Haunted

By Heather Graham

Love is everywhere

WHEN DOES A GIFT BECOME A CURSE?

Matt Stone doesn't believe in ghosts. But there are those who are convinced his home, a historic Virginia estate that dates back to the revolutionary war, is haunted. Pressured to get at the truth about some strange happenings at Melody House, he agrees to let Harrison Investigations explore the property. But he isn't ready for beautiful, intriguing Darcy Tremayne.

As a paranormal investigator, Darcy has learned to believe in the unbelievable. And she's given Matt fair warning: sometimes people don't like the skeletons she finds. She never dreamed that warning would apply to herself. For she's about to discover that Melody House holds much more than a simple mystery from the distant past. What it holds is a very real and lethal danger, one that will cast her into a struggle against the worlds of both the living and the dead.

Reviews for Haunted

As a senior in high school, Darcy Tremayne had been in a car wreck that killed her prom date, Josh. Josh had been her best friend for years. Most avoided him due to his "gift". But Darcy loved Josh like a brother. When Josh died, he passed his gift on to Darcy.
Matt Stone does not believe in ghosts. But too many were convinced his home, a historic Virginia estate that dated back to the Revolutionary War, was haunted. The strange happenings began to worsen. And whatever ghost haunted the Lee Room, had become physically harmful to the living. Matt finally agreed to let Harrison Investigations explore the house. But Darcy was more than he ever expected.

Outstanding! Heather Graham has done an excellent job in creating believable characters and setting them in a spine chilling setting. Do not begin reading this one until you have plenty of free time because you will NOT want to set it aside for even a brief period of time. Highly recommended!

I loved this book. The story takes place in VA in an estate called Melody House. Several visitors and staff have reported that they feel a ghost is residing in the Lee Room. The owner, Matt Stone, does not believe this for one minute yet he calls Harrison Investigations to explore the house. Thinking Adam Harrison will be the person to come, he is surprised when Darcy Tremayne shows up. Darcy is a paranormal investigator and she enjoys her house. Yet, in this house she feels evil for the first time but she won't give up until she solves the mystery of who or what is causing these evil feelings. Good mystery because I had no clue how this would end and was very surprised at the end. I love Heather Graham books and this one is no exception.

Almost everyone in this story is haunted in some way. Some literal and some figuratively. Matt Stone doesn't believe in ghosts but his house seems to be haunted. It would be fine if it was just him but he's having issues with the fact that the apparent ghosts are driving away potential customers for his guest house business.So her hires a paranormal investigator, Darcy Tremayne to look into what's happening, and she starts finding skeletons, literally. However she's quite sure that what's happening isn't ghostly but a real person.The two of them are attracted to each other but who can Darcy trust in this small town?
