3.75 ⭐ I absolutely LOVED Lia in all her badassery in this book! Her bazooka moments had me either laughing out loud or holding my breath. Poor Logan was not only destroyed emotionally, but DANG, did he get mangled physically!! Yikes.
It was so fun to see so much of Piper and Quill! All of their combined chaos had me nonstop laughing. The dark humor was spot on.
While the first half of this book had me laughing, the second had me in tears. There were so many heart wrenching moments where Lia and Logan struggled while trying to figure things out after a lifetime of trauma and separation. The angst, desperation, and trauma really brought out the dark twisted parts, the emotional fallout, and eventual reconciliation.
Color me shocked to see people in therapy in the Devil Universe, what!! Lia and Logan may be working through some things, but you can be sure these two are just as broken and twisted as ever. Honestly, I think these two may be my favorite couple in the Devil Universe.
I'm so happy that they seem to be on their way for a HEA, but I'll hold my breath after that epilogue because nothing comes easily for Logan and Lia.
A.V. Blackmoor’s books are known for her late plot twists and cliffhangers! However, I figured out who Jane was right away, and I don’t think that was intended. It might be because of the order I’ve read her books or just my basic suspicion lol! There were also a few things that felt a little too convenient or didn’t quite make sense about the gang, but I’m hoping for more answers in the next book!
Still, I’m completely obsessed with all of A.V. Blackmoor’s books and can’t wait to find out what happens when time runs out in the next Duet!

I most definitely loved book one a bit more than this one. I really loved Logan and how he did become a bit softer in this book, I mean, not by much but it’s there, lol. I feel which such a huge gap in years that has passed, the characters should have acted a bit more grown. They were young when they were together in book one, I just feel they didn’t grow since then in this book. However, I really loved the concept of this book and book one, and the characters. I truly think both Logan and Lia are most definitely meant to be together. I will continue reading the universe that this author has created because I really love her books and writing. Definitely recommend you reading this duet!
Thank you so much to Author A.V. Blackmoor for the ARC! All thoughts in this review are my own.
ARC Review: Thanks to the author/publisher for the advance copy. I received it in exchange for an honest review—and honest is exactly what you’re getting because this book absolutely hijacked my emotional stability. 🖤
POV: You picked up a dark romance and accidentally signed up for psychological warfare. 😵💫 Eighteen years of grief, obsession, secrets, and moments when this book genuinely hurt—and apparently that’s my idea of a good time. 🩸🫠
This book was an absolute emotional hazard, and I mean that as a compliment. Picking up where Ghost Marked left off, this book throws me straight back into the chaos—and somehow makes that chaos even more psychologically invasive. I was hooked almost immediately, but more importantly, I stayed emotionally invested. This story doesn't just want me to know what happened; it wants me to question everything I think I know right alongside the characters
The combination of grief, obsession, memory, identity, revenge, and possession gives the romance a much heavier emotional foundation than simple attraction. Logan's eighteen years of mourning aren't just backstory—they're embedded in the way he loves, reacts, controls, and spirals. Lia's fractured relationship with her own memories creates an entirely different kind of vulnerability, and watching those two realities collide is where the story really gets its teeth. And the atmosphere? Absolutely feral. Secret societies, masked figures, surveillance, captivity, weapons, violence, buried secrets, and enough questionable decision-making to make common sense file for unemployment. Somehow, the pitch-black humor keeps the whole thing from becoming relentlessly suffocating. There were moments when the emotional intensity genuinely hurt, and that is exactly the kind of reaction I want from a book this dark.
The biggest strength for me was the way the mystery and romance feed each other instead of feeling like two separate stories fighting for attention. The question surrounding Lia's identity isn't simply there to create suspense—it directly attacks the relationship's emotional foundation. Every answer has the potential to change what love means between these two people. The psychological tension is particularly effective because the uncertainty isn't limited to who is lying. It's whether anyone—including the characters themselves—has enough reliable information to recognize the truth. Memory loss, manipulation, conflicting versions of the past, surveillance, hidden motives, and buried history create that delicious trust-absolutely-no-one atmosphere.
