Haunted has an amazing plot. Just about everything you think you understand keeps changing and you are continually surprised. Motives aren’t what they appear to be and secrets are everywhere, but as they unfold you are stunned and yet see the new logic. You understand events in a brand new light, some that have a long history (150 years in Tori’s case) and you are surprised many times over by what has and is really happening. The overall story of the werewolves is wonderfully integrated with Tori’s. It is hard to say more as giving any of these plot twists away is not what a review is meant to do. It is meant to compel you to read the book. Please do!

The aptly titled Haunted is the third installment in Julie's Turning Moon series and I loved every second of it. This time around we follow vampire Tori as she stalks her friend Graham because she knows that he's up to something that he's not telling her about. She's in for a shock when she discovers the truth but she goes against the age-old vampire versus werewolves trope and proves how much she's willing to protect her friend. We see a lot more of Tori's background and how much her maker affected her life when he turned her in the 1800's. The flashbacks were incredible, so detailed and lifelike. Alexander is a brooding character who we don't actually see much of but know a lot from what's remembered of him. He's like a shadow looming in the background. Tori is well and truly haunted by the memory of him and the life they once shared. Tori is an incredible character - fierce and loyal when needed, soft and emotional as required. She's exactly what I would imagine when I think of a vampire. There are twists and turns, drama and romance, violence and near death experiences. It's a roller-coaster of a book that I think shows the greatness of this series. I'm so invested in Julie's characters that I just want to keep reading about them. This was an absolute five star read for me 🌟
