Praise for The Haunted:

"A contemplative read touched with the chill of the grave and the longing of the heart." 
----E.J. Stevens (From the Shadows, reviews)

"This darker follow-up to The Hollow (2009) opens with 17-year-old Abbey Browning still mourning the death of her best friend, Kristen, and reeling from the discovery that her boyfriend, Caspian, is actually a ghost. Abbey initially resists Caspian, whose otherworldly status can only cause heartbreak; but as Abbey and Caspian fall deeper in love, they uncover Kristen's murderer and learn the true meaning of "soul mates." Verday deviates from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which she ambitiously tried to integrate into the first book, to introduce some sinister new characters who heighten the suspense of this drawn-out sequel." 
Grades 8-11. --Kimberly Garnick (Booklist)

"Like Twilight (Little Brown) and the Vampire Diaries (HarperTeen) series, Verday's planned trilogy (of which The Haunted is the second installment) is characterized by its protagonists' unrequited passions and its narrative's gradual revelation of a second, supernatural world, the rules of which are distinct and complicated. This lengthy novel ends with a cliffhanger, as Abbey is positioned to make a choice that may or may not ensure the eternity of her relationship with Caspian; this trope will all but guarantee an audience for the trilogy's final novel."
--VOYA, October 2010

"The Haunted completely blew me away, I loved it! ...be prepared to be blown away by this thrilling sequel! It's romantic and mysterious with great characters and an exciting ending that was a huge cliffhanger! 2011 can't come fast enough.""
--The Book Scout (Book Reviewer)

"Jessica Verday does it again!! She delivers another fantastic book, the second in the trilogy, The Haunted." 
--Sandy Faust (Book Reviewer)

"Jessica Verday captured the innocence of true and timeless love. Every exhausted flick of my eye was focused on finishing another page of the story. 
My only disappointment in this book... Is the wait for the next installment. Please Jessica write fast!!!" 
--Mama G (Book Reviewer)

"... the sexual tension is burning between Abbey and Caspian which really made the read go by fast because all I wanted them to touch just as muh as she did. It makes me sad knowing that this trilogy is just one book away from the end but I cannot wait to read more about what is to become of Abbey and Caspian because their love is so special. I hope this book is enjoyed by others just as much as I liked it."
--Brit Yeager (Goodreads Reviewer)

"Jessica did it again. ...There is also a few really funny moments as well I was in knots with laughter. Also, a couple of sad moments that brought the tears to my eyes. I recommend this to those to like to read stories that is emotional and gripping. 
Can't wait for Forever!!!!! It can't come fast enough"
--Sioban (Love, Fantasy, Sci-Fi novels, reviews)

"The novels contain many elements that I can selfishly indulge in; the atmosphere of the Fall season, oils (my oil burner is only rewarded a reprieve while I am asleep), and a quaint town with the dream of opening a cozy shop, to name a few. All in all, The Haunted was a wonderful accompaniment to my Ben & Jerry's ice cream on a sleepy Fall night. Twice the nice, half the calories. Sometimes it doesn't get better than that." 
--Kaiden Blake (Reviewer)

"I can't tell you how much I wish it were a real story I could visit."
--The Book Splot, book reviewer

"I give this book a 100000000000 out of 10..." 
--Deborah's Cafe, book reviews