The relationship also works because it is deeply uncomfortable by design. Logan's obsession, possessiveness, grief, and need for control aren't brushed aside as quirky romantic traits. The story understands that there is a dangerous line between devotion and possession—and repeatedly drags the characters right up against it. And Lia? She became the character I was most invested in. Her uncertainty about her own identity gives her emotional vulnerability real weight, while her struggle to understand what has been taken from her makes the stakes feel deeply personal. The characterization worked particularly well for me because the characters' darker choices are rooted in their emotional wounds. Logan's grief and fixation give his behavior context without magically making everything he does acceptable—and I appreciated that distinction. Understanding a red flag does not magically make it beige. 🚩😂
The twists were strong, although they didn't all hit with the same level of impact for me. I had several moments where I had to stop, mentally rewind, and reconsider what I thought I understood. The story gives enough information to theorize without making the answers immediately obvious. The clues also feel intentionally planted rather than conveniently dropped in at the last second. So while every reveal didn't completely destroy me, the mystery consistently kept me engaged and suspicious—which, honestly, is half the fun. The dialogue is sharp, too. These people flirt, fight, manipulate, threaten, lie, emotionally devastate each other, and occasionally behave as though peace is a foreign concept. Naturally, I was entertained.
A few minor areas kept this from being a perfect read for me, and they came down to execution rather than the core story. Piper felt somewhat underdeveloped compared with the emotional complexity given to Lia and Logan, and some of the surrounding character work doesn't always feel as fully realized as the central relationship. The intimate scenes also worked better for me in their buildup and emotional context than in every individual payoff. The tension, power dynamics, vulnerability, and emotional stakes surrounding the intimacy were often more compelling than the physical moments themselves. None of these issues undermined the overall experience, but they were noticeable precisely because so much of the central relationship and psychological tension worked so well.
The writing is atmospheric, sharp, and deliberately immersive. The predominantly Logan-focused POV gives the story a strong emotional anchor. At the same time, Lia's POV—particularly with its movement between past and present—adds another layer to the uncertainty surrounding her identity and memories. The writing maintains that oppressive atmosphere while balancing brutality and emotional heaviness with flashes of dark humor. Because apparently these characters weren't suffering enough, so the book decided I needed to laugh while emotionally spiraling. 😂
The pacing was another strong point. I was flying through chapters because the story consistently gave me another reason to keep going. The mystery escalates steadily, the emotional beats have room to land, and the major revelations are spaced well enough that the book rarely feels like it's throwing twists at me purely for shock value.
The darker elements also feel purposeful. Violence, trauma, captivity, obsession, manipulation, and psychological abuse aren't merely decorative darkness. They actively shape the characters and their choices. And the spice🌶️? Oh, it's not merely present. It has opinions and is central to the experience. This is not a romance where someone occasionally kisses against a convenient wall, and we're supposed to call that heat. The BDSM and darker sexual dynamics are woven into the relationship's power struggles, vulnerability, control, and obsession. What impressed me most is how the story balances romance, thriller, mystery, erotic tension, violence, grief, and black humor while still maintaining an emotional core.
This is firmly for readers who know what they're signing up for when they pick up pitch-black dark romance. If you want morally black characters, obsessive possessiveness, captor/captive dynamics, masked men, bikers, secret societies, revenge, BDSM, enemies-to-lovers tension, second-chance romance, graphic violence, psychological manipulation, and a genuine mystery running underneath the romance, this book has plenty to work with.
The psychological thriller elements are especially important. The suspense isn't just generated by the romance; there is an actual What the hell is going on? mystery driving the story. The questions surrounding Lia's memory and identity give the book a stronger psychological edge than a straightforward dark romance. That said, the content warnings are doing serious heavy lifting here. Grief, presumed death, trauma, depression, suicidal ideation, an on-page suicide attempt, memory loss, psychological abuse, loss of autonomy, sexual coercion, dubious consent, violence, torture, mutilation, murder, kidnapping, stalking, surveillance, and extreme power dynamics are all part of the reading experience. This is not dark romance with a little sprinkle of angst. The darkness is the entire meal.🩸
Readers looking for fluffy second-chance romance, light BDSM, a conventionally morally gray hero, or violence conveniently happening off-page should probably run in the opposite direction. If your reaction to “morally black man + obsession + captivity + BDSM + secret society + psychological mystery + eighteen years of grief” is “Oh, absolutely. Ruin me.”…welcome.
