am ready for another trip to Jerome!

Jerome Arizona is known as the Wickedest Town in the West. It was a mining town with plenty of robberies, prostitution, and murders. The Copper Star Saloon and Hotel was a popular place and it still is today. Jenny owns and runs the Copper Star and is investigating the strange incidents that have occurred. Ghosts have been sited and strange noises like piano playing and laughter. Cain owns and is remodeling the Grandview Hotel and is attracted to Jenny. Cain doesn’t believe in ghosts but something scary happened while his was in one of the new portion of the Star. Jenny is independent and doesn’t really want a man in her life. The more she gets to know Cain, the harder she falls. Cain gets shot, Jenny gets kidnapped and it seems somebody is after them. Cain will not let anyone get in between him and Jenny, ghost or real person.

Will keep you in suspense. Action. Sex. Ghosts. Jenny is beautiful and self sufficient. Cain lets nothing stand in his way when he sets his mind on something.
