Haunted Ground

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Joanne Long

When American Lexi Maxwell buys a derelict mansion in a quaint English village and sets about turning it into a manor-house hotel, it’s a dream come true. But events take a turn for the bizarre, as a heartbroken ghost makes a nightly appearance and kneels beneath a tree next to a centuries-old ruin, and people in the village keep commenting on Lexi’s resemblance to a woman who’s been dead for a quarter of a century.

As Lexi tries to find out more about the man in the ruin, she unexpectedly stumbles upon secrets from her own past - secrets that threaten to destroy everything she’s come to believe and hold dear. As Lexi struggles to put the pieces of the puzzle together, she’s drawn deeper into the mystery and can only rely on the man she’s come to have deep feelings for - a man who’s battling his own demons.

I was captivated

Two timelines, two couples in the gripping story of a young woman striking out on her own and finding herself. Did not see the plot twist coming at all!

Promising but misses the mark

The story has great promise, but this is more of a romance novel set in a spooky atmosphere, written in a somewhat juvenile style, dwelling needlessly on the sexual details and Lexi's immature emotional reactions, irrelevant descriptions along the way as if paid by the word, and read in a manner more akin to reading a bedtime story to a youth than in a gravitas for an adult. All not bad, and I don't mean to be uncharitable; just not a great experience.

Gripping. Fantastic writer and narrator.

I couldnt stop listening. Gripping story. Excellent narration. Loved it. Descriptive and fantastic. Great characters.

Love the plot

You can’t go wrong with this book or any of Irina Shapiro’s books. I loved the twist and turns of the story. It’s a must listen to. You won’t regret listening to it!

Another wonderful story from Irina Shapiro

I loved this book and the narrator was very good. if you love Outlander (Diana Gabaldon)and Susanna Kearsley's books then in my opinion you will love Irina Shapiro's books!

Enchanting

Awesome love story. Heartrending and heartwarming. Narrator did an amazing job. Will recommend this author.

another great read from this author!

I'm really getting hooked on this author. This is my sixth book of her's and I really enjoyed it! The narrator's voice was jarring at first, but I grew to like her.

Really enjoyed it

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The story takes place in 2 timelines and really pulled me in. The narrator does a wonderful job of bringing each character to life.

Good, but....

The reader was good, but her speaking was very fast and choppy. It was difficult to relax and listen.
