I loved this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up of hers. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first as it is just as great. Her stories pull me in from the beginning and her attention to details give the story a realistic feel. This book is no different. This is a story about Logan, Angel and one accident that changes everything for them. This is a story where guilt and a haunting past come colliding together. This is a fast paced story that has twists and turns that left me turning pages fast to the end. This was a great story and I highly recommend it.
This is the second book in the Soul Connection series. The main character, Scott, from the first book is more of a minor character in this book (but he is still important.) Angel is hit by a car at a party by a man that has been stalking her for years. While her body is in a coma, her soul has inhabited another woman’s body. She tries to find out what is going on and get back to her own body. Logan lost his sister a few years ago and has survivor’s guilt. He has become an alcoholic and is the one who hit Angel with a car. He is just hoping that she survives, not just to keep himself out of jail for murder but also because he has added on more guilt. Opinion I absolutely loved the first book and expected to like this one jsut as much. There are some differences between the last and the present book. I was confused in several parts because there are so many characters, both in and out of their right bodies. The main concept of the book is a cool idea that I still find interesting. Overall, I liked the book but thought there was too much to follow.

“Chameleon” is a paranormal/gothic YA suspense novel by author Zoe Kalo.
Puerto Rico, 1973: After being kicked out of her old school for performing a séance (and other “illicit” acts), Paloma finds herself abandoned by her mother and stepfather at an isolated convent. Completely alone, 17 year old Paloma decides to survive the seven months until the end of the school year, and to try her best to avoid everyone and everything. But when a popular girl named Rubia is assigned to be Paloma’s mentor and tour guide, Paloma is soon immersed in a small group of friends who are intrigued by the paranormal and encourage Paloma to attempt a séance at the convent. As soon as the séance is completed though, tragic accidents begin to plague the campus, and one of their own is dead. But is a ghostly force to blame? Or something far more sinister?
“Chameleon” is creative, and it has a “Madam” (by Phoebe Wynne) or “Prep”(Curtis Sittenfeld) kind of vibe, in that a group of young girls at a boarding school (of sorts) get together and trouble ensues. In “Chameleon” though, the trouble is of a paranormal sort, or at least that is what is implied.
The characters in this novel, in pure teenage fashion, are not what they seem. All of them are likable, in their own angst-y ways, but it is obvious that all of them have some deep, dark skeletons in their closet. Paloma was especially relatable, and her relationships with her peers played out in a very realistic way.
A few sections of the book play out like ‘dream sequences’, where things happen in rapid succession, and the sequence of events is portrayed in a very disjointed way, almost as if in a delusional state. It reads like a dream, and I expected it to be such, but then it is discovered that the events are actually happening, and I was left struggling to catch up. Some major details were skimmed over in these sections, and although I understand what Kalo was going for, I desperately wanted those spaces filled in in my mind.
I am not sure if this novel is part of a series or not, but the ending sure reads like another book may be forthcoming. Although most of the unanswered questions receive satisfying answers, there is a dangling carrot at the end that is not completely resolved.
“Chameleon” is well-told, with dark, gothic settings and disturbed young female characters who are somehow still likable. Kalo does a great job bringing a reader along for the ups and downs of the plot, and I was thoroughly invested in seeing how this novel would end.

This book had me hooked. Kalo had us guessing who the real villain was from the start. I felt like at times I loved the character of Paloma then others I wasn’t sure. The twists and turns has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. You don’t know exactly who you trust and who you don’t. It’ll even has you questioning yourself through out. This YA thriller is such a good story from beginning to the end. The title definitely describes the story well.
No matter where she goes, USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Lynn Barrett hears voices in her head. Instead of calling her crazy and locking her up, her family realizes it’s just a product of being an author and allows her to write the stories so that the voices shut up.
But they don’t. And probably never will. There’s no need to lock her up, Nikki knows she’ll never escape the voices, not until each and every last story is written. And for every story she writes, about ten or more ideas pop up.
When she isn’t slaving away at her computer writing books that will probably make you cry and keep you in suspense, Nikki plots to take over the world one book at a time. What? It’s a sickness. One she can’t escape!
Books aren’t her only addiction, though. Nikki can be found making up parodies to drive her son crazy, and bantering back and forth with her husband, who somehow manages to steal her away from the fictional world she lives in all the time.
Nikki lives in Arizona with her husband and son, where she can be found using every creativity outlet she can find through music, photography, handcrafted things, and random interests that she may pick up from time to time.
Paloma, 17 years old, is forced to leave behind her family and spend the remainder of her senior year of high school in a convent. Wanting to do nothing but read and make it through the next seven months, Paloma quickly finds herself forming a friendship with a group of long time residents of the convent. But what is really happening at the convent? Are the girls and the nuns all what they claim to be? Filled with heart pounding suspense, Chameleon is an edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the last page. Murder, ghosts, paranoia….all wrapped up into one novel. A must read that was impossible to put down!
I enjoyed this supernatural thriller. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her. This is a well written story that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. The characters are relatable and made the story engaging. I enjoyed being pulled into the story which kept me turning pages to the end. I found this book to be fast paced and entertaining to read. This is a story about Paloma and a seance to contact her dead father but what happens is not what she was expecting. When she holds a second seance she awakens a spirit that wants to keep its secret, just that secret. The twists and turns left me turning pages fast. This was a great morning read and I highly recommend it.

