Haunted #18
A Rose by Any Other Name
Who knowingly buys a haunted mansion in Chicago? A mansion so haunted that not even a developer will touch it? PEEPs originating partner Mike Dupree’s mother, Glenda, knows a deal when she sees it. This beautiful rose-brick mansion has stood since the Chicago fire. The interior is pristine, and the neighborhood is rapidly becoming the place to live in the Windy City. Glenda enters into a provisional sale on Rouston Rose and hires the Paranormal Entity Exposure Partners to clean house. They have one month to identify the problem and escort whomever is haunting the mansion out. If it can’t be done, Glenda is out a packet of money.
From the moment Mia steps into the house, she knows something is wrong. Her intuition has left her, and her ability to communicate silently with Murphy is gone. Whatever resides there is so powerful that it has crippled the most powerful sensitive of her generation. The PEEPs prepare the house for a full investigation while the wind howls outside. Chicago is forecast to have a mild blizzard, if a blizzard can be mild.
Almost immediately, Mia, Cid, and Murphy are taken by the resident ghost Renee. While the snow accumulates outside, the PEEPs struggle to unlock the mystery of the house and get their people back. But Renee is just one petal on the rose of evil that lives and thrives in Roustan Rose.
Come, pull on your warmest sweater, find an afghan to pull around you, and pour a warm cup of your favorite beverage to guard you from the cold. Why? Because A Rose by Any Other Name holds chilling secrets.

Once upon a time…
I wonder if those words spoken to, or read for the first time, were the catalyst for the spark that lit the fire within us. To write and tell a story the way each of us does is a gift and a responsibility. We sometimes toil hours with an idea, or even just one sentence, not knowing if anyone beyond us will ever read our words. We do it for love. The love of bringing to light the world that resides inside our heads.
It does not matter if we have a happy ending or a soulful gasp. What matters is that we put these thoughts on paper. So keep writing my friends. Keep taking us to the secret corners of your mind. Be brave. Tempt fate and above all enjoy.

Please explain?
While I have been enjoying the paranormal angle there have been two trends in the books that are beginning to annoy me. One: Mia keeps gaining more fantastic skills that don't really get used to their potential but if they were used it would be a short book. Two: Mia keeps getting sexually assaulted or betrayed by lovers and friends in every book! This time the assault was by her two closest friends. Spin the story any way but she was assaulted and everybody is more concerned about the affect on her husband's ego than the affect on her. I think I will have to reconsider whether I continue to read this series.

It was so nice to the PEEPS again...and not with the angst between Mia and Ted. LOL This is one of my favorite series and literally couldn't put it down. (finished in one day) I hope there will be many more stories about this group to come---and soon, please!

When angels and men meet???
Angels are sometimes fallen and when they mate with a human woman their offspring are dammed. Mia's uncle, Quentin, is one. How will they have a relationship? What is really living in the rose red mansion? When PEEPs agreed to clear the ghosts out a mansion Mike's mother wishes to purchase they have no idea what they are facing. There are much more than ghosts in this house! How will they even survive? This is the 18th book in the exciting Haunted Series. As always the writing is superb, the cast of characters are all here with area new players and the storyline gets even more interesting. Highly recommended.

It was a nice read and good story but too drawn out. I have found if I skim over the increasingly ridiculous and annoying Mia stuff, I can enjoy the PEEPS stories which is what drew me to the series in the first place. Except for being too long, this is the first book since #11 that felt like a PEEPS book and not a Mia and Ted angst fest.

I love this whole series so far. I enjoy the development of the different characters and as a group. I will be looking forward to the next installment and dreading the end of the series.

Would be a sweet read!
Alexie Aaron is one of my favorite authors for a reason. She delivers time after time with great plots and interesting characters.
There are many roses and only some have thorns. Unfortunately for Mike Duprees' mom this house has both. Thinking the steal of a deal only has a few pesky spirits to remove she puts a chunk of money to hold the house. Thinking her son and Peeps can clean house for her she calls them. Nothing under heaven and earth.....well you know it's never the same story new house with Peeps!

The Peeps books are amazing, I have no idea how Alexie Aaron comes up with her ideas, and manages to make them seem believable, and almost normal! I am so glad she does though - these books are always a joy to read, take me out of myself and leave me waiting for the next one.
Not one to worry you Alexie - but you have implied a possible semi-immortality for Mia in this book- so that's how long I am expecting the stories to go on ;)

Another good one
I absolutely love this series!! Each book add a little something different so each book is never the same as the previous one. This one had several ghosts or entity in a house you would not believe! I still want to join the PEEPS!!!!

a very complicated tale of ghosts and interdimensional monsters . add in angels and ghost hunters, stir well for successful story telling.. re-read in february, 2017...a little long winded but a good fantasy tale of good, evil, and in between.

This whole series has been good. It's so hard to put down when you many other things you should be doing. I love all of the characters. Each one is so special to each if the stories. I don't ever want it to end!
