Haunt

"A sumptuous epic of dark romance...Haunt both challenges and rewards in its uncompromising ambition, its lyric prose and surging emotions, its slowly teased secrets, wrenching violence...too original to settle into any genre, as Maraziotis spices the tale with adventure, romance, tragedy, and even horror...the epic scope, darkness, and refusal to stick to familiar beats will please readers who relish immersive, provocative romance-tinged storytelling. — BookLife by Publisher's Weekly

"The writing in this novel is eye-catching [with] brilliant literary elements that add to the haunting and intricate storyline...nothing less than a page-turner, and readers will most definitely feel themselves eagerly turning the page to see what will happen next—good or bad. Haunt is truly a thrilling western story with characters readers will yearn for, feel for, and never forget." ★★★★★ — Literary Titan

"[Maraziotis] masterfully establishes her voice immediately on page one [of] the incredible journey that unfolds across the pages of this epic tale...one that resonated with me was when she described Charlotte's feeling toward character Will: '...Will's was the tourniquet around her wounded soul. A fine layer of cloth covering it softly with the most tender fabric ever created, and yet, it was feeble enough to blow away...' I am haunted with the memory that lives on having read this historical and monumental saga. I look forward to the next book in this series!" — Diane Lunsford for Feathered Quill Book Reviews

There's a lot to love here. The characters are all insightfully portrayed; the writing is darkly lyrical and tonally perfect; the emotional intensity is palpable, and even the novel's massiveness doesn't detract as the story is tight and momentum brisk throughout. The sex scenes are also noteworthy: masterfully written to convey complex emotional intensity as well as erotic lust. — BlueInk Review

"A sweeping, slow-burn gothic romance set on the American Frontier. The play on genres is dynamic, building an interesting and unique atmosphere that's filled with action and romance but is not for the faint of heart. The bones of Haunt are strong..." — Joelene Pynnonen for Independent Book Review

"There are many genres offering their considerable influence on this intriguing and engrossing novel, and author Christina Maraziotis takes the best of them all...a testament to Maraziotis's compelling gift for character and plot." ★★★★★ — K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

"There are no cheap thrills here and that, along with pacing that glides evenly like the rivers, is what makes the novel so engrossing. The romance is delicious and made even more impressive by the sizzle [which] can be downright cinematic. The grit extends to some surprises and two specifically that bowled me over, leaving me wanting book two in the Loveletting series. Very highly recommended." ★★★★★ — Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite

"The slow burn pace is balanced by a tension that weaves through each scene...the ending is intense and dangles on a cliffhanger, and I look forward to seeing what Maraziotis has in store for us next." ★★★★★ — Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite

"Maraziotis is a brilliant storyteller...she skillfully mixes captivating romantic longing and sexual tension [with] malevolent twists that send shivers down your spine. This historical romance and horror blend is an absolute page-turner!" ★★★★★ — Foluso Falaye for Readers' Favorite

"A haunting, sinister, unexpected, and highly addictive story...a mesmerizing world filled with complex and morally grey characters living in a brutal environment that constantly challenges their flawed human nature and ability to survive. Haunt has the right amount of adventure, tragedy, angst, suspense, love, and peril to please even the most fastidious reader. It's one of the best gothic romances with undertones of psychological horror I've read in years." ★★★★★ — Emma Megan for Readers' Favorite
