Haunted Souls #3
Ghost Town
Ghost Detective Jude Byrne has just landed in magical Key West, Florida for two weeks of fun in the sun. He’s looking forward to working on his tan instead of on haunted houses. Sitting at the hotel bar, he overhears a radio call-in show interviewing a terrified man about the harrowing experiences he had with a ghost at Casa Flores, a local bed and breakfast.
Psychic Copeland Forbes is equally thrilled to be on vacation. He’s still dealing with the effects of the Lewis case and a few weeks in the sun is just what the doctor ordered. Hearing the caller on the radio changes everything. He knows he needs to get involved with this case and places a call to PRIDE XM to offer his services to the scared young man. What starts out as a friendly phone call turns into a bet with Jude and Cope spending the night in this haunted hotel where things do, in fact, go bump in the night.
The vacationing duo soon find out they have a mystery on their hands. Casa Flores was the home of a Cuban cigar baron and his second wife. The problem was that Santiago Flores’s first wife was still alive and well back in Havana. When she learned of her husband’s betrayal, she came to Key West for revenge. In the end, mysterious deaths visited all three members of the Flores family.
Can Jude and Cope get to the bottom of what really happened at Casa Flores or will they become the latest victims in this ghost town?

I love those two together, and this ghost/mystery was super well written. The plot twist was superb.
But again..there is context missing, because I don't follow any other series of the author and there is ANOTHER series with its on set of guys intermingled into this story...why?? It just confuses me.

Ghoulishly Good! 👻💖👻
In the almost year since Jude and Cope first met on that rainy night, so much has happened. Now the two are in desperate need of a vacation, so they have gone to Key West, to work on their tans.
Work is what will be happening, but not so much on their tans lines, unfortunately. Never ones to sit idly by when hauntings interfere in the lives of innocent people, or when a spirit is in need of help, Cope feels he and Jude must intervene when a caller to a local radio show reveals he was assaulted by the ghost 👻 of a popular bed and breakfast on the island. Because the psychic witch and his p.i. partner don't believe in coincidence they decide to check it out.
As with all things associated with the ghost detectives, nothing is EVER easy or a simple fix. The more the guys dig into the history of the hauntings at the bed and breakfast, the deeper, darker, and more depraved the story surrounding the infamous house known as, Casa Flores.
This book was so great!!! I loved getting to know new characters, and will be checking in to their stories, by Pandora, soon. This one was dark and showed the lengths selfish people would go to, to get what they wanted.
I loved how the time allowed Jude and Cope to examine their partnership, their friendship, and finally their relationship. That's lots of Ships! Wonder if they ever gave thought to, The Goodship Lollipop 🍭 bahahahahaaa...😂😂😂
ANYWAY! The evolution both men have gone through in their lives, from their tragic pasts to their presents has made them each amazing people individually, and completely dynamic when they join forces. 💜🌈💚

♡🌟(¸.•♥´🌟Long and winding road...
She kept spinning a web until all the pieces were connected.
"Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly." What keeps me coming back to Pandora Pines books are her skillful storytelling. I begged for more of my Key West men and I got it in spades. With bigger roles in this third Haunted Souls series, Pandora bought out the big guns. Mystery, temptation and a story even MY mind found hard to comprehend.
When the words "Viene la muerte" were spoken, Atticus knew it was serious. Being attacked by invisible forces more than shook him up. He needed the story told and thankfully, Jude and Cope were on the island for a long awaited vacation. Work was not supposed to interfere, but what could either men do when this one just fell into their laps? Working with the men of PRIDE XM, and using what they knew, they forged headlong into the mysterious deaths of cigar baron Santiago and his wives.
The twists and the turns kept me spellbound. I couldn't put this book down despite the earliness of the morning. Each clue unlocked more and more of the past and awoke a future neither men could have imagined. Trust me, I too was stunned even knowing something was on the horizon. I am good at figuring stuff out, but Pandora has managed to keep me guessing until the end. He'd found his forever. Now, all he had to do was figure out how to keep it. One click, and read to find out what all this means. I know you will enjoy Ghost Town as much as I did. A definite recommendation.

I like Jude and Cope - maybe even more than Roman and Ten - and I was looking forward to this book. But I had a hard time connecting with them again at the beginning.
yes the last book I read was some time ago, but normally that should not have made that much of a difference.
that said, I thought the story was very well done and I liked how the relationship progressed
all in all a good book in this series

This book seemed to be more about how Jude and ope's relationship was going and less about the ghost story.
I don't usually feel this way but I found myself thinking, 'not more sex, go hunt the ghosts'.
I love this series and love how all of the characters i teract and I am not so sure they work as well when 2 characters are taken to another part of the country.

