A past life. A dangerous gift. An unlikely romance.In the haunted halls of her boarding school, Meredith Monroe’s hides a dangerous gift. She can communicate with the dead.

Like from the alluring but totally not-for-her new student, Nathan Vale.Meredith is impressed Nathan isn’t fazed by the supernatural—not even … supernatural—not even when a ghost tries to kill him by tossing him off the Rotunda balcony. She’s less impressed with his insistence they share a romantic connection that spans centuries and lifetimes together. Nathan refuses to let the mistakes of their past influence their chances at happiness this time around. But getting Meredith to fall in love with him a second time may be more deadly than either of them bargain for.

The narration for this school love triangle was well done. The story was active and entertaining and l did enjoy it. l would like to see Meredith interact with the local ghosts if there is a continuing book. Recommended for fans of ghosts, time travel, school paranormal and good clean reads.
This was a good read. I enjoyed the mystery behind what happened to Nate and Mercy and I was intrigued with the town. I do wish there was a bit more info and details on the town just because with so much haunting atmosphere it is basically a whole character itself.
As far as characters I did enjoy Meredith. I could understand her struggle. Jay wasn’t a bad character for her to choose to be with. Nathan of course seems like her destiny but at times he was pushy.
The real reason I only gave 4 stars is because of the ending. Having Meredith choose between the two love choices was the whole conflict of the book and I feel the author took the easy way out with how they ended the book and I feel slightly cheated. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it wasn’t an easy happily ever after, I just hoped for a little more definitive.
With that said, I did enjoy the book as a whole and would recommend to other paranormal fans. I look forward to seeing where the author goes from here.
I really enjoyed this book. The storyline grabbed my attention and kept me drawn into the book. The storyline and characters are well written. I loved the cover. I’m looking forward to reading more by this author. I would recommend reading.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Haunting You is one of those magical books that remind you of a handful of other fantastic books–yet has authenticity and individuality.
Meredith Monroe lives in Haunting, Colorado. She resides at a boarding school that once was a nineteenth-century hotel built by the founder of Haunting. Don’t be surprised by the fact that the spiritual identity of the town is, well, dark and populated by an energy that has no place else to go. Much to Meredith’s dismay, she is one of the few who can see and interact with phantoms.
“There is a lot of unsettled history here. Unsettled history means unsettled energy.”
Worse yet, Meredith is starting to feel a bit like a ghost walking through her days, because her dreams have been about a boy, who the person she is dreaming of being, loves but can’t have. The nineteenth-century expected the wealthy aristocrats to wed pretty, doll-faced, women that decorated their husband’s arms. But the woman she dreams of longs to be in the arms of the hotel staff.
Scandalous.
This novel reminded me of Wake Unto Me by Lisa Cach, it’s incredible, you should check out that book if you find this one to your tastes. But also there were areas of the story that made me think of the Boundless Deep by Kate Brailler. Another good story, but the published product, suffered from publication errors. If you can overlook these issues, you should probably one-click that too.
Thematically, the plot is romantical. You have star-crossed lovers, fated relationships, spirits, and the ultimate question: does our energy recycle it’s self throughout time to continue a story, or to complete one? But the love-triangle and relationships are an afterthought and not the crux of the story. You won’t find some fluffy, frou-frou adoration, complete with flowers and kisses that ends in an epic Titanic-style love-fest. That isn’t the narrative. This novel is about the characters learning from an impossible and intangible universal knowledge of who they are at a soul-deep level.
I liked this a lot. I would love to read more Molly Zenk books.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.
