Haunted Souls #10
Ghost Ship
Lovers separated in death. A family terrorized for generations. Can Jude and Cope solve the mystery before it drags them under?
Cope, already plagued by dreams of a watery death aboard the Titanic, is asked to help a haunted family in Nova Scotia. The Bennetts assisted in the recovery efforts following the Titanic disaster more than a century ago, and have been tormented by an angry spirit ever since. Taking the job would mean travelling, and Cope doesn’t want to miss a moment with his husband and son.
Countless families were destroyed, loved ones gone forever when the Titanic sank. Tierney O’Rourke lost his lover Rian Shaughnessy in the disaster, but when he dies many years later, his spirit is devastated to still be alone. When he asks Jude to help him find his lover’s ghost so they can at last be at peace, it’s clear fate wants both investigators working the White Star Line tragedy.
If they fail, the Bennetts will shatter under the strain of the century-long haunting. And if Jude and Cope can’t help Tierney and his true love reunite, what hope do they have for an eternity together of their own?
Ghost Ship is the tenth book in the thrilling Haunted Souls series. Jude and Cope will suck you in with their amazing mysteries and love that fills your soul. Come back to the folks at West Side Magick today!

Another great book by Pandora, even if the Titanic details feel a bit off. The Cope and Jude part of the story was beautiful. It's just the technicalities of the backstories of the (now) ghosts that kind of bother me. Not because they're badly plotted, but because to my Titanic nerd brain, they feel oddly timed. It's not that big in the grand scheme of the story, but as someone who spent months watching documentaries in my free time, it did bother me how it weng down. If you want to avoid my tangential nerd rant over Titanic details, you can happily leave now with my opinion on the book stated. My rant has no real spoilers, so if you're curious, read ahead.
To explain, how she describes it, it sounds as if the ship sunk in minutes and everyone was panicking from moment one. However, based on the accounts I've read, most of the people who were there didn't know they should be panicking as they didn't even know the ship was sinking for quite the while. And that could've been hours, as the ship took several hours to sink (if my memory doesn't fail, the ship hit ice at around 11 and sank fully at around 3 ir 4 am, don'tquote me on that thought). The workers would've been the first to know, so it doesn't make sense to me how Tilnrey and Rian went from finding the ship was sinking (after a big boom in the boiler set off the alarms) to immediately go up to find the lifeboats nearly gone and everyone left in a panic.
Either the timing was wrong or something happened in the middle. Those in the boiler would've likely been amongst the first to know, as their work stations were some of the first to fill with water. Some had flooded and needed to be closed off for safety. And the first passengers to be loaded into lifeboats though it was a drill, not an emergency. The people in charge took pains in concealing there was an emergency from the passengers for as long as they could. By the time it was generally known there was a cause for worry, about half or so of the lifeboats were gone.
So, in order for them to have to wait for the last of the boats, the ship tilting before the break and the panic on board, something must have stopped them from getting to the lifeboats. It couldn't have been the general traffic, as again people weren't piling up for the first hour or two after the hit. Also not finding the ship was sinking while they were on their down time, as they were, on one hand supposed to be working; and on the other the workers' rooms were quickly flooded, they would've known relatively early had they been in their downtime. It isn't shown they were put back to work before deciding to flee for the lifeboats, so I think Pandora missed with the timing. On a smaller ship, it would've been minutes for it to sink. However, as the luxury liners were designed to be protected against such emergencies with technology like the airtight compartments, it made the sinking slower. It would've been cool to mention the fact that there was a fire in the coal rooms, as something the workers would've known but most of the public didn't, but it's understandable that that detail was omitted. It's not that well known.

I love this whole series and all of the other spinoffs that are attached with this, but this one is one of my favorite books out of all of them. This was so well written, interesting, and emotional. Cope and Jude find themselves with a case to reunite a Titanic survivor with his love that passed during the sinking. Additionally, they are asked to assist with a haunting and to do readings during a Titanic reunion in Canada.
This was so interesting. I loved the details about the Titanic, but I loved even more the reality surrounding what really happened rather than just the Hollywood glamorization of the disaster. It was great to remember that there was trauma and heartbreak and sadness surrounding the boat. I absolutely loved Tierney, and my heart broke for him. This book definitely had me feel, and I loved every minute of it.

