The Haunting of Anna Stone was one of my most anticipated reads, and it did NOT disappoint.

Picking up after the chilling events of The Haunting of Chateau de Mornay, this sequel is darker, more sinister, and packed with even more horror, macabre deaths, and—let’s be real— there was a lot of steamy moments (absolutely perfect for SMUT readers).

Anna Stone, one of our main characters, is pushed further into the unknown, and I lived for it.

It was ABOUT TIME Anna turned BADASS! No more weakness as she fully embraced her power. The deep dive into witchcraft was everything.

I absolutely enjoyed the way Blake seamlessly weaved both historical and contemporary witch folklore. It absolutely fascinated and intrigued me...BUT, let’s be clear—this isn’t Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, or Charmed kinda witchcraft. This was dark, seductive, and terrifying.

Anna’s transformation into an immortal felt intense, yet it was exactly what I hoped for. Blake's writing style completely IMMERSED ME. The dark poetry fully evoked my emotions, but it was the added touch of the illustrations, which was the piece de resistance 🤌🏼 that added further gothic horror elements throughout.

I found the pacing lagged at times when the tension built up, and the shifting timelines could be disorienting that I had to backtrack a few times to fully grasp the story’s complexity, but as the story progressed i found that only added to the eerie, unsettling atmosphere, so i couldn't really find fault with it at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

A Spellbinding, Seductive & Haunting Sequel – Thank You, Blake! If you love horror-tinged witchcraft, supernatural seduction, and an atmospheric, haunting tale, this book is for you.

It was absolute perfection 👌

I was fortunate to be an ARC reader for Book 2 The Haunting of Anna Stone.
I thought it was great, although a little confused at first because i didn't read the 1st book The Haunting of Chateau De Mornay, I HIGHLY recommend reading book 1 before starting book 2 or you may be lost at the beginning, these are NOT standalones. There is spice, but not too much, the death scenes are gnarly! and the poems were very well written.
recommended!

If you haven't read about Anna in the frist book you need to before reading this one with that said lets jump in feet frist, Anna and Luc had my heart in the frist book and Torn it to shreds in Haunting of Anna.
The darkness that Anna faces is a darkest witch ever
(Which is also the darkness from book 1) Anna faces dark trails from Eliza until Anna takes the darkness in. This story is so well written you will not want to put it down, I was a bit confused for abit for the story switches around between Anna and Eliza so you got to pay attention to whom your reading , I will recommend this series to everyone who likes dark gothic romance with a big twist of horror
This book is a 5 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ story
Spice is only a couple of chapters but the spice scale rates 🌶🌶🌶 Please read book 1 frist !!!

“Dark, witchy, and uncomfortably intimate, in the best way.”

Anna Stone isn’t just haunted, she is the haunting. This sequel deepens everything that made the first book chilling, but adds an edge of unraveling time and identity that I wasn’t ready for. The atmosphere is lush and oppressive, the lore is tangled in all the right places, and Eliza? She’s the kind of villain that makes you question your own alignment.

Blake Edward Andrew doesn’t just write gothic horror, he sinks you into it. This book left me disoriented, obsessed, and vaguely worried that my reflection might blink back at me.

Highly recommend if you like your witches a little too powerful, your pacing a little too breathless, and your horror with just a touch of seduction.

Blake Edward Andrew clearly has a deal with some supernatural entity, because The Haunting of Anna Stone had me hooked faster than you can say “dark witch Eliza.” The atmosphere? Deliciously creepy. The plot? A cauldron full of twists and tension. Anna herself? Equal parts fierce and relatable, like the friend you’d trust in a haunted house… but only if she’s walking ahead of you.

It’s the kind of story that keeps you reading at 2 AM, convincing yourself you’ll stop at the next chapter… and then suddenly it’s sunrise. I laughed, I gasped, and I may have looked over my shoulder once or twice (okay, six times).

If you love witches, ancient lore, and a story that grips you like a hex you didn’t see coming, this one’s for you.

When I read The Haunting of Château De Mornay, I didn’t think this story could get more amazing. However Blake showed me that it was only the beginning. The Haunting of Anna Stone was a jaw dropping, OMG, I need book 3 now kind of read. To finally know where the characters that you love in book one are, and what takes place with them in book two was nothing that I expected. So now, I’m waiting patiently for book 3. The Haunting of Anna Stone had everything you want in a book. There was action, twists, turns, spice and a lot of surprises. Also the story hailed your attention, very fast paced and it was so hard to put down. The way Blake describes people, places and certain moments in this book is simply amazing. He’s not just an amazing storyteller but also a great poet. Chef’s kiss to you, Blake! I can’t wait for book three. One more thing, buckle up and enjoy the ride.

there are so many things to be said about this book, it is book two in the haunting trilogy it follows the haunting of Chateau de Mornay which is a remarkable book. The Haunting of Anna Stone takes you on a whole new kind of journey that will absolutely leave you speechless, unable to put the book down and unwilling to do so at that. the character growth is absolutely mind-boggling and amazing, the dialogue and flow from dialogue into descriptive writing is absolutely beautifully put together and a pleasure to read. if you are into Gothic horror and you have not yet read these two books this is your sign to get them! these books are in my top five very favorite books of all time.

Holy crap just when I think I couldn’t get more hooked into this trilogy. From begging to end this book had me on edge. If you’re looking for Dark, seductive, paranormal all in one this book is definitely for you. The illustrations from the front cover to the illustrations within really pulled the vision together. No spoilers but the ending is definitely a through you through loop. Which is what I love and has me wanting to sink my nails into the next book to come. Thank you so much Andrew for allowing me the opportunity to read this book. It did not disappoint.

I absolutely loved the first book, this one was very hard for me to follow. Eliza’s backstory was interesting, but it gets confusing when it’s her and Anna Anna basically becomes the witch, but then what does Eliza become? Zoe’s story was also interesting but there’s just too much going on. It doesn’t flow well and it’s really hard to follow the actual storyline so many great ideas but the execution in my opinion could’ve been a lot better. I’m hoping the third and final book will be more like book one

[David Manchester · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is fantastic! I was fortunate to read it early, and I love it just as much as the first one. I can’t wait for the third book to be released in the future. Make sure you preorder this book; it will be released in March 31.

If you thought The Haunting of Chateau de Mornay was spooky, you will better hold on to something for The Haunting of Anna Stone! I thought the first book was full of twists and turns but this book had me on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen next!

This part two of a trilogy did NOT disappoint!!! The story kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I love this book just as much, if not more than part one!!!!! I want to read it again and again!!! Thank you Blake, for another MASTERPIECE!!!

[Brittney Michael · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved it! The multiple point of views is great and really gets you immersed in the story. The illustrations really add to the story telling. I finished it in less than 2 days because I just couldn’t put it down!

[Susanne Garcia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a dark Gothic spicy romance. There is lots of murder, dismemberment, and darkness about this story. You will need to read the first book for this story to make sense. I am looking forward to the third book.
