The Haunting Season

By: Michelle Muto

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

Siler House has stood silent beneath Savannah’s moss-draped oaks for decades. Notoriously haunted, it has remained empty until college-bound Jess Perry and three of her peers gather to take part in a month-long study on the paranormal. Able to talk to ghosts, Jess quickly bonds with her fellow test subjects, who have their own “gifts.” One is possessed. Another just wants to forget. The third is a guy who knows how to turn up the August heat, not to mention Jess’s heart rate…when he’s not resurrecting the dead. The study soon turns into something far more sinister when they discover that Siler House and the dark forces within are determined to keep them forever. To escape, Jess and the others must open themselves up to the true horror of Siler House and channel the very evil that seeks to hold them in.

very entertaining!

thank you for the free book and fun read, Michelle Muto! the characters were interesting and the story fun and yet quite scary at times.

Interesting to a point

Where does The Haunting Season rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

around the middle.

Who was your favorite character and why?

None of them--couldn't really engage.

Any additional comments?

sort of 'meh' The reader tried too hard and it intruded on the book itself, at times. The story was fairly interesting, but I doubt I'll listen to it again.

Finished it.

It's ok probably won't be one I relisten though. There were chapters one or two that I did skip over which contained two very thirsty teens/new young adults were a bit much to listen to for me personally at least. I was here more for the ghosts then the romance aspect but it was enjoyable and sometimes creepy in the good way.

I wanted something outside of my usual

This book was creepy but not overly so. There were many things that reminded me of Rose Red. So if you liked that you will like this.

Familiar story held together with good performance

If you've seen the Haunting of Hill House you can anticipate the story, with few changes. Didn't realize that young people were the primary characters, and could have lived without the romance and heavy breathing. Probably suited for young adults, but too predictable for adult ghost story fans. Excellent performance and entertaining but not in the "scare the heck out of you" category.
