These stories were intriguing and engaging,I truly enjoyed this set.

Calhoun Mansion - I loved this book, a real page turner which hooked me right from the start, I was almost sorry when it ended. It was strange for me to read a paranormal mystery as it's not one of my usual genres. Calhoun Mansion however felt more like a mystery/thriller with paranormal elements and that worked for me. Nicole's character was well thought out and was very easy to identify with. There were also a good few twists and turns to keep you guessing.
Bell Mansion - I didn't love this book and where as I found it compelling reading and just had to read it to the end, the whole ghosts, devils, witches, and dirty cop really didn't resonate with me. This was probably because I was outside my comfort with this genre and unlike the Calhoun Mansion I didn't feel much in the way of mystery or thriller. For me there were a lot of holes in the story line, from very early on, which had some of them been filled in earlier in the book may have helped (for example I didn't understand the six six six until near the end). Some holes were never filled (where did the box with driving licences end up?) I would also have liked a longer epilogue chapter which dealt in more detail with events that happened to Sarah prior to her arrival at Calhoun mansion, that clearly affected both her thinking and actions in the book. Having said that, If you enjoy this genre then would probably enjoy this.

Wow 2 incredible tales complete with a witch/demon in one and a teenaged pair of ghosts in the other!
The Haunting of Bell Mansion
A creepy witch a family curse and a demon! A lost girl running from a past that was awful and not her fault straight into an old woman who lived in a creepy mansion! She was the only one who could break the Witches curse and stop the devil from rising! Fast paced action with a great creep factor right up to the powerful ending!I
The Haunting of Winchester Mansion
This one was a very different mind of ghost story. Scary st first,but as the story grows and more of the back story is developed it turns into something else. A couple of house flippers still emotionally reeling from the loss of their daughter, start to flip a manson only to discover it's haunted by 2 teenagers brother and sister who need to solve their murders before they can move on. Bailey and Bodhi must come together to help the kids solve their murders and end up finding their way back to each other in the process.
I loved both stories which are completely different. Highly recommend

No thanks
Forced myself to finish Haunted Secrets books, though it was full of language & very explicit content. As with the his book about haunt cypress house, or whatever, the author uses language & sexual content to... well I'm not sure why. His main character in Haunted, he makes basically a drug & alcohol abusing tramp. She is hateful, bitter, with little redeeming qualities, save for one. I hated this character. Not sure what happened to this author but he seems to hate God & all things religious, as well as women. Those, he seems to used as nothing more than sexual tools. The plot ridiculous, the characters not very engaging, the fact that some grow scales before they died was hilarious, though not sure it was intentional. I do not recommend this book (didnt bother reading the last one) or this author.

3 Stories in One (Boxset)
I enjoyed all 3 stories, however, I liked the last two books best. The first book was good but it was more about the devil and it was a good story line but I didn’t really enjoy that one as much as the other two! The other two books I really enjoyed because they were ghost stories in haunted houses. After starting the 3rd book, I realized I had already read it but I couldn’t remember exactly what happened. It was as good the second time as it was the first time and the more I read it, the more I remembered what happened. I would recommend these books if you enjoy the supernatural... 👍🏻👍🏻 One issue I noticed was that all the stories had quite a few grammatical errors so they may want to consider proofreading them again. 🤗🤗

This is a fascinating haunted mystery boxset with fabulous characters in each book. I love Nichole in the first book since she became stronger as the story. unfolded. The characters in the other books are awesome too. There are ghosts in these compelling stories. These books are well-written with plenty of twists to keep me guessing to the end. I am looking forward to every book by this author as he is one of my favorite authors.

I was really looking forward to this. I love a good ghost story, and I enjoy the box sets because everything flows into the next book. This series had all the hallmarks: a stranded, desperate young woman, a huge old house overlook the weathered small town, and mystery. However, tedious writing and a failure to move the story forward made me quit and get rid of the set. I suddenly had a fear the story would never end and I’d be stuck listening to these books forever. Such a disappointment.

Good Collection of Ghost Stories
I enjoyed all the ghost stories. My favorite was the first story. The last story about the couple who flip houses was more tender emotionally.
The characters are well developed and I like them. No one was flat or one dimensional. The towns and houses were also well developed and really helped me to get a great feeling for the environment.

Outstanding
I thoroughly enjoyed your haunted house stories! I did like the second one the best, the Winchester's mansion. However, they were both very good. How Patrick and Carolyn looked she they were fully charged was a suprise to me. That was a new one! I also loved the ending with Ethan, and Bodhi's family. I look forward to reading more of youth novels.

Awesome storyline!
The characters are very engrossing! I may have actually shed a tear or two at times. I rarely get lost in a story but this one did it for me. Totally believable!

It was entertaining
Not really my kind of book but not bad. It drug on with a little to much fluff for fill in that i just skipped thru. Definitely not a hard core ghost scare but what do you expect for the price. All in all not to bad.

Suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages late into the night. Mystery and drama that keep the readers attention. Choose to read all the books in the set or just one.

Secrets and hatred makes for a good read where the hair in your neck stand up!
Sometimes one can run away so fast that one runs straight into things even more deadly.
You will either love this set or hate it!

Loved this Series
This series was about so much more than hauntings. It's about love, loss, grief and finding your way back to life.
