When I started Haunted Love by Jessica Frances, I thought I knew what it was going to be about by reading the synopsis Let me tell you, I was not prepared for this book Jessica Frances, you have done it again with this one Just Wow This book has humor and gripping suspense, but mostly, for me anyway, this was a love story It is a story of two people destined for each other, each needing the other desperately without even knowing it But finding each other at the most inopportune of times, when th [...]

You are mine, woman, and I am yours Until you, my life was desolate I existed, but I didn t truly live Now I live, even in my death Gena Showalter,the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of paranormal and contemporary romances, as well as young adult novels Jessica Frances, an Australian author, penned her new adult paranormal romance book, Haunted Love that captures the love of two souls in death and life.Synopsis My name is Thea Bell and I was murdered.I always assumed that death w [...]

Not as good as I expected but still readableThe blurb of the book was pretty alluring so although I do not prefer to read paranormal, I decided to read this one.It starts in an impressive way Thea, the newly murdered girl, who happens to be our heroine, starts to tell her story.The heroine was a teacher who was living alone She had only her little brother alive as family She is raped and murdered violently no graphic definition and now she finds herself in a place too white with a man who looks [...]

Life is awesome, life is kind Life interrupted That s a whole new different story NOTE I firmly believe that I am afraid of death Ever since I found out the real gravity of death, I have dreaded it It s this unhealthy fear that I often think of I don t think I have Thanatophobia, but yeah I kind of hate dying I hate the notion of the people close to me dying It brings me to tears just thinking about it More importantly, I hate that I too, would die someday It would totally suck to leave my loved [...]

I ve never been a big ghosty person I m not saying that I don t believe in ghosts I ll just say that I don t NOT believe in ghosts I ve never really enjoyed movies about ghosts except Ghostbusters, hello and because of that, I ve not picked up a book about them either I find the whole concept a bit creepy, actually Just a thought of someone watching nope Nopeity nope nope I was a little shocked when I felt this book kind of call out to me to read it I second guessed myself and decided that I wou [...]

Haunting Story but a little too clich I would definitely say that the story is pretty alluring It opens explosively that you can t stop yourself from reading further I like the way the author opens the book with a crucial turn of events so that the hook is set right on for its readers The book has a good story plot but it only remains solid for the first half as by the second half , the book suddenly hops over to clich romance and spoils the fun that was slowly developed by the first half of the [...]

Emotional Funny Suspenseful So beautiful.The first thing I have to say is that this book made me cry my eyes out at the end The progression isn t typical of most romance books, well, paranormal romance Meaning there is no love, or lust, at first sight The progression is really slow and meaningful More of finding a common interest, bonding over it, then growing into something I really, really enjoyed that aspect of the book.The relationship between the ghost and detective was incredible to read [...]

I thought it would be a good idea to read this book It sounded interesting crime, ghost helping solve the crime yaaay and I love the movie with Patrick Swayze, so what could go wrong Everything.For one, Thea is such an irritating character She claims over and over again that it s her brother she came back for and that he s her highest priority, but when sexy detective Aiden enters the picture, she seems to forget about her brother and focuses on lusting after Aiden s strong arms, awesome six pac [...]

Haunted Love is a beautiful, heartbreaking love story that is unlike anything I ve read before I laughed, I cried, and I m so glad I decided to give this one a try.The story starts off with Thea, our heroine, telling us about the day she was murdered and how she was given the choice to come back as a ghost to make sure her brother, Flynn, is going to be okay without her She s told that only one person from her old life will be able to see her and she goes in with high hopes that it ll be Flynn B [...]

After participating in the book blitz for Haunted Love, I immediately went and requested the book for review Although ghost human relationships are always a hit or miss for me, the premise of this one was just too intriguing to pass up.This was such a unique romance and story line Not only is there the budding romance, but there is also a murder mystery than one, actually but it was so much than that.Their relationship doesn t start off on a good note I mean, Aiden starts to see Thea at the mu [...]

4.5 StarsIt was the synopsis for this book that had me one clicking, but it was the authors talent for reeling the reader in that kept me turning the pages until the very end The storyline was unique I ve never read anything like it before, anyway and there was a great mix of mystery and romance.In all honesty, I thought the prologue was really cheesy If the book carried on that way, I probably would have DNFd it, but as soon as chapter one arrived, the story completely took off and I was carrie [...]

This book was okay I really just read it to the end just to see how the author was going to play out the scenario I did get a little bored with it after awhile I did not however expect it to end the way it did At least it was logical because the whole time I kept thinking to myself what far fetched ending is going to end up happening It was not bad.

Beautiful, intriguing, suspenseful Did I mention beautiful Full review to come.