My heart absolutely broke for Tierney who has been so alone looking for his lost love Rian. Both Tierney & Rian were on the ill-fated Titanic working in the boiler room. When the ship strikes the iceberg, Tierney & Rian head to the last lifeboat, but unfortunately Rian gets knocked overboard & dies. It was heartbreaking. Jude knows all things about the Titanic, and it really hits close to home for him. Also, the curator from the Maritime Museum contacts Cope to come to the anniversary to help in identifying the remains in the unmarked graves as well as a malicious hunting of one of the ancestors of a salvage vessel. On top of that, they are going to try to help Tierney find Rian as he wasn't there waiting for him when he passed. So, Cope & Jude pack up & reluctantly leave Wolf behind with Ten & head to Canada along with Ronan. We get to see the dark side, the unromantic portion of what transpired after the tragedy. So much was going on & even though I did get part of it figured out prior to the big reveal, it did not take away from the well written mystery. Also, we do go through the heartbreak of Cope & Jude leaving Wolf for the first time & how tough it was for them & how it doubly hurt as Wolf didn't seem phased by it.

True Love Never Dies❤️
It was so good to be back in the world of psychic’s, detectives and PI’s again. This book had it all and I was so pleased that nearly all the extended family made an appearance especially the lovely Bertha.
This case took Cope and Jude along with Ronan and Kevin to Canada where there is a museum dedicated to the Titanic and where some of the dead, the ones who were never identified, were buried. There were two cases to solve in this mystery and a twist along the way. The love story of Tierney and Rian was tragic and heart wrenching and I did have a little cry towards the end of the book but there were the usual light hearted moments especially with Ronan and Jude who share a sense of humour.
As with all Pandora Pine books I thoroughly enjoyed this one and now eagerly await Ronan and Ten’s next adventure in the summer.

Amazing.
Ghost Ship is easily the best book in the Haunted Souls series for me - I read it in practically one sitting. I mean there's the Cold Case Psychic Universe gang, the Titanic which I've been fascinated by ever since I can remember and a tragic love story that bought tears to my eyes. Beautiful and amazing.

I love this series of books along with the series featuring Ten and Ronan.
Although these are Jude and Cope's books, there are always lots of appearances of the gang.
This story takes Jude and Cope to Canada to look into a Titanic mystery.
A sad story but a HEA.

Pandora Pine's Ghost Ship is my favorite in the Haunted Souls series so far. The tenth book in this paranormal series, this one had me intrigued from start to finish.
This time around, the mystery revolves around the Titanic and a couple who were on the ship that fateful night. This adds a special element to this ghost story. It's easy to fall into the intrigue of that ship, and the author perfectly captures the feelings one assumed were involved.
Tierney and Ryan were separated on that night, and their story is mesmerizing. My heart breaks for the men and all they suffered. Their relationship is truly full of heartache, anger, frustration, and sadness. And it's all fabulously illustrated.
One special addition to this story is the way Jude has always been fascinated by the Titanic, but changes his feelings about it once he's personally involved. It's a great addition to this book, by making a total Titanic buff start to see the personal side to this historical event.
Everything about this journey works for me. I always enjoy Jude and Cope, so of course, I enjoy their role in this mystery. Add in their emotions about baby Ten, and it just makes me love them even more.
Ghost Ship is a riveting tale that's equal amounts of fun and emotions.
Pandora Pine outdid herself with this one. The emotions are heavy, the intrigue is high, and the humor continues to be sprinkled throughout. If you haven't yet read this series, start now. This is actually one that can easily be enjoyed as a standalone, despite all of the backstory for Jude and Cope missing. Just read it.

~4.5 STARS~
SO, Pandora Pine knows how to write a prologue. That’s what gets me every time. Unfortunately for me, the last couple of books didn’t live up to the amazing prologues… UNTIL this one.
There’s a lot going. Right from the start, my heartstrings were pulled and the story just continued to be an emotional one. I actually thought this story was very well written and it took me on an adventure. There were a few twists and turns throughout, but I was able to figure things out before the ending. Did that stop my enjoyment… NO, because Pandora Pine wrote this story to suck you in from the beginning to the end.

