Review: Amazing YA paranormal romance

I would probably actually give this book 4.5/5. It is an amazing second book in the series, but just not quite as shocking and exciting as the first one.The Haunted picks up where The Deepest Cut ends. I'm not going to say much about The Haunted because I don't want to give any spoilers for anyone who hasn't yet read The Deepest Cut. Riley has just met Kade MacKinnon, who was away for vacation over the summer when Riley first moved to Scotland. Kade is Ian's descendent, and the resemblance to Ian is striking. Riley feels as if she already knows Kade, and she easily falls for him. However, she doesn't understand why Laria is still tormenting her since Ian has moved on.I thought The Deepest Cut was amazing, and J.A. Templeton did not disappoint with The Haunted. The romance, mystery, and suspense are continued in this second book of the series. This one does go more into the hot scenes than the previous one and is recommend for older YA due to that and other content such as language and drugs. I, for one, have mixed feelings about how far these scenes should go with it being a YA novel; however, I still really enjoyed it. I was easily caught up in the story, and the suspense kept me turning the pages for more. I feel as if I am invested in Riley and her life, and I cannot wait for the next book of this series to find out what happens next. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who enjoys YA paranormal romance.(A copy was provided by the author for review.)