Oh. My. Heart. Jude and Cope are back in this story, which takes our favorite PI/psychic duo to Key West on a vacation to recover after the stress of the case in the last book. But of course even a vacation is never really a vacation when dealing with the spirit world, now is it? The case in Key West is simultaneously hilarious and frustrating, and keeps our MCs busy for a good portion of their vacation. One of my favorite things about this book? The appearance of all the MCs from the On the Radio series!! I loved those books, so catching up with the guys and having them interact (and click with?! YES) my Jude and Cope? Yes, yes, yes. Please let us see them again, Pandora? Pretty please? ;)
My other favorite thing about this book? Jude and Cope together, and the downtime they got to enjoy together when not working. Their relationship sees some significant moments and growth while they are on the island, and it. Is. Glorious. Omg. My Jude melted my heart over and over again. And they almost melted my kindle with the heat between them, too. Jude and Cope have come so far, both as individuals and as a team, and especially as a couple. I cannot wait to see how their relationship continues to develop, and that surprise?! Ahhh, so excited!
Guys, if you haven’t read these and the rest of the Cold Case Psychic Pandoraverse (we should just TM that), you have not lived. This world has become one of my absolute favorite places to disappear into, and I can’t wait for you all to fall in love with these characters and the entire CCP gang the way I have. They aren’t perfect; they are flawed and real and relatable, and above all, they are chosen family - and as I have learned in my life, those bonds are some of the strongest of all.

Ehh, I don’t know what it is about these two but I am not loving their stories. They are good and written just like all the others connected to them but I just didn’t feel invested in their happiness like I do the others. That said the story was interesting but didn’t feel complete and maybe that’s because this Santana ghost will come back another time but I didn’t like the loose end. It made it seem like this series is done but I feel like it will keep going as that’s kind of how this author has been doing the books.

Why do I love Jude in Ten and Ronan's books, but he and Cope annoy the heck out of me in their own books? *headdesk* ;p
As for the story? I will be honest... that was the LAST person I would have guessed for the "bad" guy/gal! And now with the addition of the "radio" guys... yep, another spinoff series to start and get caught up on... grrr! LOL!!!
I will say that I got a bit emotional when I found out about Wolf...

I can’t even begin to express how much I have enjoyed watching Jude grow from the not very nice person to him slowly opening up and making friends to finally settling down and falling in love. And Cope, watching him opening his heart again to love, even after what his nasty ex did to him and who is still out there somewhere. In this latest case, the boys are off on vacation to Key West for some fun in the sun. When they hear a call-in to the Pride XM radio station from a frantic employee of a haunted hotel, they knew they couldn’t turn their backs on him and decide to help. Along the way, they make new friends with the radio talk show family and knew that they and their family back home are going to love each other so now their family has also grown. The haunting of the hotel had many twists and I can say that who was behind a lot of things, I never saw coming. It never even crossed my mind as a possibility, even after I knew of their existence. Ms Pine’s books never bore me and the stories always feel fresh and new. I absolutely love her books and can’t wait for the next one, in whichever series is next.

Diving right in and giving it their all in every aspect has firmly cemented Jude and Cope as a favorite West Side Magick couple for me. It's astounding how much growth and mellowing we see in Jude in this book and how good of a partner Cope is for him. Together they make a name for themselves and what they do as well as make me believe that this series will rival the Cold Case Crew despite getting their start there.
The mystery aspect of the story progressed really well though I will say that the surprise "I have the exact information you need" findings was a little contrived. It didn't bother me too much though, because Jude and Cope took those directions and worked it into what they needed to discover without letting it detract from their focus. What I really liked was that Jude was the instigator of balance between vacation and volunteering their abilities. The way he weaved them both together gave us what we needed to see the job done as well as show us exactly what we wanted from the romantic aspect of their partnership.
It's very clear that Jude is finding his peace; he's finding it with Cope. Their friendship has been growing steadily and creating a solid foundation and now they can finally give in to all the steam that's been building right along with that friendship. Steam is equivalent to tenderness between them and I cannot express how thrilled I am that we're getting a great balance.
Even though the true villain was predictable it was discovered in a surprising way. Following along and getting to know all the ghostly players for all their viciousness and vulnerabilities rounded out the story really well. It was full of intrigue and drama and one of the more interesting mysteries from the group. Adding in their new friends hints at some fun vacation moments for everyone and I'm really eager to see how they'll be included in the future. This is working its way to becoming a really solid series and I like where we're headed.