I went into this expecting darkness, but what really stayed with me was the emotional mess underneath it. The story isn't simply asking whether two people are attracted to each other. It's asking what happens when love, grief, identity, memory, control, and trauma become so tangled that separating them feels almost impossible. That made the reading experience considerably more compelling for me. I was suspicious. I was uncomfortable. I was emotionally invested. I was yelling at fictional people who could not hear me. And, unfortunately, I was having a fantastic time.
This isn't a book I'd recommend universally, but if you actively seek intense, psychologically messy dark romance with genuine mystery and suspense woven through it, this delivers the kind of beautifully questionable chaos you're signing up for.
A deliciously unhinged collision of dark romance, psychological mystery, obsession, and enough red flags to decorate an entire parade. 🚩😈 I finished the book, but the book did not finish with me. 🫠🖤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STAR REVIEW 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Spice: 4 Peppers 🖤 Genre: Dark Romance 📅 Release Date: 08/27/26 📖 Ghost Hunted — Ghost Duet Book 2
At this point, I am invested in these characters and all of their crazy.
Logan and Lia are like oil and vinegar for a lot of this book—they just do not mix easily, but somehow you still need them together. Their story brings kidnapping, mafia trouble, revenge, obsession, second chances, and enough questionable decisions to remind us that Logan is still very much the walking red flag we met in book one. 🚩
And Lia? After being drugged with Memoril for so long, she's dealing with her own version of crazy. These two might actually deserve each other.
One of my favorite parts was seeing Piper and Quill reunite with Logan and Lia. ❤️ I have become so attached to this whole group that those moments hit differently. Logan may still be crazy as ever, but underneath all of that insanity, he's constantly trying to protect his family and keep them safe. Piper and Lia are alot alike in many ways, not just looks.
Meanwhile, Damien is DONE dealing with Logan's crazy ass, and honestly, I can't even blame the man.
I'm keeping this review intentionally vague because there are WAY too many things that could easily become spoilers. Definitely read "Ghost Marked" first. This is not one I'd recommend jumping into without book one because so much of what happens—and why it matters—comes from everything that happened before.
I did enjoy "Ghost Marked" a little more than "Ghost Hunted". The author mentioned that after the ARCs went out, she found some things she wanted to change, so those revisions weren't included in the copy I read. I'm definitely curious to see how those changes affect the final version.
Overall, this was another dark, chaotic ride with characters who are morally questionable, slightly unhinged, and somehow incredibly easy to become attached to.
And Logan?
🚩 Still crazy. 🚩 Still possessive. 🚩 Still a walking red flag.
A wild and crazy kidnapping, mafia second chance spicy romance that you can’t put down.
This is Part 2 of a duet, and while you could read it stand alone, having read part 1 introduces you to Lia and Logan and you have a much better sense of their relationship. Logan, like all of AV's characters in the DEVIL world, is a little bit unhinged. And the poor guy goes through it in this book! He finds out that the women he's been obsessed with forever and thought he lost 18 years ago is alive! You can imagine the mix of emotions: Relief she's alive, anger she did not reach out, desire to have her back, and of course with Logan's craziness - the urge to kill her! Lia has been given a drug that disrupts her short-term memory, along with having a side effect of increased violent tendencies. The loss of memory explains why she never reached out to Logan. And the tendency toward violence explains why Logan is chasing her around Europe with the mafia on their heels and following Lia by incidents of bazooka violence. It was fun to see Piper and Quill again and to have them "reunite" with Lia and Logan. We also get some quality time with Damien and Seraphina. Logan isn't a good guy at all, but all of the crazy things he does (and there are a lot of crazy things, (including building a cage for Lia) are to try to keep his family members safe. The heat between these 2 was burning my kindle up! And they do come to an understanding and a relationship that works for them. I love AV's brand of crazy, hot action and her characters. There are trigger warnings, so do read them if that might matter to you. I read this in one day because the action and spice were so good that I had to see how it all ended.

REVIEW
GIRL …. You have done it again, I could not put this down . At first I was like who tf is piper it took me a damn minute but then I was like AHHH and then I was like no way is that Lia and guess what again I went AHHHH.
Quill is a 10/10 comedian, the parent kink and the way he protects his girl amazing.
