Haunting You
A past life. A dangerous gift. An unlikely romance.
In the haunted halls of her boarding school, Meredith Monroe's hides a dangerous gift. She can communicate with the dead. Desperate not to stand out, she worries her powers may attract the wrong attention. Like from the alluring but totally not-for-her new student, Nathan Vale.
Meredith is impressed Nathan isn't fazed by the supernatural--not even when a ghost tries to kill him by tossing him off the Rotunda balcony. She's less impressed with his insistence they share a romantic connection that spans centuries and lifetimes together. Nathan refuses to let the mistakes of their past influence their chances at happiness this time around. But getting Meredith to fall in love with him a second time may be more deadly than either of them bargain for.
Fans of Lauren Kate's Fallen series, and Meg Cabot's Mediator series will love this YA paranormal romance from a USA Today Bestselling author!

This was a good read. I enjoyed the mystery behind what happened to Nate and Mercy and I was intrigued with the town. I do wish there was a bit more info and details on the town just because with so much haunting atmosphere it is basically a whole character itself.
As far as characters I did enjoy Meredith. I could understand her struggle. Jay wasn't a bad character for her to choose to be with. Nathan of course seems like her destiny but at times he was pushy.
The real reason I only gave 4 stars is because of the ending. Having Meredith choose between the two love choices was the whole conflict of the book and I feel the author took the easy way out with how they ended the book and I feel slightly cheated. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it wasn't an easy happily ever after, I just hoped for a little more definitive.
With that said, I did enjoy the book as a whole and would recommend to other paranormal fans. I look forward to seeing where the author goes from here.

thanks to Booktasters and Molly Zenk for providing my advanced review copy in an exchange for an honest review, 3.75 stars.. this book was so really different, and when I say different it simply means that it was a completely new idea, I loved the story line, also the progress was fairly good, I injoyed every chapter in it it just took me 2 days to finish the book, the fight and war was so hard for the sweet, smart, and enthusiastic teenager who always acted well just to appear the good girl infront of the society, but deep down she wasn't satisfied nor happy with her life at all, even though she had the perfect boyfriend who all the girls want to be with, but her heart tells a different story when the new handsome boy comes to school, and it turned out that the destiny has written another thing for them, which was the visions and the strange ghosts they were both seeing about a couple who had pretty much similar experience about 120 years before, but they didn't fight for there love as Meredith and Nathan decided to do, and that's the lesson we all should learn, we have to think about others experiences and always take them and learn from them, definitely beside our experiences in life, I really injoyed the book so much, and here is a quote from the book which I liked a lot: What’s right for me? After so long of doing what’s right for everyone else and never thinking of myself, I’m not really sure, but I can try. I can definitely try.

Thank you to Booktasters and Molly Zenk for sending me a copy of this book to review.
I want to start off this review by saying, I really liked the premise of this story, a haunted boarding house in a town called Haunting. A girl who lives every day with the dead. Past and present converging into one another. This novel sounds like something I would adore.
However, as I was reading this story the one thing that I continuously said to myself was, "well, that was abrupt." Nothing was fleshed out, leaving me with no meat to cling to. Too often the intriguing aspects were pushed to the wayside in favor of poorly written banter. I wanted more of the school, more of the town and more of the ghosts of the castle. I wanted to see these things alluded to in more detail. I would have liked to see more of her relationship with her father.
This left me with too much to imagine on my own. Sometimes it is great when an author leaves you on the edge of your seat, guessing at what is to come. Here, it was just annoying because all of the information that could have kept me interested just wasn't there.
I was also uninterested in the relationship dynamics of this story. If this were an era piece, it may have made more sense but the whole "I'm with him but I'm not happy about it" only works when the girl doesn't have options. In this society, just break up with him.
Also, the connection to Nate felt very forced and contrived. That whole aspect didn't make any sense to me.
I think this novel would have been so much better if some atmospheric aspects were in play here. But with that lack of them, the lack of believable relationship dynamics and the lack of any real connection to the characters, I can't give this story any better than a two star rating.

First of all I love the author! One of the best people in this world. As for the book it has a great story line also just the perfect amount of humour. Only thing I can say negatively is that the story goes a little slow for my taste. But I finished it in a beat non the less because I was very curious. Lots of love to the author and everyone who helped this book to achieve this. Also special thanks to the lovely @BookTasters team for not giving up on me even though I was kind of a little pain. 💜

