Haunted blends horror, fantasy and comedy to create a fun and suspenseful read. Every story is well-written and left me wondering what would happen next. There are a lot of twists and turns throughout the stories so it’s always a surprise, especially at the end. As for the characters, they are believable and make the story relatable. I love how I felt as if I knew the characters, whether they were human or not! The descriptions are very vivid. If you like ghosts and scary stories, you should read Haunted. I can’t wait to read more books by Heather Beck. – Young Adult Books Central

Haunted is a riveting collection of spine-chilling ghost stories. It’s a creepy and surprisingly fun read. My favourite story is The Manor On The Rocks because it was so scary and had tons of plot twists that kept me guessing who was the real ghost. I highly recommend this book to people who love fun, scary and imaginative stories. – Book Hooks

Young adults who love ghost stories and a little mystery will love these stories. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them as must reads! I especially loved A Haunting Past. Full of ancient Native lore, this story had me turning the page to find out what would happen next. Kids and parents alike will love this story. I found it funny, spooky, and very well written. This story completely sucked me in. I haven't enjoyed a story so much in a long time. – Lenore Wolfe

When I read Haunted, it brought back memories of my childhood. You know the ones about a creepy house that all your friends dare you to go into or perhaps you were told one of the local urban legends that kept you up at night. Haunted held that essence of creepy within its pages. Five short stories filled with fantasy, legend, and horror and written in a fun and fast pace that will appeal to readers of all ages. Some of these stories reminded me of the old adage “No good need goes unpunished.” I think the cover is stunning. I also love that while it is simplistic it speaks volumes to the theme of the book. From the ominous dark clouds, the creepy old house, to the ghost girl. Sometimes less is more and in this case it works nicely. Creepy and compelling without all the visual gore. – Escape Between The Pages

For a middle grader, Haunted would be classed scary enough to be called a horror. These stories are brilliant for easily introducing children to such stories. They are easy to read and simply worded. I enjoyed reading them. My favorite story was The Manor On The Rocks. It was a scary read and I am 24! So if you’re in your early teens or looking for some fun, easy reading this book is for you! – Secret Lives Of Fiction Lovers

This was an interesting light horror read [where] the stories [kept] getting creepier. I think this would be a perfect book for readers who want to start reading horror. – A Writer's Dark Corner
