Review: IT HAS IT'S MOMENTS BUT...
Rating: 3 out of 5

It has taken me three days to finish a book with only 205 pages.  This fact alone does not bode well for the appeal of Their Haunted Eyes because typically if I find a book enthralling I can finish 205 pages in one day at least and a day and a half at most.  This is the second book in the Ravynne Sisters Series that I've read.  Although, I was not overly impressed by the first book I read in the Series, A Haunting at Storm Island, the ending of said book persuaded me to give the series another shot which is why I read this book.Sadly, I wasn't anymore impressed by this book than I was by the first one I read.  The story simply failed to consistently maintain my interest.  Additionally, I couldn't figure out who I found more irritating Meg or Charlie.  I finally decided upon Meg.  Of course, it is impossible to truly enjoy a story if you dislike the main character or characters.I realize that this is fantasy/fiction and, therefore, when reading it one has to suspend a certain amount of logic and reasoning.  A feat I generally achieve without difficult. However, in this instance, the situations Meg and Charlie placed themselves in were simply ridiculous defying even my normally inexhaustable ability to suspend logic and reasoning.As with Storm Island, the last 25% or so of this book was quite interesting and even had touching moments.  However, I can't continue to pay to read a series in which only 25 or 30 percent of the story/book is truly interesting.  However, this 25% did save this book from a 2 star rating and earned it an upgrading to 3 stars.  According to Amazon's rating scale 2 stars means "I don't like it" whereas 3 stars means "It's okay."  Despite this upgrade, I still can't recommend this book or this Series because there are just too many series out there that are so much better.  For example, the Experiment in Terror Series, The Jade Calhoun Series, The Ghost Dusters Series, Ann Charles' Deadwood Series and Terri Reid's Mary Oreilly Paranormal Series.  Unfortunately for me it appears I have already read the best ones! :-(