Love Jude & Cope! Nice addition to series.
I really enjoyed this book. I definitely recommend you read all the Cold Case Psychic stories & Haunted Souls in order. You can read this series without but it really enhances it with. Also this has a tie in with the On The Radio series. Although again you can understand with it will be best if you’ve read those too. (And really, all the above mentioned are great so you need to anyway!!)
One thing I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did was the different setting/location. Turns out I was wrong; everything was well described, well done, no disconnect at all for me with favorite characters not being at “home”.
Also I enjoyed the storyline and the haunting-it was a little convoluted but with a nice twist and was fun and interesting. I loved seeing them tie in with the Pride XM guys too, at first I thought it would be awkward but it crossed over quite well.
And of course my favorite parts...Jude & Cope. I’ve enjoyed Jude so much over the series, he’s still Jude but has also evolved to an even better Jude 2.0 so to speak. Getting to know Cope in later books in the series has also been great-he fits with Jude perfectly while being a strong character himself and together they are awesome. Love the continued progression of their relationship in all ways.
Overall a really great book and good addition to amazing series!!

Vacation plans turn into a haunted deadly tale.
Cope and Jude deserve a vacation and the best place to go is to Key West for some sunny sun after being in Boston. Their vacation was going a long swimmingly when a radio show started talking about a haunting of a local bed-and-breakfast.
Apparently a young man had been attached by a ghost while he was cleaning the room of one of the former owners. They felt that they could just go over and find out what was wrong with the ghost and it wouldn’t take better day out of their vacation.
However, the bearing of a seagull factory, was looking to have an air to take over his business. And the way that he tried to do. It was very un gentleman like, which left five ghost in turmoil. A Story of of murder and deceit started to unravel. And Cope and Jude didn’t”t know if they were gonna make it out of this haunting alive.
This writer has a way of making you so involved in the story that you cannot even hardly stop for a bathroom break. And once you start reading the book, you really can’t put it down. It’s like I have to know what’s gonna happen? I have to know what’s going on.
It’s like the story of the Titanic that you watched and for days you kept thinking why could he have not stayed on the door with her or found another piece of floating furniture, stop reading until the very end .the stories are that good?. You’re invested in the story so much that you cannot stop reading until the very end.

Every book from this universe Pandora has created has been fantastic and you always think that the next can't hold up to that standard. I'm always wrong and very happily so.
I love Jude, and the way he develops in this book is a must read for all fans of him and the series.
Together, Jude and Cope are on holiday in Key West and find themselves volunteering for a job after hearing a story on the radio about a haunted hotel.
The haunting itself is mind boggling with uncooperative ghosts and a lack of information on a storm hit island. The two men work their hardest to get to the route of the problem and along the way meet the guys at Pride XM (another series from Pandora that is instantly on my must read!).
New friendships blossom and the relationship between Copeland and Jude develops into something neither man expected. The story keeps you on the edge of your toes whilst reading through the book and you heart is tugged in all sorts of directions.
Yet again, a fantastic story with great character development. Pandora has sold me on Key West and it's now a place I need to visit after being described so beautifully.
I cannot recommend this book, series and Universe of characters enough. It quickly became a favourite and hasn't moved since.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Ghost Town, the third book in the Haunted Souls series, is another riveting book in this fun Pandora Pine created universe.
In this book, we're gifted with Jude and Copeland's love story. On vacation, these two great characters are brought together while also trying to solve a murder. I love learning more about Jude, and finally seeing him find love. And Cope, it's awesome seeing him taking risks on love again. The development of both of these men since we met them is huge and interesting to witness.
The murder mystery is fun, with lots of twists and turns. The characters in this case are definitely full of spunk and sass. And then we also are entertained by the previous characters in Pandora's world of fun and romance.
Pandora Pine's writing style is amazing. Her storylines are always full of charm, wit, and excellent characters. She manages to weave an excellent mystery and romance with each book. Ghost Town is just another example of her accomplished writing skills. Be sure to take some time to check out this superb story full of suspense, amazing chemistry, and romance.
In this book, we're gifted with Jude and Copeland's love story. On vacation, these two great characters are brought together while also trying to solve a murder. I love learning more about Jude, and finally seeing him find love. And Cope, it's awesome seeing him taking risks on love again. The development of both of these men since we met them is huge and interesting to witness.
The murder mystery is fun, with lots of twists and turns. The characters in this case are definitely full of spunk and sass. And then we also are entertained by the previous characters in Pandora's world of fun and romance.