**Disclaimer** I received an ARC in exchange for a review.
-----------
Where to even start with this book? It's not the worst book I've ever read but it entirely misses the mark that it was aiming for with this to be an unforgettable, destined, paranormal romance. I only read about thirty-ish percent in before I just had to stop. At the beginning, I liked the characters, but by a 1/3rd in, I hated all of them. (And sadly, the characters aren't the only problem.)
This book basically glorifies affairs and cheating. I know that it's a historical trope, for the girl to be engaged to a guy she doesn't like but instead dreams about marrying this side guy, but this trope does not work in our modern setting. Meredith having a boyfriend that she doesn't like and dreaming about this side guy she meets, while simultaneously refusing to break up with her boyfriend even though she doesn't like anything about him, doesn't translate to the same "forbidden love" trope. It makes Meredith look like a weak-willed and bratty character who strings people along because she's too weak to handle her own problems while she also complains about them as if they're happening to her instead of her happening to them.
Jay was actually a fairly decent character with no evidence of being a total jerk-head, but then the author proceeded to write him more and more extreme, possessive, jealous, etc. as the book went on because, otherwise, there would've been no conflict to keep the reader interested. And Nathan (because there are no side characters worth mentioning because we don't actually develop on any of them, so it's literally just these three) is a total @$$hole. He preaches about letting Meredith choose for herself and honoring her when she says no, but then proceeds to ignore her whenever she expresses that she doesn't want to do something or talk about something. He picks fights for no other reason than to pick fights and make Jay look bad. He's unreasonably intense, with nothing to back it up. I mean, seriously, I actually was wishing that Meredith would dump both of them and move on with her own life because they're both losers.
Here's a few quotes from the book:
"Jay seemed to schedule a lot of his classes because I was in them. Most people thought the habit was charming. I thought it was possessive. But I'm comfortable with Jay, aren't I? Yes. He's safe."
"If it were anyone but Nathan, I'd be looking for the nearest security guard, but because it's Nathan, I feel a sense of peace and complete acceptance."
(Yes, these are actual quotes from the perspective of the main character.)
While I do normally read books all the way through when I do reviews because I want to see the full potential of the book, there's nothing that can salvage this aside from the entire plot and both Jay and Nathan being discarded entirely, which you know won't happen. Which is also disappointing, because the "forbidden love"/"I've been having dreams about you and here you are, I didn't think you were real" trope are some of my favorites when it comes to paranormal romance. Normally, I eat this stuff up with no regret or shame but this story was just so far off the mark, unfortunately.

Haunting You is one of those magical books that remind you of a handful of other fantastic books--yet has authenticity and individuality.
Meredith Monroe lives in Haunting, Colorado. She resides at a boarding school that once was a nineteenth-century hotel built by the founder of Haunting. Don't be surprised by the fact that the spiritual identity of the town is, well, dark and populated by an energy that has no place else to go. Much to Meredith's dismay, she is one of the few who can see and interact with phantoms.
"There is a lot of unsettled history here. Unsettled history means unsettled energy."
Worse yet, Meredith is starting to feel a bit like a ghost walking through her days, because her dreams have been about a boy, who the person she is dreaming of being, loves but can't have. The nineteenth-century expected the wealthy aristocrats to wed pretty, doll-faced, women that decorated their husband's arms. But the woman she dreams of longs to be in the arms of the hotel staff.
Scandalous.
This novel reminded me of Wake Unto Me by Lisa Cach, it's incredible, you should check out that book if you find this one to your tastes. But also there were areas of the story that made me think of the Boundless Deep by Kate Brailler. Another good story, but the published product, suffered from publication errors. If you can overlook these issues, you should probably one-click that too.
Thematically, the plot is romantical. You have star-crossed lovers, fated relationships, spirits, and the ultimate question: does our energy recycle it's self throughout time to continue a story, or to complete one? But the love-triangle and relationships are an afterthought and not the crux of the story. You won't find some fluffy, frou-frou adoration, complete with flowers and kisses that ends in an epic Titanic-style love-fest. That isn't the narrative. This novel is about the characters learning from an impossible and intangible universal knowledge of who they are at a soul-deep level.
I liked this a lot. I would love to read more Molly Zenk books.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into as I selected this from my review copy list at random and rarely read summaries to books, just the genres.
The premise of this book pulled me right in. While I find teenage “romance” to be cringey as all hell, I’m a huge fan of anything to do with bound souls. This book reminded me of a movie I watched with a similar premise, which caused me to want to re-watch it. (The movie is 2:22) Normally, it causes me to enjoy a story less when I’ve seen the plot elements done similarly or the exact same way before. But really is one exception for me.
While I usually don’t get invested in the lives of the characters, this is one of those rare books that caused me to care. I wanted to see how things were going to unfold. I wanted to know if history was repeating itself in the present and how things went down in the past. Would they be avoided this time?
I look down on the whole arbitrary rating system with books. Either it’s worth reading or it’s not. I very nearly gave this a middling rating or do not read rating because of the ending. It just felt abrupt and out of nowhere for me. I hate cliffhanger endings with a burning passion but I still went looking to see if it has a sequel and I couldn’t find anything.
It feels as if this book ends a few chapters too soon. In the story, Meredith is going back and forth between these two guys that she’s into. At the very end. the story just stops out of nowhere. It feels like half of what you read was trying to uncover the past and the other half didn’t amount to a damn thing in the end.
The narrator does an exceptionally good job. There weren’t any instances of repeated dialogue or other common Audible errors.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed this story quite a lot. But the ending has left a bad taste in my mouth. Though I don’t think it entirely ruins the story or should prevent you from reading (or listening) and enjoying it.
NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

