"Kelly Moran pens an exceptionally haunting romance. She creates a fascinating house, complete with an assortment of ghosts and an old mystery. Her characters are driven, loyal, and quite likeable."
-Fresh Fiction on Ghost of a Promise
"The author skillfully provides historical details to support the storyline. I was definitely impressed."
-The Romance Reviews TOP PICK on Ghost of a Promise
"I was completely captivated."
-Bitten By Books on Ghost of a Promise
"There's a mystery to solve, there's lust to enjoy between the characters, and there's a supporting cast of characters that were a joy to read. The pieces came together very nicely with a great balance of BOO and science. I thoroughly enjoyed this one."
-First Page to the Last Reviews on Ghost of a Promise
"Just when I thought the second book couldn't be anywhere near as great as the first... I was so wrong. Ms. Moran has a way of making the simple so self-reflective that it changes how you read a book."
-More Books Please Blog on Give Up the Ghost
"What a totally different and highly enjoyable, fast-paced, totally spooky tale! Great characters - including the phantoms - lots of mystery, angst and turmoil to keep readers enthralled from start to finish. Brilliantly written. I'll definitely be looking out for more by this author in future!"
-Splashes Into Books Blog on Give Up the Ghost
"Kelly Moran has made me a super fan of this genre, and in my opinion, I would love to see this series translated to T.V. or the Big Screen."
-Fresh Fiction on Give Up the Ghost
"An intriguing ghost story that I could not put down. I finished it in one sitting and wanted more. This story was fun, tense, involved, definitely sexy, entertaining and it kept me riveted to the pages of my Kindle."
-Keeper Bookshelf Reviews on Give Up the Ghost
"Kelly Moran's elegantly crafted tale of love and horror will have you holding your breath and sighing gustily." -In My Humble Opinion on Ghost of You
"There's something about Kelly Moran's writing which conjures images that give you chills, but also provides a romanticism between the main characters that makes you want to sigh happily."
-Bookaholics Not-So-Anonymous on Ghost of You
"A well written and addictive haunting that has twists and turns, and keeps you on your toes guessing what is to happen next as Cain and Sammy fall for one another. This should be on one of those shows on A&E or Lifetime on Haunted Areas. Even the Discovery Channel's haunted series should get this. It was that freaky and good."
-Books Are Love Blog on Ghost of You
"The author took a sceptic like me on a journey that was beautifully written, wonderfully descriptive, pulse quickening and deliciously frightening."

In “Host of a Promise” Ava discovers that she has inherited her aunt’s house if she can solve the mystery of a person who mysteriously disappeared centuries ago with proof. The house will otherwise go to the local historical society who wants it. Ava doesn’t know what to do but decides that the ghosts in the house may have be able to help her. She decides to call Phantoms a tv ghost hunter show. They agree to come and not put it on tv. Will they be able to solve the mystery? In the second book “Give Up the Ghost,” Paul and Kerry (of the Phantoms team) end up realizing that “to find love is to face death.” The last book of the trilogy “Ghost of You” Sammy (of Phantoms team) hates psychologist Cain but must work with him or else according to the networks — her boss. They must face an evil that they were not expecting.
The author has written an excellent trilogy of ghost hunting and romance in each book. The author writes the characters with feeling and personality. The three books never bored me. I liked the paranormal activity in each story. It was a page turner for me.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and Kelly Moran for giving me the opportunity to read the ARC of the Phantoms Trilogy in exchange for an honest review. I was thrilled to find out that this series combined two of my favorite pastimes, reading and watching paranormal TV.
The first book, "Ghost of a Promise", immediately captured my interest and I couldn't wait to read the rest of the trilogy to find out what would happen to the other cast members. Each of the three books follows a different mystery that needs to be solved, which kept my attention throughout.
One of the things I enjoyed the most about the trilogy was the romantic angle, which was well developed and added depth to the plot. I also appreciated how the author weaved paranormal investigations into the story, providing a behind-the-scenes look at shows like Ghost Hunters or Destination Fear. The inclusion of just the right amount of creepiness kept me on edge, wondering what would happen next.
Overall, I highly recommend the Phantoms Trilogy to anyone who enjoys a good paranormal mystery with a touch of romance. These books have just the right amount of spice to keep readers engaged and wanting more. Once again, thank you to NetGalley and Kelly Moran for allowing me to read and review this amazing series.
