BRIEF SUMMARYRiley has battle Laria, the witch ghost, whose held Ian earth bound for centuries. Helping Ian to cross over, Riley began to feel normal starting school and meeting new friends. On her first day of school she meets Kade, a descendent of the MacKinnon family and the splitting image of Ian. As her feelings starts to grow for Kade, danger comes in the form of Laria and she isn't finish with Riley. Laria has become stronger and manipulates everything around her, as well as brought a few friends from her past with her to help in her chaos.THOUGHTSThe haunted gives you a thrilling excitement that hooks you in and scares you at the same time. Fans of the first book, 'The Deepest Cut' will not be disappointed with J.A Templeton's continuation of Riley's ghostly world and teen romance. This is a stellar work of fiction that I would love to give more than five stars. This young adult story is for a very mature YA audience.The story immediately picks up from 'The Deepest Cut' which was good for me. It felt good to reconnect with everyone again. The first book gave us Riley's time throughout the summer, while the second book has us experiencing her time at school. We also had additional characters to the story that we either love to hate or love. One of the additions I enjoyed was Madison, Cait and Kade's cousin; I liked her spunkiness.Laria gave me the heebee geebees in book one and she accomplish it in book two. Her presence was definitely felt. Her manipulation that she causes around her definitely brought out an excellent plot. I can hardly wait for book three 'The Departed'.  As for Kade, I just want to age him ten years and have my wicked way with him and I'm crossing my fingers for Shane and Cait.storyline: GOODEnjoyment: GOODRomance Novel Junkies
