Description

Moving to my stepfather's English country mansion sounded so promising. But the Arnaud Manor is neglected and unwelcoming, and I get the feeling it isn't exactly uninhabited. Something wants to hurt us--especially my little sister, Tabby. Okay, so I might be a little sensitive lately. My parents act oblivious to me, my old life is far away in San Francisco, and the gorgeous guy I just met tells me terrible stories about the infamous Madame Arnaud who lived here long ago, and about missing children and vengeful spirits. The kind of stories that are impossible to believe--until you're living in one of them, fighting to protect everyone you love...

My thoughts:

I thought Haunted was an enjoyable read. The story is about Phoebe and her family as the move to England to start over. Phoebe did something so horrible that they had to move to start over in a new life. The problem is that she can't remember what she did. Her parents are distant and don't seem to pay attention to her. She is also seeing ghosts. There is a mysterious boy in the neighborhood who may hold some answers.

I was pleasantly surprised by this debut novel. I thought it was well written and definitely a spooky read. I won't give away too much of the plot, but I liked the twist in the end. Phoebe was a likable character. She wants to make amends for what she did. She also wants to do whatever she can to protect her baby sister from the evil in the house.

This is a great debut and I recommend it for any lover of YA ghost stories! I look forward to the next book in the series.