I'm a massive Titanic fan, and I'm talking about the wreck, not the movie, so this book was perfect for me. It had a Titanic story a long with Jude and Cope. The Titanic bit is so sad, and it still upsets me every time I read it. This one really affects Jude, and we see him get really emotionally involved. He is a massive Titanic addict and this case was perfect for him, but it did have a sad undercurrent, and we have to remember how truly horrible the sinking was. I have reread this one so many times, and I'm not going to stop.

This might just be the most emotional story so far from Pandora Pine for me. I love the justice that she has done to the history of the tragedy that was Titanic but added a great fictional element to bring peace and love to two men who were on that fateful voyage.
Copeland and Jude are called to Halifax to be present for the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic with Copeland, especially, being called in for his abilities. One family in particular have been haunted by a spirit ever since their family returned from finding bodies of those who lost their lives. By chance or fate, another spirit calls upon their help in finding his lost love and that one is the one that really tugged on my heart. As we go through the story, reliving events from that night and recollections from actual passengers as well as our fictional man, Tierney, it was especially hard in knowing that these things actually happened to so many people. Jude is truly affected by this as he is a huge history buff on the Titanic for his own reasons and it takes him by surprise as well, how different from knowing the information to when interacting with people who were there.
As always, family is so important in this story. Ronan joins Cope and Jude on their trip whilst Tennyson stays home looking after both Evelyn and Wolf. This is the first time away from their son and it's hard for both men but they know how much of a difference they are making in the work that they do. Everyone is there, offering support whether in person or over the phone and you can feel the love and support they offer to each other as a found family. It's an emotional ride right from the start with the prologue setting the scene with Tierney and his love, Rian, and then everyone involved gets pulled into emotional current that such a huge tragedy brought.
Pandora Pine has found another way to bring the Titanic story life and ensuring that people are remembered. I now have the need to go and find out more about it for myself, and not from the film. Definitely another recommended read for me from this series and I would say to read them in order as relationships and certain plot points develop over time. I'm eager to find out how things go for the new West Side Detectives venture!

Reuniting true love and lost souls on the Titanic is awesome. . Fantastic journey into some of the characters of one of the great tragic shipwrecks of all time. I loved the direction of this story and the richness of this complex story. My heart was so touched by this amazing love story that lasted over a hundred years and I was rooting for the reuniting of these lovers. Our MC's Jude and Cope are wonderful and I so enjoyed having Ronan, Ten and Kevin and the rest of the folks from West Side Magick. The friendship between these men, the snark that makes me laugh and the unquestioning support is wonderful.
I learned a lot about the Titanic that I didn't know, including that the Titanic museum is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The favor the museum asks to help give peace to a haunted family is interesting. The angry ghost and our missing long lost lover are the same person and that brings the story together. .The story reads beautifully and the characters will touch your heart. A book i could not put down until I read the last page.
This is book 10 of the Haunted Souls series and would be best read in order, but should at least be read after the first couple of books in this series. The main character's back-story is developed in those books and would be essential to understanding and appreciating the characters and their relationships. i love this series.
I was gifted this book from the author and i freely give my honest opinion and review

First, let me say that I can't believe this is already the tenth book in Jude and Cope's Haunted Souls series. I am always excited to read about this couple, and I don't think I'll ever grow tired of experiencing adventures with them.
This time around, Cope and Jude head to Nova Scotia to search for the spirit of a young man lost on the Titanic, so that his recently deceased true love can reunite with him at last. They need to investigate a haunted house that has a connection to the doomed Titanic as well.
There were so many heartbreaking moments here, as expected. Along with the couple torn apart by the events of that horrible night, we also see our heroes struggling. Jude has always focused on his connection with his late father and found comfort in researching the ship and its passengers. Now, was he meets spirits and descendants of passengers who lived through the very real horror, Jude suddenly feels guilty for his fascination with the event. Meanwhile, Cope has to fight through his own feelings of negativity and ambivalence over some of the people and spirits who need his help. Both men feel especially relatable throughout this story, and I think I love them even more than before. Ronan and Kevin joining them to solve the mysteries just adds the feeling of family that makes these books so special.
This tale is an absolutely wonderful addition to the series, and I love everything about it. I highly recommend this and every book in this amazing world. So great!

