PAST HAUNTS - Book Two of the Kelsey’s Burden Series:

I’m Kelsey Harrison, former Miami cop, former mother, former everything. Almost three years ago, I went home and found my entire life ripped to shreds. While trying to find those responsible, I triggered the execution of innocent lives.

I fled.

Now I hide in the open, running my business, writing my novels, deceiving my new friends that I now call family. I’ve made alliances with a local motorcycle club. One sexy biker in particular seems determined to distract me.

And when no one else is around, I search for answers. Because, though it appears as if I have moved on, I will never stop looking for my enemies. I will find my son, if it’s the last thing I do.

Now, the tricky part. How do I keep everyone around me alive until that day happens?

Warning: Contains adult situations and language - for readers 18 years of age or older. This book is the second book of a series. It is recommended to read this series in order.

"Past Haunts", second in the 'Kelsey's Burden' series is more tightly focussed than the first book, 'Layered Lies'.
At the same time it is plagued by spelling errors (the ones that a spell checker won't find) - two glaring examples were 'free reign' and 'peaked Bones' interest'.
While it does have a plot all its own the main focus is on setting the stage for books to come, revealing some details of Kelsey's past, and edging forward the possible recovery of her adopted son, Nicholas.
It has a blazing finale in which Kelsey does a Butch & Sundance, guns blazing!
It's an enjoyable read but is not very memorable.
3 Stars.

I’ve read all of the Davina Ravine series and recently finished the second book in this new series. While I do enjoy the books, I find myself getting frustrated. Most of the story tends to drag, with the plot only picking up in the last 30%. The final sections are always packed with action and cliffhangers that leave me wanting to continue the series, but the slow pacing in the first half of each book feels disappointing. I’m honestly not sure if I’ll keep reading this series—it’s becoming hard to stay invested when so much of the story feels drawn out.

Great characters and story

This is the first book I have read in this series. I love it! I love all the variations and quirks in the characters. They are so entertaining. The story is full of great action and has layers. Some of them are heavy. I will definitely go back and read book one and all the rest in the series. Totally entertaining!!

Well worth reading

I stumbled onto the series while browsing thru Amazon kindle. I have read the first two books of the series today and cannot wait to read the rest. The cast of characters in my family, the storyline is intense and intriguing and filled with lots of layers. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series and then to read other things by this author.

Intriguing series.

I was hooked after the first book. Plenty of action and a dysfunctional perfectly functioning extended family with more crazy adventures and deadly entanglements than any other book I've read. Will definitely complete this series!!

They keep getting better

This book was better than the first one. The characters are so well defined and you really feel like you are in the middle of whatever is going on. I laughed, cried, felt the anger and cheered for them. Can't wait to read the next book.