The banter between Damien and Logan in this duet is just top notch mr ““can you get an uber” like Girl please🤣 i really thought I was going to hate the FMC again but somehow you made me cry and feel so much for her in this book the entire plot just had me gasping constantly. But every time she brought up that damn bazooka I absolutely lost it.
the only thing that i down rated this for was purely because I wanted to see more of piper… I know she has a whole story but her and Quill really did make this story extra entertaining, I would have also wish the beginning of the book went on just a few chapters more a little extra suspense. But overall I really did enjoy every second of this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 😭😭😭 🤯🤯🤯 🤣🤣
MEMORABLE QUOTES
She does that to me. She sends me into a turmoil of pain and anguish and desire, and it feels like I’m suffocating whenever I’m with her. But when I’m not with her, I’m drowning just the same. -logan
“It’s okay, Logan. It’s okay. Vincent is going to get her. She’ll be okay, and you’re going to make it right. If you need to be cruel, you can be cruel to me; I can take it. She can’t. But you’re soft. You’ve always been soft, and from now on, that’s the only side she’ll get. You’re going to show her the real you. The person you’ve always been, under the layers of hurt. Please look at me, Logan. It’s okay.”- Damien
Ghost Hunted is book two in the Ghost Marked duet, and WOW this one was definitely darker than the first. Logan has spent 18 years believing Lia is dead while secretly protecting their daughter Aurora, now known as Piper. Meanwhile, Lia has spent those same 18 years being held by her father and forced to take weekly injections meant to erase her memories. This book was honestly harder for me to get through because of everything Lia had endured and because Logan’s treatment of her felt especially harsh at times. I understood his anger and why he was struggling with everything that happened, but there were moments where I just didn’t feel like Lia deserved how far he took things after everything she’d already survived.
There was also so much happening with their family. Logan finds their daughters for Lia, and we learn that Lia was pregnant with another one of their children when she was taken. Now they’re searching for Jane, who was taken away from Lia as a baby. The story gets even more intense when Lia is forced to choose which daughter will die to pay off her father’s debt to a gang. When she refuses to choose, the gang gives them 365 days before they’ll kill them both.
And that ending… DAY 364?! 😭 Logan and Lia finally decide they’re going to make themselves known to their missing daughter, and that’s literally where the book ends. So while there is some resolution, the story definitely doesn’t feel completely wrapped up, and I’m assuming Jane’s story is going to be the next duet that finishes everything.
This book was emotional, dark, messy, and definitely spicy. It took me through a lot of emotions, and while I didn’t love everything Logan did in this one, I was still invested enough in their story to need to see how everything ultimately ends.
Eighteen after he lost Lia and was forced to send Aurora/Piper away, Logan receives a call that could change everything: Lia is alive. Travelling to Ireland with Piper and Quill to go find her, he is convinced that it has to be some kind of hoax, there’s no way the woman he’s grieved all these years is still breathing, and if she is, he won’t let her be for long.
In the moments where Lia is able to remember him, she’s torn between her happy memories with Logan and remembering every terrible thing he ever said or did to her. When she can’t remember, she feels threatened by the stranger in front of her and will do anything to get away. With her sole focus on getting to her daughter, she won’t let anyone, or anything stand in her way.
I received an early copy of this book from the author and loved reading the conclusion of Lia and Logan’s story. In their twisted form of love, Logan expresses his through torment, torn between wanting to show her affection and needing to keep her by his side. As misguided as that may be at times, it’s what she recognizes and how they communicate. Spending almost two decades apart makes them strangers in many ways, and Logan needs to let go of his resentment if he wants a chance at a future with the woman he’s mourned. In true DEVIL fashion, the author gave us a dark and twisted romance with all the spice, where you’re not convinced the hero deserves to get the girl, but you know he’ll get her anyways. I love how all the series are so interconnected, with each new book adding another layer to the story, and I cannot wait to see what happens next.