4.5 Stars!
Ghost Town is book 3 in the Haunted Souls series and frankly speaking, all of Pandora Pine's books are interconnected in some form, so I don't suggest reading this as a standalone.
I loved how far Jude and Cope came in this book and yet, even if it was quite the turnaround for Jude, it still felt natural and organic. They just have such amazing chemistry and it was obvious that even if things moved slowly in the previous two books, they just belong together.
The case was intriguing and I was especially surprised for who ended up being the big bad in this story. I didn't see that coming at all. I loved that Jude and Cope had the help of the Pillow Talk guys and of course, from the rest of the crew back in Salem.
I think that while I was a bit thrown off by the big reveal, in regards to Jude and Copeland this was my favorite book and I'm looking forward to more of their story soon. Very recommendable!

This is another amazing story from Pandora Pine and I love everything about it. It is beautifully written, has some surprising twists, an intriguing mystery, the storyline is great, there are a bunch of wonderful new to me characters, the setting is lovely and there are several recalcitrant ghosts with their own agendas. Jude and Cope are expecting to have two blissful weeks away from the stress of their jobs but the lure of a haunted B & B pulls them into a new mystery. While trying to solve this new case keeps them busy they still find the time to work on their budding relationship. They have an amazing connection, smoking hot chemistry and I love how much Jude has changed since we first met him and how perfectly in tune he and Cope are together. There is also a glimpse into their future that I can't wait to see come to fruition. I love the ending and I look forward to reading the next book in this exciting universe.

Delightful action-packed Key West vacation with intriguing ghost detecting. I loved this story! Key West is one of my favorite places combine with two of my favorite characters, Jude and Cope and you have a winner. I thought the story-line was lovely convoluted and interesting with lots of twists and turns to keep it engaging.
Jude and Copeland connecting has all the feels for me! Both me have come so far and have learned to trust each other. Their passion and connection burns bright in this book and it will warm your heart and have your kindle steaming. I loved how they work together and how the complement each other and take care of each other.
I was so excited to see the guys from the On The Radio series, it was so good to reconnect with other loved characters! I loved how the two different series found a wonderful middle ground that promises more to come.
Highly recommend!!

Wow. What a great way to unite the gang from On the Radio with the CCP universe. While not absolutely crucial, it helped reading the OtR series first. Jude and Cope are in Key West relaxing after the harrowing Xavier Lewis case. Gee, Key West just happens to be one of the most haunted cities in America, whatever will happen? A compelling mystery (though a bit convoluted) surrounding a haunted B&B, a ghost bigamist, his three pissed off ghost exes, and a whole lot of spectral subterfuge. There’s a lot to like here. Lemme just say: “Romantic Jude’ is a joy to read. I will be honest, I hated the character for the first several books that he appeared in. He was an utter asshole. He started being “not 100% a dick” in Ghost Story. I am now fully on board with this couple. Since the author has joined these two worlds, I hope the boys of PRIDE XM will make other appearances with our Men of Salem.

Love this so hard! Highly recommended for all Pandora Pine fans! I'm lucky to have had an ARC copy to read while I waited for my pre-order to drop on my Kindle...
Sun, Sea & Spooks?
The best book in the series yet and great to reintroduce the On The Radio couples who we haven't seen for a while. The setting of Key West is wonderful and warm, but lots of interesting things to see and do besides check out a haunted Bed and Breakfast. Jude and Cope needed this getaway in the sun to flourish after their previous case, but with when a young man who works in housekeeping at Casa Flores is attacked in broad daylight, Jude offers to help out...little do he and Cope know how involved they're both about to become...in more ways than one! Highly recommended to all fans of Supernatural MM adventure romances everywhere. Two thumbs up! 10/10

Great, great story!
I absolutely loved this book. The author does a fantastic job of melding the love story with the ghost mystery. The ghost mystery was also a compelling and intriguing one. But I really loved the trajectory of Jude and Cope’s relationship and how it all gradually comes together here in such a strong way. The emphasis on chosen family (one of my favorite tropes) was so life affirming. And having read the On The Radio books I loved the way they were integrated here with the promise that both of these chosen families would end up merging. (All they need is to add the Sand Dollar Shoals guys now!)
The ghost mystery is intriguing and it seems we may have more of this to deal with in the future. I did figure out the villains ahead of time but the reveal was great. Strongly recommend.

