Haunted

De: Kat Martin

Narrado por: Jack Garrett

This spellbinding tale weaves romance with historical mystery as past and present meet in the most notorious ghost town in Arizona.

1898: Robbery, prostitution, and violence are commonplace in the fabulously rich copper mining city of Jerome. But a brutal murder sets the stage for a series of strange events that will echo far into the future.

2024: Jenny Spencer’s Copper Star Saloon and Hotel is one of the best-loved attractions in the popular tourist destination, but eerie occurrences in the newly renovated wing are souring business.

Cain Barrett, the wealthy owner of the nearby Grandview Hotel, has his eye on Jenny. He’ll help her any way he can, but Cain has problems of his own …

A brutal murder at the Copper Star, entries in a dusty journal, and ghostly sightings at both hotels … is the connection a figment of Jenny’s imagination, or a threat to her life? And who is causing trouble for Cain?

As they work together to solve the mystery, Cain vows not to let anything, or anyone—living or dead—stand between him and the woman he has come to love.

it's ok.

The story has a good mystery with paranormal aspects. The characters come across stiff.
overall, she's written better stories. Not one of my favorites from Kat Martin.
The narration come across slow and characters sounded awkward and stiff.
It was OK. Not a favorite of mine.

Just blah

The narrator was good. That's about the only good thing I can say about it. I usually enjoy this author's books, but I just could not get into this one, I forced myself to finish it to leave this review. 6 hours in and nothing had really happened. It was supposed to be a paranormal suspense but the ghost (1) had almost nothing to do with the story. It was there, it caused one major incident and the room was closed. I also wasn't a huge fan of the characters, I didn't hate them, but I couldn't really connect with them either. I think my review title says it all.

Thirsty Cain can't go 1 chapter without a sip

I had to stop this book after a couple hours in. This dude just cannot stop lusting over the other protag. I don't know what this is but I think I was several chapters in before even 1 spooky ghost popped up and it was a throw away scare which lead to yet another description of her boobs.

I'm out. Maybe this gets better, maybe it turns into a romance novel you find at CVS and maybe it's a great story eventually but I'll never know because they can't go a single chapter without wanting to bed each other.

I regret the credit I spent on it.