I received my copy of Ghost Hunted as an arc from the author, thank you A.V. Blackmoor for the opportunity to read your story. There’s a lot of tiggers in this book, so you definitely want to start off with reading those, to see if this book will be a good fit for you. I really enjoyed the first half of this duet, I’ve always like Logan as a character through this universe. But in this book, he kind of just turning into a push over and is constantly blaming everything on himself. I truly feel like 90% or more of what happens to Lia is her and her father’s fault. Logan didn’t make her go to the bar in the first book, nor did he make her marry her r**ist. I really don’t like Lia’s character, she never learns, or grows. Everything is someone else’s fault. But she’s supposedly this bad ass, but seems pretty helpless to me. The bazooka, there’s so much wrong with that part of the book, and I couldn’t get over it. The inconsistencies of how it was described being used, and how an actual bazooka would be used, is past the realm of imagination. The book is spicy, but it came off as repetitive, and after a while it added nothing to the story. I felt like this book just went around in circles and nothing really concluded. They “found” Jane but never introduced themselves in the entire year. Their actual relationship never really grew past surface level. But it’s not like I feel like it ever will until Lia stops being selfish and childish. Maybe the mentioned counselling will help with that, and it will get better in other books. Overall I wouldn’t read this book again, but will continue to read this universe.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Okayyyy… I’m not gonna lie, I loved book one a *little* more, but Logan and Lia still had me in a chokehold. 😮💨🖤
Logan is still absolutely UNHINGED, but I swear there’s a tiny little soft spot hiding underneath all that crazy. And when I say tiny… I mean *TINY*. 😂 This man goes from finding out the woman he’s been obsessed with for **18 YEARS** is alive… to being relieved, furious she never contacted him, desperate to have her back, and simultaneously contemplating whether he should just KILL HER. And Lia?! The poor woman has been drugged to mess with her short-term memory AND make her more violent. So naturally, we get mafia chaos, Europe-wide chasing, bazookas, revenge, and Logan doing some absolutely questionable things—including BUILDING THIS WOMAN A CAGE. 🚩🚩🚩 But honestly? This is the DEVIL universe. What did we expect? 😂 The chemistry between Logan and Lia was 🔥🔥🔥. The tension, the obsession, the *I want you but I might also destroy you* energy had my Kindle fighting for its LIFE. And somehow, these two finally find a relationship that actually works for their particular brand of crazy. I also loved seeing Piper & Quill again and getting more time with Damien and Seraphina. I’m officially invested in this entire chaotic universe.
🖤 Dark romance 🔥 Forced proximity 🔪 Unhinged MMC 💀 Mafia chaos 🧠 Memory loss 💥 Violence & mayhem ⛓️ Cage trope 🔥🔥🔥 SPICE 🖤 Obsessive love
**4.5⭐️ | 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 spice**
If you like your romance dark, dangerous, obsessive, and just a little bit psychotic… **READ THE DUET.** 🖤🔪
This is the follow on from Ghost Marked, again I will advise to read the trigger points as they are there for a reason. This book is more darker than the first, which ended on a cliffhanger. Logan wakes in the hospital ti find out Kia died in the explosion. Now eighteen years later he's still grieving her loss. But he's also a successful businessman. Protecting Lia's daughter Piper is his main priority. Piper and Quill make an added edge to the story. But when she tells him her real mom Lia is still alive in Ireland he can't believe it. This start the complicated story of finding and getting Lia back. Lia can't remember much. The injections her father keeps giving her aren't helping. The memories or nightmares keep bragging her into things she just doesn't want to remember. Will she ever get her memories back fully. Just who are the masked men she keeps seeing. The way this book tells what's happened to Lia is complicated and terrifying in equal amounts. Will Logan actually be able to rescue her. But will it be a rescue. Or just another way to control her. I can't believe that even through the difficult story there are a dew laughable moments, especially the Bazooka being her safety tool. Please remember to read the trigger warning
i have to say that i am somewhat disappointed in the conclusion to logan and lia’s story 😔 i just didn’t feel as invested in the characters like i was reading the first book
in the beginning, i really enjoyed seeing logan being all fatherly with piper and his banter he had going on with quill, but when they left, i lost that feeling and i wish there was more of that familial relationship, especially with lia
some of this book also felt underexplained, we would somehow jump to a different setting with no explanation of how we got there, things would get resolved with no or very little explanation as to how, and i felt a lot of background was missing that would’ve helped me understand more
lastly, lia mentions so many times how she wants freedom for once in her life and she doesn’t get it in the end? logan should’ve been the one to give her her freedom, he knew all she had been through, yet he continues to pretend that he’s giving her it but not really, and lia just accepts it. you can have freedom in a relationship and still be obsessive and protective over them
just not the ending that i wanted for her or for them
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Thank you to the author for sharing an ARC of this book with me!
