When high school student Audrey Perez moves to a town that's supposedly home to a haunted mansion, she and a few of her new friends decide to investigate. Audrey is quickly swept up in a macabre mystery and eerie adventure that holds the fate of the Haunted Mansion's 999 happy haunts in the balance. A storm is coming—both literally and figuratively—and it'll be up to Audrey and her friends to save the Mansion—and its ghosts—before it's too late. But can Audrey do so while dealing with her own anxieties and while caught in a love triangle between her boyfriend and the enigmatic Sterling—who just might be a ghost?

Good, but not great!

i consider myself a huge Haunted Mansion fan. This book was enjoyable but definitely started slow and is more of a teen drama that becomes a Haunted Mansion book. the sexond half is. whole lot better than the first half! if you enjoy a ghost story give it a read, but if you wantva good Haunted Mansion book read tales from the Haunted Mansion vol.1 -4!

Totally geeking out

I absolutely loved this book! If you love Disney’s Haunted Mansion you will enjoy this book.

Haunted mansion

Ok so this book as a whole is actually really good.
The story is really great and it does have the mansion in it.
My only downside is it should have MORE of the mansion and MORE of the ghosts. All the ghosts that we know are merely mentioned every once in awhile and more often in the very last few chapters equaling to about 20-30 minutes out of the whole 7 and a half hour book.
It was all about the girl, her friends, and this one ghost we’ve never heard of before, trying to beat this great evil ghost killer thing.
A great ghost story in and of itself but barely anything about the mansion which is the whole reason I bought it.
If you’re wanting this book for the ride references don’t get it but if you want it because of the ghost story part of it then definitely get it.
The writing was great but I did find a few chapters being a bit repetitive with the characters anxiety issues and how she was dealing with them. T
the person who read the story had an amazing voice which held you in until the end.
9/10 for sure.

The ghost bride

I loved it. All fans of the haunted mansion should read or listen to this book.

Great Follow Up to/in Tales from the haunted mansion series

I started with the Tales from the haunted mansion books and then read this book. I feel the correct Reading order is Tales Vol. 1-4 then Storm and Shade. I also think you could read Storm then tales. but I think it's more fun in it correct order.

Can't wait for more and I do hope there will be more.

Creepy and enjoyable

I loved the story and some of the great characters and messages in the story. I was sucked in almost from page one. I am looking forward to giving this book to my cousin who like hunted thing.

Ok, Decent but not great

Love haunted mansion and Claudia Gray but this isn’t the best either has to offer. The narrator did ok but butchered amicus arcane’s name in a horrible way. There was also several “woke” potshots in the writing that takes you right out of the story.
