 The Haunted

by Danielle Vega

Genre:  Horror / YA

My Review

I’m a sucker for fixer upper stories. Especially haunted ones. This one had some hair raising moments and some fun surprises.

Hendrick’s is uprooted and moved to a new town and new school. She quickly makes friends and starts to adjust to her new life. But things start happening at her new house and she learns of it’s dark past. Her parents aren’t buying what she’s selling when she turns to them about strange and frightening things that are happening. They have their reasons, if misguided. So she turns to her friends and the strange boy that lives next door. As the danger escalates, she’s desperate to find answers. The ghosts are restless and out for vengeance.

I tore through this book. It was an easy ready and the characters felt real. I believed their actions. Which made the scary parts even scarier. Things took some surprisingly dark turns and I’m always happy when that happens. It is horror, ya know.

This is my first time reading this author and it won’t be the last.

Synopsis

From Danielle Vega, YA’s answer to Stephen King, comes a new paranormal novel about dark family secrets, deep-seated vengeance, and the horrifying truth that evil often lurks in the unlikeliest of places.

Hendricks Becker-O’Malley is new in town, and she’s bringing baggage with her. With a dark and wild past, Hendricks doesn’t think the small town her parents moved her to has much to offer her in terms of excitement. She plans on laying low, but when she’s suddenly welcomed into the popular crowd at school, things don’t go as expected.

Hendricks learns from her new friends that the fixer-upper her parents are so excited about is notorious in town. Local legend says it’s haunted. Hendricks doesn’t believe it. Until she’s forced to. Blood-curdling screams erupt from the basement, her little brother wakes up covered in scratches, and something, or someone pushes her dad down the stairs. With help from the mysterious boy next door, Hendricks makes it her mission to take down the ghosts . . . if they don’t take her first.
