A haunting paranormal romance.

I really enjoyed the intense haunting and the various ways that contact was made during this well written paranormal romance. Many of these haunting events were frightening and some were downright horrifying. I cannot go into too many details of The Haunting of Hillwood Farm without giving spoilers but the story was an edge of the sea, nail biting one exciting one with a great ending.Ms James' narration was outstanding. There were many characters to voice and each voice was easily recognisable and showed the emotions of the characters.  The story was an intense one and this was reflected in the narration. The mixture of Kathryn Knight's writing and Ms James' narration came together to produce a fabulous audiobook.

Creepy Ghost Mystery/Romance

Cassie did not want to seek out ghosts, but sweet old Alice was insistent that she come to her house and see if she can communicate with the ghost of Alice's recently passed husband. But Cassie soon realizes that it is not Alice's husband haunting the house, but instead it is another spirit with much sinister motives. Luke does not believe in ghosts and wants Cassie to leave his grandmother alone, but when he gets to know Cassie he realizes that she intrigues him, even when he thinks she is lying. But soon things are happening that Luke can't explain and the two need to team up to really understand what is going on.

This is the second audiobook I have listened to/read by Kathryn and I appreciate her stories. She creates scary atmosphere and great character dynamics, making her books really enjoyable and fast reads. This story was roughly 5.5 hours in length, allowing this to be perfect to listen to in a single afternoon. Kathryn makes her ghosts scary, building my tension and keeping me on the edge of my seat, while at the same time the scenarios are realistic, as if this story could really happen. I appreciate her storytelling qualities, while at the same times reminding the reader that this is still very much a romance too. Kathryn walks a nice line between a horror ghost story, a surprising mystery and a sweet romance- all three genres I love and mesh so well together. I am pretty sure that I am sounding like a fan girl at this moment but I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait to get my hands on another scary romance audiobook written by her.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Kristin, was fantastic, keeping me engaged in the story and the drama the entire time. The view point switched between both Callie and Luke and the narrator was able to give them individual voice and personality. I am sure that this would make a great read in general, but listening to this story really made me feel like I was watching it all unfold in front of me, as if I was part of it. I highly recommend picking this one up as an audiobook.

WOW WOW WOW

I could not stop listening and at the end, wanted more! Brilliant story that captures supernatural and romance! Loved this and look forward to authors next!

meh....

not the best book i’ve listened to but not the worst either, it was quick and held my attention and i honestly had no clue about the outcome, which makes me feel a little bit slow. i would recommend this book to ppl that like romance books but don’t like to hear/read every single detail about what happens while characters are doing the damn thing lol

Exceeded my expectations

I’m a fan of a good ghost story. Mix in suspense, the unknown, and romance and you get an even better story. It certainly surprised me how much I enjoyed listening. The narrator did a great job with keeping me entertained and invested in this story. One I would certainly recommend.

spooky

A very good ghost story with a malevolent spirit out to harm, a psychic, Callie and the woman she tries to help. When the grandson Luke shows up at first he is sceptical but when things happen to him he jumps right into help and into Callie's heart. But getting rid of the spirit is not easy and the baggage they carry in their minds and hearts ate not easy on a budding relationship. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.

Good story

I really liked the story. I would sh it had been fleshed out a little more but I loved the creepy moments. The narrator did a really good job. Each character had a distinct voice.

Great Ghost Story

Audiobook Review…I have found that when I listen to an audiobook, I listen to more than just the words the narrator is saying. I hear the tones, the emotions, and the feelings that the characters are having. Kirstin James is wonderful. She brought all the characters alive, the ghosts, the haunting, the live characters all became real to me. I could feel their fear, their love, and the wonder at what was happening in the world around them. Kathryn Knight wrote a book that I loved in the eBook form and I was so excited to listen to the story on Audible. Everything about both versions are wonderful.
eBook Review…I am not a ghost story reader yet when Kathryn Knight writes a new book, I don’t hesitate to read it. Callie is not a ghost whisperer. She did not even know that she could communicate with ghosts until she lost her boyfriend and heard him after he was gone. She isn’t in it for the money, but she is willing to try to help Mrs. Turner when a ghost is haunting her house.

This ghost, oh my, was nasty. The ghost caused havoc caused harm and was just mean. I had goosebumps from some of the things that they did to the Turners and Callie. I was unsure of how I would have reacted, ok no, I know that I would have run, screaming and begging for someone to explain why things were shattering, doors were closing, and something was trying to cause me bodily harm.

Luke, Mrs. Turner’s grandson, had the right idea in being doubtful of Callie’s skill and her real reason behind helping his grandmother. I liked that he didn’t just jump into the belief and questioned what was going on. I also liked how he tried to fight his attraction to Callie. He did not just jump at being with her, he took the time to get to know her, understand what was going on with her, and he respected her fear of relationships.

Pick up The Haunting of Hillwood Farm. It is a must read. This is a wonderful ghost story that is quick, easy, and fun to read.

Romantic Suspense

I love a good ghost story and this didn’t disappoint. The romance aspect kept the story light enough but I caught my eyes getting wide at a few thrilling moments. Tragedy, mystery, suspense, thrill...great combination.

Good ending!

I must say the narrator was spot on for this book. Her voice was a perfect for a ghost story. It was a little slow to start for me but once it started it was good. The ghost aspect was fun and the slow burn romance was the cherry on top. I liked the characters, Alice being a personal favorite. Intriguing and fun with a good ending.
