The crew of Haunted Ends is diverted from filming their show when a cursed and extremely haunted pirate ship, the Serpents Cross, docks off the coast of San Francisco. After repeated attempts by the Coast Guard to tow the pirate ship back to the sea have left many hospitalized, they call Rocky and Sam to help. The paranormal duo must persuade the Serpents Cross’ phantom captain to leave San Francisco Bay peacefully. However, if the Captain’s requests are not satisfied, he has deadly plans for the citizens of San Francisco.
I was hooked from page one of this latest addition to the Haunted Ends series. The Haunted Ends team are brought in when a cursed ship, with a literal skeleton crew, sail into the harbour and no one can tow the ship back out to sea. Rocky and Sam must find a way to make the ship leave. This story takes them deeper into the paranormal world, which introduces a demon character that is just as loveable as Sam, the ghost.
I have quite a busy schedule at the moment, so I had to read this book over a few weeks. Normally, I hate doing that because you have to re-read pages to remind you of what happened last time you read the book. But for this book, that was never an issue - the story/characters are so memorable that I never needed to re-read anything. This is a must-read!
Unfortunately, the last two books in this series seemed rushed. The endings left me wondering where the rest of the book went. To be honest, this one was a bit of a disappointment.
