Clarisse has been told all her life to stay away from the scarlet chair behind the locked door. But Clarisse can’t seem to stay away from the chair. The chair is haunted and feeds off of a person’s negative energy.
Every time Clarisse has disobeyed her mother and sat in the chair she ends up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. Clarisse is a very strong person with lots of determination and will let nothing stand in her way of completing a task.
Clarisse meets this guy, Harry online with the help of her friend Marjorie. Harry visits Clarisse in Manila and the two hit it off real quick-like. Actually, I think Harry and Clarisse fell in love with each other online before they ever met in person. Clarisse doesn’t want to lie to Harry but keeps as much as possible hidden from him about the scarlet chair.
I so enjoyed reading The Girl in the Scarlet Chair. All the characters were so awesome. I really enjoyed getting to know them. I liked learning a little bit about Manila. I liked when Harry took Clarisse to one of the tourist spots.
Harry and Clarisse are two kindred spirits whom both have endured some of the same things like their partners cheating on them. They can relate to how the other is feeling and maybe help each other to recover from their broken hearts.
The Girl in the Scarlet Chair is not the first book in the Haunting Clarisse Series that I have read no I read book three Haunting in Old Tailem first and loved it so much I couldn’t wait to read the rest of the series.
After reading the Haunting in Old Tailem I don’t feel as if I missed very much but I am glad that I finally got around to reading the first book The Girl in the Scarlet Chair and being able to learn more about Clarisse and who she is. I can’t wait now to dive into book two, Haunting in Hartley as Clarisse makes her way to a haunted ghost town in Australia.
I definitely recommend The Girl in the Scarlet Chair to everyone who loves a good haunting. One-click your copy of The Girl in the Scarlet Chair to see what all the hype is about with the girl and the scarlet chair. Trust me you won’t regret it!
Chilling and thrilling is this first book. We meet Clarisse and Harry. Great chemistry between these characters. Rollercoaster ride of emotions with some unpredictable things going on throughout the book. A supernatural thrill ride.
This book was a little heavier on the romance side of the story than the paranormal/haunting/eerie side of the story. Being a book written before the others I have read of this author, it was not quite as captivating as the other novels, but still was well written and told an interesting story. I wanted to start this series from the beginning, and it was still enjoyable, despite usually not being interested in romance as the main plot. The superstition/paranormal portion of the story was very interesting and beautifully haunting. It was a fresh and interesting plot. The characters were likable and it was interesting to learn more about the culture in the Philippines. I look forward to the next story. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the first book in this series. It’s a very enjoyable read, with a paranormal vibe to it, and a lot of suspense!! The heroine of the story, Clarisse, is a very fantastic and likable character. She’s trying to navigate through a long distance relationship, and deal with a Scarlet chair that belonged to her great grandmother. The chair has the ability to tell the future of relationships, and seems to enjoy giving information about doomed relationships. This book sets the stage for the rest of the series, and Clarisse’s abilities. I recommend this book!!
A lovely story about love and the intrusion of a very strong-willed scarlet chair that may send lives into turmoil. It also describes what is expected of a couple when they start dating in the Philipines, what´s allowed or not, and how society judges people. It´s also a pleasant journey into the food and drinking habits of that country. Entertaining!
I downloaded a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first book of a trilogy. Simply known as the Clarisse series. This book is awwwwmmmmaaaazzzziinnggg. I have never read a book as composed as this. It has a hint of up and coming romance which is subtle and loved it. What hit the mark in this book is the superstitions Clarisse and her family believes in. I am a very superstitious myself. Even though this series can be read as stand alones, it’s always better to read in order. That way you will not get confused about the characters like I did.

Can sitting on an antique scarlet chair have deadly consequences? The one in Clarisse’s family does. Clarisse seems to be fascinated with the forbidden chair. What happens when she sits on it culminates in bizarre events. A very enjoyable romantic suspense with overtones of horror.
I want to start off by saying that I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. In return for my honest review and thoughts. I really enjoyed this book. I was not disappointed at all. Enjoyed the characters and that is set up in the Philippines. I haven’t read anything set there. Reading about all the superstitions was amazing. Highly recommended this book. It’s short and beautiful written book.

This story is a light-yet-interesting exploration of cross-cultural relationships and the problems which need to be navigated, especially in the early days of a budding (LDR) romance in contemporary times. It encourages readers to think outside their own experience, and to broaden their mindset in order to consider others’ perspectives on life (as influenced by different family backgrounds and past experiences