I cut my book nerd teeth reading books where time travel and other worldly characters were at the center of the plot I believe a bit of whimsy lends itself well to romance stories and Jessica Frances blends the two in a distinct way Now, add in a well plotted mystery and you have all the makings for a great read.It s difficult enough navigating a relationship in the purely physical world, so adding a ghost as your main character is going to add many layers of complexity It also gives the author [...]

After reading Haunted Love just looking at the cover turns me into a blubbering kleenex sniffling mess Sometimes death isn t the end as Thea is about to find out, she also gets than she bargained for when she s given the chance to say goodbye You see Thea was murdered and when she meets up with Santa she gets given a second chance but this also comes withconditions.Aiden , the detective working her case is a real workaholic and this caae is about to become really personal , it quite literally w [...]

I loved Haunted Love the story was gritty and hard to read at times, but it was a beautiful love story that went past the grave Theresa Thia is brutally murdered at the beginning of her story and when she is offered to go on and hang with her relatives in a perfect day of her choosing, she declines and decides to stay on Earth to be with her brother, who is her only living family The catch is that only one person would be able to see her and she has no say in the matter Of course the person she [...]

It was nice Nothing unexpected, rather conventional in an American way, I felt like I was watching a Christmas tv movie Don t worry, you will need your tissues but it will end well The heroin is a small kids teachers, she dies violently nothing graphic , she misses her brother and wishes to ascertain that he s doing well how could he do well after his sister s death , her ghost meets the cop who s investigating her death, they re not satisfied with each other at first, then finally get along or [...]

This story made me sad yet well, I really couldn t say happy because of the events and ending that occurred The best word that I can come up with to sum what I felt after turning the last page was satisfied.I like how it s a perfect blend of mystery, romance and the supernatural It did not feel off as their story progressed They both learned a lesson from each other and the encounter that brought them together in the first place If you are into the supernatural romance, then Haunted Love is a bo [...]

At first I wasn t sure if it was a comedy or a love story but as I read I realized it was both Thea and Aiden were such an unlikely pair but they ended up mixing so perfectly This book really makes you wonder is someone watching over you At times it was a little sad but then it made you happy, overall, a great feel good storyReviewed on behalf of Once upon an Alpha

Lovely story I enjoyed this very much.

Actual rating is 4.5 stars I recieved this book as a gift from one of the groups I am on in facebook You had to guess what book a quote came from and I went on gooddreads and found the quote I am so glad I won it because I don t know if I would have ever read this book It s not my usual style It s romance, but it s also a mystery I haven t read a mystery book, let alone a romance mystery book in quite a while I really liked this book I loved the dual point of view between Aiden and Thea The stor [...]

Copy provided by Xpresso Book Tours for an honest review Theresa Bell makes one mistake the night of her murder She walks into her house and let her guard down When she wakes up, she surrounded by light and introduced to a man whom she dubs Santa Clause for his white beard Santa tells her she has two options, she can move on to the Afterlife or return back to the mortal world The catch is that she can t choose who sees her and the first person to see her is the only one who can and she is bound [...]

Haunted Love is an incredible new book by one of my favorite authors, Jessica Frances Ms Frances books have always been amazing and I have yet to find one that did not keep me completely engrossed while reading This new stand alone novel is no exception and I am beyond excited to share my thoughts with you Thea Bell wasn t ready to die, but one day someone took her life With so much to do and so many things left unsaid, she is given a choice to go back and accomplish just that The only promise s [...]

Independent Reviewer for Arcaheolibrarian, I Dig Good Books, I received this book from Xpresso Tours, in exchange for my review.Thea is murdered and is given the chance to return, to say goodbye to her beloved brother Flynn But Flynn doesn t see her, Aiden does He is the detective currently standing over her body, broken as it is, wondering who is standing in front of him, if he is seeing things Aiden can see Thea, touch her, speak with her, and while investigating her death, falls in love with [...]

Haunted Love is one of those books that I had a love, hate relationship While reading this book, in any given second, I either loved it or I hated it There were moments that I felt the sting of tears in my eyes for the heartbreak and the feelings Then, there were the moments where I felt like things were so cliche and I knew what was coming.I loved the love story behind it, how the two were destined for each other and found each other only after one was dead I also loved the general idea behind [...]

Sigh That ending I love it and hate it at the same time and you ll be sure to know that it ll pull some heartstrings From the moment you open the book and read that first page trust me, you ll be hooked I don t read much books with ghosts and such but I was happily surprised at how much I loved this book I loved the mystery of wondering who the killer was and when she would leave and when they would find out about the murderer I loved both the characters and that there was the dual point of view [...]