Solid Use Of Misdirection. Here, Pine seems to be building to an epic confrontation through much of the book, and then... boom. Quick resolution to that conflict, move on thankyoukindly. Still, one thing that Pine truly excels at is misdirection - the tales that it seems like the resolution will come quick, you get intense, epic showdowns. The books you're anticipating the intense, epic showdown, you get something else. And yes, along the way you get the standard "police procedural" stuff of showing the friendship and family among our primary cast - this time featuring primarily medium and witch extraordinaire Copeland Forbes, private investigator with a supernatural connection Jude Byrne, and former Cold Case Captains in the Boston Police Department Ronan O'Mara and Kevin Fitzgibbon. And yes, this book is primarily focused on the Titanic disaster, with Pine showing several features many likely were unaware of, as well as crafting a few fictional details to suit her needs in this story. Yet again another book in this series that if you don't mind coming into an existing universe and having various prior books spoiled to some degree or another is a perfectly fine entry point. (So fans / followers of the Titanic and related stories, here's your shot!) And yet, also yet another book that long time fans of this ever expanding series and world will love. Very much recommended.

A very sweet, emotional read for this edition with Jude and Cope. The gang are planning a vacation before they open the new PI agency and Jude has plans. Little does he know that fate has similar plans although not quite as he expected. :)
They're off to Halifax, Nova Scotia where many of the Titanic victims are buried, a museum dedicated to the ship and home to a regular meeting of families of Titanic passengers. Cope has agreed to meet with some of these families who want to know that their ancestors are at rest or survivors families to share what they know of other victims.
I don't want to give away too much of the story, I recommend reading it for yourself. This book runs the gamut of human emotions, love, grief, anger, happiness, greed, it's all here. I loved the references to the Titanic both the fictional and actual and I always love a book that teaches me something new. We're all familiar with the story of Titanic but the author included little facts that added to that knowledge and kept me reading well into the early hours.
A lovely addition to the series with cameos from some of our favourite characters. A definite one-sitting read, can't wait to see what's next.

Ghost ship was not the book I thought it would be. If you have read anything from Ms. Pine, she has a wicked sense of humor. Jude wants to take a vacation before opening the new Detective agency with their friends. At the same time , Cope is having a nightmare about the sinking of the Titanic and Jude and Wolfie dying. Jude's vacation choice is actually Branson, Missouri where a replica of the Titanic resides.
When the Titanic museum in Halifax, Nova Scotia calls about a ghost who is haunting the ancestors of men who recovers the victims. An angry ghost and the ghost of one of the crew members who can not rest until he finds his lost love. The story begins.
Book Ten in this series never disappoints. I love Cope, Jude, Ronan and Ten with laughter, snarky and a friendship that was forged in fire from the first books.
This book gives people like a me a history lesson into the Titanic, that I am still reading about.
I loved this book. I read it in one night and now I have to read the whole series again
Tierney and Rian is a timeless love story. In this edition of Haunted Souls, I was taken back to a history of the Titanic and a love that never died.

This was a grief driven story that is surrounded by the sinking of the Titanic. Two young men are separated for over a hundred years when one dies when the Titanic sank. Tierney lives out his ninety five years grieving for his lost love Rian. He loses sight of Rian when he falls into the sea and he is forced to remain in the lifeboat and row the people in it to safety. Now his ghost wants seeks out Jude to help him find Rian's grave. Cope is called by a museum in Nova Scotia to come help find peace for the relatives of the dead from the Titanic. There is no danger is this novel, but you don't need it. An emotional roller coaster ride for the reader and for Jude, Cope, Ronan and the Captain as they frantically try to satisfy the needs of curious and grieving relatives and finding Rian for Tierney and try to settle an angry vengeful ghost that has been haunting a family for four generations right after the sinking of the Titanic and get back to their own babies they left at home with Ten so they could help these people trapped by the the history of the Titanic. A real grabber of the heart with a mystery that sinks us into the old "can't put the book down until you finish it." Recommended reading.

