Completing the initial Loveletting trilogy of Haunt and Curse, Ghost ties it...all together? Dive deeper into the characters you know. Meet dramatis personae you wish you hadn’t. Go places with both, you’d never imagined. More questions will arise for each that is answered; as the world-building unfurls, nothing is as it seems. The Loveletting saga picks up in Ghost right after the cliffhanger events of Curse, although not straight away, as new characters merge into the story along with old favorites. A gripping plot that doesn’t stray away, but intertwines instead, stretching across the whole series for readers to bond, explore, and abhor. Powerfully developed characters that will inspire, amuse, provide answers, and pose new questions; introducing riddles along the way and beguiling enigmas you may have to piece together for the upcoming books. Great mysteries will be revealed within the pages, as backstories and secrets that are unraveled only to challenge both the mind and the morals. The world explored in Ghost will not see the shadows wane, instead new ones will be cast with a touch of magical realism and a heavy dose of sinister psychological horror, all intertwined with the overarching storyline of a deeply gothic romance. This journey will draw you in with the inception of a true evil that festers the mind, and a new character that will have your skin crawling until the very end. Ghost is gut-wrenching, unapologetic, raw, and honest, depicting the most elementary mistakes of mankind to be made, but also the most convoluted. But above all, the question will be answered...whose eyes locked with Charlotte’s, before the world dissolved into a blank void? Whose face was marred to the skull? And, whose mask will be the last to fall… With the release of the third book in her Loveletting Series (Ghost), Christina Maraziotis delivers yet another all-consuming and incredible journey. There is triumph that scales mountains as much as defeat that succumbs to the formidable valleys with bottomless depths. The reader will consume this author's enviable ability to tell her tale through the voices of her rich and believable characters with a nuance of desperation to hang onto good in a world of evil. The story opens with an exchange between Amara and her son Jonny. She is preparing for the hunt and more importantly the chance to avenge the death of someone she loved deeply—a death at the hands of Charlotte Browning... Meanwhile, James Miller hasn't been human for a long time. He knows his soul no longer exists, yet he takes pause to reminisce. He thinks about his great fortune to have Charlotte in his possession. Hate consumes his existence, "...It splits like a man's identity within a deranged mind and chooses the nerves it belongs to. And this...is but a piece of flesh that dangles about when I speak, when I eat, and drink. When I walk, when I even rest, it is all there, and yet...it is not mine..." (pg. 2) Charlotte is shackled to a bed in a hopeless den of evil. She cowers each time she hears James' footsteps approach, yet she is helpless to escape. She mourns the death of Mac Kinnon; the only man she is convinced she could ever love; yet she wrestles with her thoughts because she refuses to accept that he truly is dead. Is he? In a passing moment of clarity, she wonders if Marshal Patrick Tilghman will rescue her. He left her in Mayhaw—his parting assurances that she would be safe, but no one is safe as long as James Miller is still alive. Does Patrick know James has her? Many will join forces with the Marshal to capture the elusive James Miller. Brothers Sven and Viggo understand the darkness that surrounds Miller. They enlighten Tilghman over the fact he is not dealing with something human. Rather, they are embarking upon a journey to eradicate evil; knowing all too well that Miller is a subhuman creature full of dark forces and evil. They will travel through many towns—Mon Luis, Mayhaw, Nephilim Cove and many more in their quest. There will be blood and death; good facing an evil beyond their wildest imaginations...and the end journey will place them face-to-face with a reckoning that points to survival on one hand and destruction on the other. To say I was elated to have the privilege to review another book in this exceptional series is an understatement. In the beginning pages of Ghost, the third book in the Loveletting series, Christina Maraziotis wastes no time in re-introducing her cache of characters we have become all too familiar with. Maraziotis delights in familiarizing us with nuances that are signature to each character—Mac Kinnon with his larger than life presence that requires nothing more than an occasional 'Hmm' to get his point across; Jesse McCoy with his mannerisms of being a young man outlaw working hard to come into his own. Charlotte Browning; never to be viewed as the damsel in distress, but the reader is reminded often of her soft side when she laments of her undying love fo