“I love you, Lia. I always have. I always will. No grave can change that”
“You crying yet, ghost girl?”
It’s getting darker. It’s getting way more twisted. It’s getting more complicated. And yet the HEA is right there behind the corner, if only you have the patience to seek it out and wait for it. The truth about Lia and Logan’s story is that it is one of the most complicated I have read in this series. It’s the most traumatic one. The most fulfilling and the most painful. The things she has to go through. The trauma … it’s was hard reading this book. Maybe even more than the other books. But it was so rewarding to see their ending. The way the author intricately explained the connection between these books was interesting and pleasurable to read. The spicy scenes, as spicy as they can come. And he is as obsessed as the very beginning. A good ending for this duet !
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to be my brat anymore … You can be my good girl instead. Or just … be … You won’t have to do a thing but breathe and let me be near you”
Ghost Hunted, the second in the Ghost Duet, follows Logan and Lia and their dark, traumatic, spicy story.
I have to say, I was not expecting where this book went. After the explosion, Logan thinks the girl he loves is dead. But it turns out, 18 years later, that Lia is alive.. but lost her memory. This book follows Logan's pursuit to get Lia back and fix her. In the process, he learns much more than he expected about his family.
I really enjoyed reading about the changes in the characters from the first book. Logan is slowly learning to love Lia properly (in his own way) and give her more freedom that she desperately craves. Lia turns into a complete badass in her fight to save her daughters. I am obsessed with the bazooka. Logan and Lia's relationship is full of chaos and red flags, but it works for them. Overall, this book tells the story of Logan and Lia coming back together very well, though it sort of ends in a cliffhanger? It sets up the next book well, and I'm excited to continue the story. Overall 5⭐ Spice: 4🌶️
I received an advanced reader copy of this book. It’s part of duet and has additional stories/character arcs available that branch off from the story to build out the world even more.
I absolutely loved this one! It did such a great job of wrapping up Logan and Lia’s story. I enjoyed the different perspectives, how stories overlapped and how everything tied together.
I’m trying to write this review without including spoilers because that’s part of what makes this series so good! There is so much happening that I am consistently trying to read faster to get to the next part! It’s a pickup and try not to put it down again type of book!
Be warned it is dark… dark, dark. It has a host of trigger warnings that you should read ahead of time.
This is book 2 of the Ghost Duet, but definitely check out all the other books in the universe, fair warning there are alot of dark themes throughout this universe
Logan and Piper finally get answers about Lia
Piper and Lia are both alike, not just in looks but in this childlike quality that needs constant supervision and help making good choices, which doesn't annoy the men they love as they have a dominance that requires that. Being pitch black there is lot of 'crossing the line' in how they show they care
Logan and Lia go through alot of ups and downs, relearning each other and the dark desires they have. Also on a mission to find Jane, with gangs wanting debts paid, in peculiar ways.
I gotta admit that I didn't understand how Logan and Lia could wait to introduce themselves, to Jane but I can only assume that may lead into the next books, which i am so excited for Billie's books
Ghost Hunted is book 2 in the Ghost Duet. Ghost Hunted is a very dark, very emotional story. Far more emotional than other books in this world.
I strongly recommend reading the other books in A. V. Blackmoor's world before reading this one as you will come across a lot of very familiar characters. Be sure to check the triggers if needed, as there are even more dark situations this time.
Side note: This book has me liking Damien less than I previously had. He just gets worse every book he appears in.
Thank you A.V. Blackmoor for the ARC version of this book!
I absolutely enjoyed this book and found myself completely pulled into it from the start. I’m especially glad I read Ghost Marked first, as it added so much depth and really helped everything click into place.
This book leans into a delicious mix of darkness and spice, and I flew through it far quicker than I expected because I was so invested in the characters and their journey. It’s the kind of story that keeps you turning pages without even realizing how much time has passed.
Without giving anything away, that ending left me eager for more and now I’m counting down the days until the next book. That cliffhanger has me hooked!
