Publisher's Summary

From the number one best-selling author of unspeakable comes a terrifyingly atmospheric supernatural thriller.

SEE the terror. FEAR the truth. 

Their therapist told them that a mutual project would be useful. That it would help them reconnect. Heal.

That’s why when Marco Battista inherits a highly desirable property perched on a clifftop location in the idyllic fishing village of Porthcove, he and his wife see it as the perfect opportunity to turn their lives around.

The plan is simple. Move-in, renovate, and get the property sold in time for Christmas. 

Now, they just need to survive the terror inside.

creative, creepy and funny

I love and have read many, many haunted house stories and was not sure what to expect with Tony Marturano's Haunted. I was pleasantly surprised with the mysterious/creepy plot, great characters and especially by the way the fantastic narrators brought those characters to life.

Sound Effects are Everything!

In this novel when a door creeks open, It's a real sound! It has that creep factor. Well narrated from the male with his deep voice. So Ominous! As for the female... Not a fan. Her character made me want to slap her sassy right out of her mouth! The story was entertaining with some comedy. Lots of F-Bombs. Word choice overboard.

Slow but worth it

Initially I was afraid that since I haven't read Psychosis that I wouldn't be able to enjoy this book given the references to the prequel early in the story. But I was pleased to discover that this was an enjoyable story all it's own despite being a sequel. Great book!

Couldn't put down!

This story was intriguing, fun, mysterious, had heart, and not once did I lose my thoughts to other things because I was board. I thoroughly enjoyed the narration as well. Listened to this book straight through no sleep. The only complaint I have is there was way too much cussing and using Jesus's name as a swear word way too much! It's too bad the author feels that it's not offensive to those of us who want to listen to good books without having to hear God's name as a curse word. Interesting how no other God but Jesus is ever used as a curse word.

Best Yet!!!

I don't review books. Ever. This is one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read!

Couldn't get past the first few paragraphs

I gave this 3 stars only because I didn't listen to more than the first few minutes--but no novel with an opening as bad as this one's ever should see the light of day. An opening chapter as bad as this deserves -3 stars.

Loved this book

This book was long but never boring. I loved the story line, the characters and the ghost happenings. I usually don't like sound effects but in this book they were done at appropriate times, never too loud and always made sense. They definitely had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up at times. What a great, spooky and fun book. It will be one I re-read.

Loved it

Love It! Had it all ..Sound Effects , Humour, Little twists. never got bored with it

mixed bag but worth a listen

this book had some of the scariest scenes and sound effects I have heard. and I mean cover your head while listening in bed.very very creepy .their are lots of these scenes ... but..there are also parts that are too agravaiting and too long. no marital bliss here. i may listen again.

great book

scrary details, had to turn off at night! twisted story. unexpected plot. great book

A ghostly experience

So many twists and turns to this story it keeps you on edge listen to it at night and it should keep your hair standing on end.

Dreadful, awful nonsense

This is a remarkably dreadful offering. If you thought book one was bad then this is ten times worse. A study in spinning out nothing to say indefinitely.

I have finally finished listening and feel I need to return to my earlier review to record yet again my astonishment and even wonder at the sheer awfulness of this work. The author is to be commended for his stamina if not for his talent.

This book had me hooked from start to end!

One of the best books I've read in a VERY long time. Great story, twists and turns all the way through and some spine tingling moments! Loved it! Glad I read Psychosis first, but a brilliant stand alone too.

BEST BOOK, SUPERB NARRATION, WITH SFX!

This is not my first Tony Marturano listen, but it has probably got the be the best!

For me, Haunted hit all the right notes. Great story, well-rounded characters and really creepy! All complimented nicely with an array of special effects. For me, I felt like I was in that house with Marco and Buddy the dog experiencing what they were experiencing.

The five-star ratings are not an exaggeration, this book truly deserves it.

The book does come with a spoiler alert right at the beginning which isn't in the description so I would say that I highly recommend Haunted but also recommend listening or reading Psychosis first for the complete experience.

I really hope there's another in the series!

sad its finished

loved the story , lots of detail . loved the narrator. Will miss listening about Marcus and buddy .

Absolutely brilliant!

The ending to this book really had me on the edge of my seat. Would definitely read more from this writer. I laughed, I cried and he left me wanting more.

Really good, but read Psychosis first!

Make sure you read Psychosis first.
As much as this is a standalone novel, to full appreciate eh characters and why they are where they are you need to read the other book first.

I read the audiobook edition narrated by Jonathan and Katie Rand - they did a fantastic job.

Just like the first book, this is an emotional ride, stressful and emotional in parts. I was not sure what the ending would bring - I was not disappointed.

Brilliant

Held me all the way through, story and narration are absolutely captivating I loved Buddy

fantastic

the book was brilliant as was the narration. this would make a fantastic mini series

Brilliant

Again not at all what I was expecting. Fantastic follow on to book 1, Psychosis. Best read first but not a problem if you don't.
