Haunted

Eternally Tethered, Book 1

By: Christina C. Jones

Narrated by: Jillian M. Gee

Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

Within the bounds of complacency, there exists a boring, beautiful sort of peace, and Khalida has found it. Welcomes it, in fact.

A nice, comfortable life, with a great job, a good, albeit on and off again boyfriend, a great relationship with her younger sister...she has nothing to complain about.

But that's only if she ignores the sense of unrest that has haunted her ever since she could remember, overshadowing her ability to connect in love. Only if she glosses over the fact that she’s leaning more toward a permanent off switch when it comes to Travis. Only if she tunes out her way-too-old-for-make-believe younger sister's sudden insistence that some things are a little suspicious when it comes to the details of their past.

A month ago...everything was fine. But now - and suspiciously timed with the entry of sexier than possible Aram Duncan into her life - unexplained hallucinations have Khalida questioning if maybe there’s something other-worldly happening around her. But all of that nonsense...psychic abilities, immortals, time manipulation, mind control...none of that really exists...right?

Nope on the Narrator

Why is she whispering? I understand it is paranormal but I just couldn't get into the breathy whisper. Not only that, every 'p' 's' 'ch' sound popped and it sounded like she had to much spit in her mouth. I tried to like this. Christina has great stories and I'm sure this is a great one too but it was hard to understand because of the readers intonation. It may have had more to do with the recording quality versus the readers actual ability though. I enjoyed what I could hear and understand of the story. I'll have to read the second one because, just no. I could barely finish listening.

A great read

I really enjoyed this read... Definitely something to put you in a good paranormal mood for the holiday. Christina never fails and always delivers amazing works so there’s no surprise this was just as great as her other books. Khalida worked my nerves a good bit but I loved her and Aram together. I could tell from the beginning that Aram was something magnificent. Definitely can’t wait to dive into part 2

Different for me

This was a good story....initially, I was a bit hesitant to indulge into the world of paranormal....however, it is CCJ presenting....definitely worth listening !

Definitely Tethered To This Series!!!

With the recent release of book three in the Eternally Tethered series, I felt it necessary to re-read books one and two to familiarize myself with the story so that I won't be confused when I read Restored. I'm so happy I re-read Haunted. My initial review was unfair because, it was based solely on the narrator's performance and not the storyline. While paranormal isn't my go to genre, I really enjoyed Haunted. Khalida and Aram are long lost immortal lovers who were torn apart by her spiteful azz Grandmother. She erased Khalida's memory and put her in the mortal world to hide her from Aram so, she doesn't even remember she’s married or that she’s a royal. Khalida is just existing, going through the motions, and living a complacent life but not understanding why until Aram walks back into her life. The journey CCJ takes you on is a mysterious and sexy one. Aram is a man on a mission to get the love of his life back and make her remember him and the love they had for each other. Khalida and Aram's love story spans centuries so, you can't help but to root for them. Haunting was an intriguing and sexy tale about timeless love that will captivate you from beginning to end. If you're a fan of paranormal romance, this book is a must read.

yasss

loved it....the story line was palatable and I followed it easily....super sexy...and it kept my attention

Must Read

Jillian's voice is sexy, soothing, and seductive. Her voice paints a picture in your mind. You can see every movement, every touch. The writing was beautifully written about love, devotion, patience, and longing. A must listen to.

Yesss

This was really good I loved the narrator in this one as well. I must say this was different but I can’t wait for more!!!

Excellent performance by Jillian!

I love paranormal romances, so I was excited to see this author dip her toes into this sub-genre of romance.

I almost feel like this needed to be a full novel to appreciate the mythology revealed mainly in flashbacks and hallucinations. But overall, I enjoyed this novella length glimpse into Khalida and Aram's mystic connection.

The full Audible title implies there may be more stories to come. If so, I would love to read them via audiobook format.

Beautiful & Touching

I absolutely loved the rhythm of this story and was so caught up in the way it had me intrigued about the actual haunting. Christina you are a beast at whatever you put your mind to write and that's what takes you from one genre to the next with no problems!!! On to the next book...💜

Creepy Sexy!!

As a fan of Octavia Butler I love paranormal /sci-fi stories that center people of color and transcend classification ! Brava CCJ!

The narrator was good 8/10 ; Wesleigh Soboan would have been better . But she acted and not just read. The audio clarity wasn’t great with too much white noise which affects my performance rating

That said. Ready for the next in the series

immortal lovers reunited somewhere in time

Two immortal lovers that have come through many lifetimes and many situation. One does not remember the other. One will fight to the last breathe for the other. This was a battle of love everlasting.

Voices of the characters were clear and distinct.