Holy 🤫!! I did NOT expect the ending that this book has that's for sure! This book was honestly such a whirlwind of everything-ups, downs, humor, sadness etc and my heart truly goes out to Lia, but at the same time I sort of want to smack her around the head and shout COMMUNICATE DAMN IT!! (In a good way😂) Logan loves the only way he knows how and on that basis, loved him, he's doing he's best in that same controlling psycho way he does in the first part of their story. I just want them to be happy and carefree- cage, bazooka and all! I cannot wait to see what A.V Blackmoor's brain thinks of next!
Ghost Hunted is the second book in the Ghost Duet! The beginning of this one gave similar vibes to the Cat and Mouse duet, and if you thought that duet was spicy, this one will have you clutching your pearls! I really enjoyed all of the characters' developments, and seeing how they changed over the eighteen years that occur between books. Logan is an AMAZING MMC! And is EASILY in my top ten book boyfriends now!
Absolutely devoured both books in this duet. Each could be read independently, but highly highly recommend reading as a true duet. This one ripped my heart apart and then stitched it back together, multiple times 😖 Right when you think nothing could go wrong, BOOM something goes wrong, so it keeps you on your toes. It gives another perspective into why Logan behaves how he does with Lia, but also into why Lia behaves the way she does with Logan.
I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. This book has trigger warnings, so read the warnings before you dive in. This is the conclusion of Logan and Lia, and what a conclusion it was. Logan finds Lia after mourning her for 18 years. The story is full of angst, and the smut 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵 what can I say? I really enjoyed this duet and I’m looking forward to the next book. I give this 5 stars 🌟
This is the second book in a duet. The first ended in a cliffhanger, so I couldn’t wait to dive into this one.
I do normally read and love Dark Romance, but I didn’t love this one. The story felt a bit disjointed, some parts had no lead - up, just abracadabra problem solved. There was some banter, I would like to have had more.
This line in particular had me giggling and kicking my feet: “Uh uh, brats don’t get bazookas.”
This book took me way longer to read than a lot of previous arcs. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see characters come back and have a part to play. I also do like certain aspects of Lia and Logan’s love story but there were certain times where I feel like Logan was too dark for me. I loooooove a dark MMC but there were certain things he did that almost cause Lia to unalive herself. To me, that takes it a little too far.
Logan thought Lia was dead for the past 18yrs but when he finds shes alive his releof os overshadowed by anger that she didnt come back, bit theres a reason she couldnt, she didnt remember and now he must track her down via the trail of violence before the mafia gets her, but will there reunion be ever lasting? Well written dark twisting, captivating story, the characters have depth that draws you in with suspense, desires and more and we get to see some familiar faces!
This is book 2 of Logan and Lias story. I started this out thinking there was no way that a happy ending could come out of this, I didnt want there to be one either. Then I quickly had my mind changed to wanting them to make it after all. There is a lot that goes down in this story, and I look forward to reading the other books in this universe as well. Definitely check the trigger warnings if there is anything you need to be aware of!
This concludes Logan and Lia's duet but I hope we see them in future books. I felt for both Lia and Logan. They have been through so much and still went through hell. This was full of dread and worry of what was going to happen next along with alot of spice. I couldn't put this done. And I am excited to read whats next.
I really enjoyed the twists and turns in the story. I enjoyed Lia getting a bit of her own mind and own wants back and for Logan to realise she isnt so weak as he thinks she is. However I did find the constant back and forth about her freedom a bit grating. I get it but I think some of the parts could have been removed and we would have be received the same message.
Ghost Hunted is a 3.5 for me. (I will always round up rather than down!)
Overall I liked the book, I just wasnt able to fall in love with it like I had Ghost Marked. It definitely has some darker themes so please read the triggers prior to reading if you think you may have any.
I was really excited to jump into this book after being left on a cliff hanger with Ghost Marked. I fell in love with Logans character in that book and was slightly disappointed with how he was in this one. Did I expect character change, absolutely with what he had went through and how the last book left off, however I did not expect what to me was a drastic change in his hardness and protective/toughness. Lia was still very much who she was in the first book with extra trauma, I feel bad for her and could still feel some connection with her. Though, I do wish she would have become stronger and more resilient as the book went on and she was "fixed".
I am looking forward to the next book in the same universe!!
This was a really great way to wrap up this duo. I loved Lia and Logan so much. The twists and turns in this were wild. From the beginning I was pulled in, needing to know what was going to take place after the first book. This definitely did not disappoint. Going to miss these, but so well worth the read.
