Summary: At last a scary ghost story!
Comment: If you enjoy a good ghost story Haunted is definitely a book you should read! A terrifying tale of ghosts, voodoo, and murder. Haunted draws you in from the first page and doesn't stop until the last. I was unable to put it down until I had finished it, and found myself jumping at noises around the house and looking over my shoulder.
*Atmosphere - spooky, eerie, and sexually charged in several sections.
*Characters - very well written, from the nosy/gossip housekeeper to the violent spirit of Christabel.
*Story/plot - definitely original! Baudey House doesn't have your ordinary haunting.
*Pace - well paced to keep your attention and needing to know what happens next.
*Style - Tamara's style is very easy to read.
My rating a solid five. Haunted is a must have! Run, don't walk to get a copy.

Summary: Nice effort, but not a very good story.
Comment: After reading the glowing reviews of this novel, I picked up a copy expecting a good, scary read. Unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. I just couldn't get behind the story or the characters. I felt I was in trouble when it took nearly 80 pages to tour the house at the beginning of the novel. I particularly didn't care for the main character, David Masters. He had this habit of calling his daughter Amber "Kiddo" which absolutely grated on my nerves for some vague reason. Kiddo is what you call a young boy, not a teenage girl. Masters came across to me as stiff; more a cardboard cutout than a real person. His thought processes and reactions were so predictable, there was no surprise. Another sore point were the supernatural occurances. Some of these were just so bizarre and over the top that they held not an ounce of believability. Also, is it just me, or is this "Author of horror novels moves into haunted house and bad things happen" angle becoming overworked? Sorry, but this one just didn't offer enough to hold my attention. The cover of the book has a blurb from Nancy Holder comparing this novel to Straub's "Ghost Story", but how anyone could compare Straub's literate, chilling tale with this run of the mill, big yawn of a story is absolutely beyond me.
Rating: 4
Summary: That's what I'm talking about!
Comment: Loved the book! I kept thinking of Jeff Goldblum as "David Masters". The only reason I gave it four stars was because I didn't care for how the author did away with the man in black--he was so EVIL and could have done a lot more for the plot rather than getting rid of the annoying housekeeper! I'm a new Tamara Thorne fan!
