Haunted by You by Louise Davis

jenwoodrum's review

What a gripping story!

This YA novel weaves in romance, mystery, suspense, and supernatural elements in such a unique way.

Steve and Genevieve were both so loveable. I especially enjoyed Steve's relationship with his grandma and seeing him try so hard to change for the better. My heart broke as he went through struggles and I was rooting for them to work it out!

The author used a lot of interesting suspense elements, such as when the readers sometimes knew more than the characters did, which really raised the tension.

All of the characters were so genuinely good, wanting to protect their families and each other. The final climax was so good!!

Well done to the author- I'm excited to read her other books. Thank you for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book definitely gripped my attention early on. It is fast paced, suspenseful, while also having humor and light moments. I loved Genevieve and Steve! Their relationship was so sweet! Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to read some thrills and suspense.

What a journey! I don't really read very many teen romance novels, but I'm glad I made the exception with this one (if you add in suspense, that usually helps).

This is the debut novel of Louise Davis, and now I'm excited to see what else she comes up with. I love discovering new authors!

Genevieve and Steve meet on a tour of a haunted building, and it's actually fun to watch their romance bloom. But things get complicated when Genevieve finds out her family has a dark secret--and that a stranger is blackmailing them for it. In order to help her family, Genevieve must delve deeper into forgotten pasts, and she's only hoping that Steve will join her on that quest.

This is an exciting read with fun characters, and all the twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Louise Davis did a wonderful job with this novel. Full of friendships, relationships, love, loss, grief, adventure, and mystery. Haunted by You kept my attention. I laughed out loud, cried, and couldn’t stop turning the page.

I loved this book! It was a perfect October read! I loved that my teen daughter and I could read it together, I also really loved that the author put little bits of true facts and history about South Carolina in it, I now want to visit and go to those places! We can’t wait for book 2!

This book is Fantastic! First Louise Davis reels you in with a budding romance, then tickles your super natural fancy with a few true spook stories, until she sends you down a long dark hallway of suspense. I was unable to put the book down! Louise is a phenomenal writer with good flow and plot. Her characters are relatable and interesting and I love their dynamics!