Thank you to Booktasters and Molly Zenk. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I always heard the “witching hour” was 3:00 am. But in the city of Haunting, 2:00 am is the “witching hour”. I thought that was rather odd, but then I realized the story is set in Colorado, not in the Eastern Standard Time zones.
Haunting You was well written and a good story. The story does well as a standalone. Although this is one story I would like to read a sequel and follow up on the complex characters. The pace was good, and the characters were so likable I want to hear more of them.
Meredith Monroe is a sixteen year old teenager with a gift that she thinks she doesn’t want. Meredith just wants to be “the good girl” and do what’s expected of her, but she’s psychically drawn to a boy (Nathan Vale) who shows up on campus for a tour. Meredith continually calls Nathan “Nate” with no reasonable explanation. Assigned together on a school project, Nathan and Meredith begin their research, and their adventure begins. They soon find that they have more in common than a group history project. Nathan Vale rooms with Meredith’s boyfriend, Jay Jameson, creating a present day love triangle that has ties to the past.
Meredith’s past life keeps bubbling up to present day. Living in Haunting, Colorado, it’s not unusual for Meredith, Nathan and Jay to resort to past-life regression sessions for answers, only to find that they are/were Mercy Stone, Nate Thatcher, and James Piper.
The book addresses a myriad of issues in both the past and the present, for all of the characters. Living 120 years ago, Mercy, Nate and James made their share of mistakes. Now it’s up to present day Meredith, Nathan, and Jay to recognize the past mistakes and soul-patterns. The author does a good job resolving the issues, yet leaving it open for a possibility of future stories.

This was a bit different than other books I've read but still good and interesting. I haven't always been big on paranormal romance, but I do get intrigued by the paranormal and wonder about the idea of past lives sometimes even though I don't believe in reincarnation.
The narrator does a great job with this story and enjoyed hearing her read it. She did great with all the characters and I would recommend her as a narrator. The audio was very well done for this story and helped create the world and such for the reader.
This story is about a girl, Meredith whose mother died in the past and left her feeling stuck after her death and she's attending a boarding school that her father is the head of and she sees spirits. This starts right away and drops you right into the story and normally I like that and think you should just jump into the action, but I felt like there needed to be a bit more background info or build up before jumping into Meredith is at the hospital with Nathan and suddenly they're talking about dreams and memories they're having of the past. This revolves around a love triangle between Nathan, Meredith, and Jay and Meredith figuring out what she wants, trying to learn from the past, and decide what she wants for herself and who she is. There's a lot left to be explored in this story if there's another book and it would be fun if there was more interaction between her and spirits she sees and helping them in the future and also more atmosphere.
All in all, this is a fun, light, and quick read with some provoking lines that's fun to read if you like paranormal romance and stories with boarding school settings and such.
Thanks to Immortal Works, StoryOrigin, and the author for letting me listen and review this interesting read. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

I liked the story between Meredith, Nathan and Jay.
I don't think I've ever seen love triangle where the ending wasn't obvious because one was just a bad guy and the other perfect. It's not what's here, all the more since it's complicated by the past lives Meredith and Nathan dream about. The boys compete for attention, and are angry but not with violence and it's refreshing. Sure there's possessiveness, and anger, and hurt, how not, but they try to respect her too.
Also there is feeling confusion, but no negativity. It's okay to maybe love two people, it's okay to not know and there is no hint it's bad or slutty. It's okay to be confused.
Also, it's about learning to stand for oneself. Not just because of the love triangle, Meredith realise she must learn to do so, and it's her discoveries of how to do that.
I think it's one of the few romance books I read that I wouldn't mind being read by younger people. I have one 11 year old in mind I would gift the book to, if it was in french. Because it's confusing, and unusual, but it's also positive, and not violent or using assault as "proof of love" like so many does. The relationships are imperfects, but tries.

Many thanks to Molly Zenk and Booktasters for providing a copy of this book for an honest review. Haunting You is a story of love, loss, and undoing the mistakes of the past.
Meredith Monroe lives a mundane existence of doing what she's told and never ruffling feathers. She recalls vivid memories in another lifetime where her name is Mercy Stone in love with Nate Thatcher. However, because of their differences in social status, Mercy can't be with Nate and is in a relationship, encouraged by her father, with wealthy and charming James.
Meredith's life is further complicated when Nathan Vale falls from the rotunda balcony. They share an instant connection with Nathan being the reincarnation of Nate.

This was a different kind of story for me. It was interesting. Meredith Monroe lives in Haunting, Colorado and resides at a boarding school that her father is the head of. She sees spirits and is starting to feel like a ghost herself as the days go by. She has dreams of interacting with phantoms. An okay read but I did find it a little confusing at times.

The narration for this school love triangle was well done. The story was active and entertaining and l did enjoy it. l would like to see Meredith interact with the local ghosts if there is a continuing book. Recommended for fans of ghosts, time travel, school paranormal and good clean reads.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It reminds of The Vampire Diaries.
I didn’t want it to end, and don’t get me started on the ending. I’m really hoping there’s a sequel or something cos I want more.
I’d love to read more from the author, I love the way she writes. I actually enjoyed reading about ghosts.
I got a copy of this book through Booktasters.
