Book 1 of THE ARNAUD LEGACY
Advance Praise
“Get ready for a very different type of paranormal read. Different from your average ghost story, Carthage makes Haunted work by doing a wonderful job of bringing her characters to life. Along with the twist, there’s a lovely romance, as well as a mystery…Overall this is a fast, easy read that will keep you on your toes.”– RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

"[Carthage] takes a sharp, twisting turn away from the traditional haunted-house scares and happens upon something far scarier.”– Booklist
“Phoebe is a likeable heroine, and the story moves along well… Fans of occult stories will undoubtedly enjoy this one.” – VOYA

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.