The guys from Haunted Souls have come a long way. I admit that I have not read all of either this series or the Cold Case Psychic series but I have read several and I love them all. These guys are so incredible and are a wonderful band of brothers and found family. It was great to see ALL of the guys in some capacity. Cope, Jude, Ronan, and later Kevin all travel to Canada to solve a mystery surrounding the Titanic. They hope to reunite the spirit of a survivor with his long lost lover who didn’t survive the sinking of that famous ghost ship. They also are going to try and solve the haunting of a house owned by the descendants of the man who captained the ship that brought back the remains of so many people recovered from the Atlantic. The team honestly has no idea what they are in for when they start digging into the past. I could really feel the pain the survivors went through as well as that of those who didn’t. So much suffering surrounding an unspeakable tragedy. It’s hard not to be affected by it. It was also so sweet to see how in love Jude and Cope still are. I loved this story and can’t wait to see what happens with the West Side Detectives in the future!

Wow oh wow oh wow!!!!!
This is the 10th book in the Haunted Souls series and they just keep getting better. This one starts on 15th April 1912 the night Titanic sank and follows two lovers. One dies and one survives. We then jump today and Cope is having nightmare about that night. He is then persuaded to go to Canada for the annual gathering of the families of those who survived the sinking, to help them reconnect with their family members, also to see if he can identify those in un-named graves and help a family being haunted.
Of course Jude goes along as does Ronan, they are joined later by Kevin. There is heart aches as all the men missing their families, the ghost of the lover who survived - Tierney wants to be reunited with his lover - Rian who died that night and none of the ghosts in the un-named graves are there. They do solve the haunting and Tierney and Rian are reunited. Be prepared to spend a lot of time crying while reading this, the tragedy of that night, what happened afterwards and the knowledge that Tierney spent his life alone never loving another. I can't recommend this book enough and can't wait for the next one.

What a wonderfully original read.
This thoroughly engaging and complex story arc includes the regulars from West Side Magick.
Jude and Cope set off to Canada with Ronan and Kevin to help reunite two long lost lovers in the afterlife and to also assist a family, with ties to the Titanic, who have been haunted for generations.
The tragedy of the Titanic is the heart of this book and as such, not only did the characters feel all the emotions but so did I. Tears of sorrow for Tierney and Rian and tears of happiness when they got their very much longed for HEA.
The weaving of the Titanic characters with the present day was brilliantly done and I was engrossed from the very first page.
This was a perfect balance of an intriguing plot that flows seamlessly with strong characters to hold it all together. And Jude also manages to include “Bohemian Rhapsody” into a romantic moment with Cope!

This book had me in my feeling through all of it. It had me crying, excited, and in suspense. Seeing Jude and Cope deal with their feels also was so inspiring for me. I cried right along with Cope from his dream. I cried with Jude from his overwhelming guilt and compassion.
Tiernney and Rian were so in love it was heartbreaking what they went through. I cried from the separation and I cried from the reunion. Tiernney waited a century to be reunited with his true love. I want that kind of love for myself.
Both of these couples are so awe inspiring. They are relationship goals. I connected with Jude more than Cope in this book than with the others. His love of Titanic a d his reason for it made me emotional. I used to know al kinds of information like Jude about Titanic. It was a disaster that had me wanting to know more about the ship and the people.

This story is worth more than five stars but since that is all that I can award this, that is what it must settle for. This is a great adventure for Jude and Cope and friends. It has everything a reader of Pandora Pine craves, romance and mystery. Friendship and comedy. Sadness and happiness. This story tugs at the heart strings with Tierney and Rian's romance cut short by the sinking of the unsinkable ship. I cannot imagine being separate from the one you adore and not be able to see them in the next world. It so painful.
I loved the fact that the boys assist Jude and Cope on their adventure in their own ways. I loved the scenes with the little kids especially the little mermaid.
I think that the story had the perfect amount of heat and it definitely had some well written scenes.
I enjoyed it immensely.