I assume there are other series related to this one even though personally i’ve only found short stories and one series but anyways some of the things mentioned in these books CLEARLY relate to another book/series which can confuse some people if you haven’t read the others in this particular order that the books seem to have.
The secretiveness around Auroras “other” issues doesn’t make sense to me? Maybe the author covers them in another book, idk, but it was just kinda random and we don’t even know what Jude is referring to which is aggravating.
Honestly I loved the way this book ended and how the mystery came to its conclusion. I’m glad they didn’t rush it into this book but I do hope the spirit of Santana makes its reappearance in a different book. This book felt much more rounded out than the others and I enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend.

This latest book of the Haunted Souls series shows more evolution of Jude’s character. The snarky, footloose Jude we have come to know and love peels back several layers and reveals his true self. And that is a gift not only to Copeland but to the readers that love these two. It was also fun to have a completely different setting in this book. And I realize that Ro and Ten had the cruise but this was different. While we did see small cameos from our Cold Case Psychic family it was a blast to see old friends from a previous series. I will be interested to see how these three series intersect. As for Jude and Cope I look forward to their next adventure and watching their relationship grow and deepen.

Wow!!!
What a fantastic read. This one was pretty dark in spots. Part of that had to do with the reality of life for some of the spirits when they were alive. What makes Pandora's books so good is how close to reality the base of things are before she expands beyond it. It's very hard to word this without leaving spoilers. Hopefully when you read this you will get what I mean. Think of Ronan and Everly and what they went through in Book eleven. I'm so proud of Jude and so happy for him and Cope. I am concerned about the number of loose ends and enemies building up though. Makes me wonder what's coming up for the whole gang. I do think they are all going to have to work and fight together.

This book is an excellent example of a very skillful author weaving together romance, mystery, and suspense into a story that does justice to each theme. I jumped into this series with this book. It can definitely stand alone, but it is clear to me that I need to partake of the other books in the series to do the world building justice. Jude and Cope are a perfect match - of course they have chemistry, but their charisma with and for each other is clear and intoxicating. It makes it really easy to like them both and become invested in what happens next for them. The plot twists keep the pages turning, too. As much as I can having read only one book the Haunted Souls series so far, I definitely recommend immersion in the series. It's a fun ride.

Murderers and Cheaters
Ghost Detective Jude Byrne and Psychic Copeland Forbes are on vacation in Key West when they overhear a call in to Radio Station PRIDE XM. A young man is being terrorised at his place of work. The extremely haunted Casa Flores.
Unable to not answer a call for help, Cope offers his and Jude's assistance. Which results in a bet with Jude and Cope agreeing to spend the night in this haunted hotel where things do, as long as the radio hosts come to.
This begins a tale of bigamy and murder. Along the way Jude and Cope grow closer and they make new friends.
This was an excellent addition to the Haunted Souls series and ends with one hell of a twist. A twist readers will never see coming.

Ghost Town by Pandora Pine is the third book in The Haunted Souls series. It is AMAZING!
Jude and Copeland are back and are enjoying a much needed vacation inKey West... unfortunately spirits dont rest and neitherdopsychics and investigators when there are people who need their help. This story is great - filled with the humor, steam, paranormal activity and suspense we have come to expect from this series. And the glimpse we get into Jude and Copeland's futuremade me absolutely giddy! I really need more... now please.

My Jude is growing up, and I love love love seeing his romantic side in this book. The haunting Jude and Cope are involved in this time is one they learn about on vacation in Key West, so at least they get to wear shorts and make new friends (the three couples from the On the Radio book series), which is good because this case is a creepy one.
I love these characters and their chemistry. They make each other better, happier, and more relaxed. I have not yet read the On the Radio series, but I enjoyed meeting those men here and will definitely read those stories soon. I love this book, and I look forward to more haunt-related heroics and more loving from Jude and Cope.

Finally! Jude and Cope have gotten together before, but they were still not really together. They finally put words to it all. About time! Lol. Jude is super snarky in the other series, but here we get to see the vulnerable Jude that only Cope gets to see. I liked getting to see the stripped down version of him. These guys tried to go on vacation together, but of course ghosts get in the way. This was mostly a story about their relationship with a cool story (with an ending I did NOT expect). I love these guys along with every other character. I look forward to seeing this Jude more often in all other books.
