Description
★This book can be read as a stand-alone
Some ghost towns are best left alone...
A Heart-thumping, bone-chilling and thought-provoking ghost and supernatural experience.
Hartley is an Australian ghost town that has made a revival for all the right reasons—but can it shake off its evil past as the phantom returns to haunt its new residents?
Will Clarisse be strong enough to reject the trade-off—the power to foretell future events of her choosing and the horrors that come with the visions? What if she could predict a tragedy for a loved one?
This is a haunting tale of cursed taunts and mindless games of an angry and sarcastic phantasm that occupies the basement, lonely and desperate for someone worthy to take over his curse. The contract with the evil entity comes at a cost for Clarisse—ingrained in her lust to control future events. This becomes an affliction of the mind that she can no longer separate from her reality.
Enter her dark world of greed and lust-driven by Clarisse's decision—to inherit the phantoms curse or confront it? Some ghost towns are best left alone!
Advance Praise
"There are some truly spooky moments in Haunting in Hartley. Early on we are introduced to a child murder that is continuously referenced throughout the book. When the six-year-old ghost shows up to assist in some supplemental haunting I couldn't help but squirm away from the images. I mean, what's scarier than a child ghost? Not a lot. In the midst of a mental battle with the phantom, Clarisse gets an inside look at the moment of the child's death. It was at the hands of a priest who was supposed to protect the boy. It's a gut-punch of a scene and I saw how effective Haunting in Hartley could be. The book has a few great moments of the grotesque like this one.

★★★★★
Australian author Janice Tremayne has explored and understands cultural superstitions and their impact on our lives. She is originally from South-East Asia and now lives in Melbourne, Australia. Her HAUNTING CLARICE SERIES, of which HAUNTING IN HARTLEY is Book 2, offers strong evidence that Janice is an important emerging author of the paranormal/ghost/supernatural genre.

A first-class supernatural ghost story with perfect pacing. A spooky tale that will raise more than a few hairs on the back of your neck. It comes recommended, only if you have the nerve to read it! Don't come crying to me if this isn't your genre! A well-deserved five stars from me. Looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

The book is well written, the main characters are perfectly well described, and with a very specific personality perfectly build-up, the pace is quick and steady and has twists and turns enough to keep you in your toes and experience the horror that may come...