I absolutely loved it. It was brilliantly written. I love how much respect Pandora showed towards the Titanic. I learned more about it while reading this book than I have ever learned. I also agree with Pandora that the sinking of the Titanic was a great casualty and should be treated and respected as such, not exploited and used to gain fame or riches and such. We must respect and honour those who lost their lives that day and Ghost Ship will truly remind people of that.
I also loved each and every character the love and romance between them all as well as the amazing adventure. I loved the storyline and how it developed. I felt every single emotion and I could visualise every description. This was an absolutely amazing read. Pandora Pine well done on an amazing book and what an amazing journey you took us on. I can not wait to see what comes next.

5 solid stars
I loved this book. There are two cases here. The first case is about reuniting a the spirit of surviving crew member on the Titanic with his lover who perished that fateful night. A century+ is a long time to be separated. The story is beautifully told and extremely respectful of the maritime disaster. The second case involves the century long terrorizing of a family connected to the Titanic tragedy. Who knew Jude was a titanic Titanic buff? This is a different sort of story for Jude and Cope. More romantic than any of their early cases, and the author really captures the emotions of longing and profound sorrow. Granted, I guessed the “twist” from the very beginning, but the journey in getting to the end was still richly rewarding. I may or may not have shed a few tears over this one.

This one hits hard with the emotions! I loved the story about Tierney and his lost lover, Rian. It was heartbreaking to see how they were separated and all I wanted was for them to finally reunite so they could have forever together. I think this may be one of the heaviest emotional and romantic mysteries in this series. Pandora Pine does a splendid job of bringing this element of fiction to the tragedy of the Titanic. It’s the perfect mix of heartbreaking, sweet, and hopeful - enough so as to pull both the reader and the characters into history.
And, as always, found family is a strong part of the book. Ronan, Ten, and the whole gang are back to offer support for Cope and Jude. The interactions between these characters and their families always warms my heart!

Forever love
“Forever starts today.” Pandora Pine skillfully and seamlessly blended Titanic facts and fiction, all centered around a heartbreaking but beautiful love story. The way it was written really humanized everything for me. It put faces and families before me and tied my emotions to the tragic event in a way I had never felt. Of course, I fully enjoyed catching up with Cope and Jude, not to mention the helpings hands that made appearances, but my favorite parts were the mystery about the ghost haunting and the hunt to reunite long-lost lovers, Tierney and Rian. The book and the love story made my romantic heart flutter with happiness and joy.

Putting the past to rights
Once again, I find myself amazed by this series and everything incorporated into these books. The relationships, the emotions, and the staggering amount of research all combine into a poignant and enthralling tale. I appreciate not only the story, but the sensitivity towards both survivors and victims of what was certainly a tragedy. I lost track of the number of times I teared up while reading Ghost Ship. I also had to laugh at some of the trips down memory lane as the guys recounted some of their shared past to Copeland. Please excuse me while I recover from my book hangover.

The relationships between the lovers, business partners and best friends in the Cold Case Psychic world are what sets these books apart from all others. The fact that Pandora Pine writes kick ass, well researched stories is beside the point. Trying to reunite ill fated lovers from the Titanic has both Cope and Jude realizing what they have and how they could cope if death separates them. The pair are wonderful together; strategizing how to unite spirits. Or just missing their son.
They are joined by Ronan and the very sexy, Fitzgibbon in this very fast paced, romp of a book. And guess what, you learn a little bit of history along the way.

Out of the 10 books written so far in the Haunted Souls series this is definitely by far my favourite one with Jude and Cope.
I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries about the Titanic of late (probably because there’s not been much to watch on telly during these pandemic times) as well as the James Cameron movie so reading about Tierney and Rian onboard and the tragic events that unfolded made it very easy to imagine all this in my head and feel like I was actually with them. Pandora had outdone herself with this one I love the whole concept of a gay couple in that time and proving that love can conquer anything including lady time herself.

Titanic
The Titanic bound for New York, on April 13th it hit an Iceberg and started sinking after midnight on April 14th. A lot of old information shared in the first few books of the series was repeated in this book as Jude tells Cope about the witch trial victims at the inn. Copes reaction is that he never heard this story before even though it was told and talked about over and over since the first book. No mention at all about Jude's grandfather, his Heritage or his Phoenix. The Mysteries they investigate are all really good but the writing with each book is getting sloppy as things become most or forgotten from one book to the other.