The very woman who has guarded her heart in the past will soon find herself wrapped in a web of denial, leading to a heart-wrenching reality. For every truth she exposes, more heartache is found.

Trent, Logan’s childhood friend and lawyer, from “Love at first hunt” inherits an old, creepy and haunted house from a relative he hardly knows. He also knows just who to call to get it off his hands. Tina, Allison’s eccentric friend, is the best real estate agent in Michigan, who reluctantly agrees to help Trent. I’m a bit of chicken but this book had me on the edge of my seat and also had my heart racing. Carrie Pulkinen out did herself in this one for the suspense she recreated in this book had me reading with the lights on.

I really liked Trent and Tina in book one so was excited to see this book about them. What do you do when you inherit a house that’s haunted and the ghost wants you dead? Well this is Trent’s dilemma. Seeing characters from the first book as they’re all friends, was nice and these 2 were fun to read about.

“Trent ascended the stairs, stepping lightly on the creaky wood panels to avoid putting a foot through the floor. He slid the key into the lock and twisted the knob. The hinges creaked as the door swung open, the knob pulling from his hand as if someone on the other side yanked it from his grasp….. He peered inside. Hollow darkness greeted him. Haunting. A shiver ran down his spine, and it wasn’t from the chilling winter air whispering through the trees. The whole scene creeped him out.”
Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the second book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is a superb paranormal romance- with ghosts, paranormal + supernatural elements, danger, mystery, tension, wonderful characters, chemistry, and a whole lot of sizzle. Trent Austin, whom we met in book one- being the best friend of Logan, has just inherited a dilapidated estate from his recently deceased Uncle. The old Victorian mansion certainly has a creepy, menacing vibe- and Trent couldn’t wait to get rid of it. Tina Saunders, whom we also met in book one- being the best friend of Allison, is the best realtor in the area- and is who Trent calls to help off load his Uncle’s estate. These two have some recent history- so the spark between them doesn’t take much to reignite. Add threats, sinister and creepy vibes, danger, drama- and a whole lot of steam… and this story just wouldn’t let me put it down. This story could be read as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on a different couple. But having said that, I really recommend reading the three books together, as there are recurring characters to meet- as well as fantastic storylines that you would miss out on otherwise. As I have mentioned many, many times previously- I have developed a severe addiction to Ms. Pulkinen’s stories- but it’s an addiction that I am more than happy to indulge- so, no rehab needed! Highly recommended for all paranormal romance lovers!

Second Chance Spirit (Book Two of the Haunted Ever After series) by Carrie Pulkinen was a great read! This series I think just gets better and better. I can’t tell which I like the most so far! This author does a great job with the humor, and romance and steam, without overdoing it. The storyline was amazing and so were the characters. I absolutely loved seeing more of Tina. She was definitely a favorite character from the first book. Pulkinen is quickly becoming a favorite author, and I can’t wait to more of her books. I can’t wait to read the third book in this series soon!

Something in the house wants Trent dead. As he battles to win the affections of the sultry real estate agent, he’s also fighting for his life. Successful big-city lawyer, Trent Austin, does not have time for the run-down Victorian house he just inherited from a crazy uncle. Determined to get rid of it as soon as he can, he contacts the best real estate agent in Michigan Tina Sanders. This is the second book in the Haunted Ever After Series. You will most definitely want to read the first book in the series. It can be read as a standalone, but I honestly recommend you read the first book as well. If you like steamy, second-chance romance with a ghostly twist, you’ll love this gripping tale of love and mystery.

I give Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.
If you have read book one in the series, you are familiar with both of these characters. I was really excited when I saw that this book was about them. I was not disappointed either. We learn so much more about them, what led them to be who they are today. We also see who they really are now dealing with the house and the supernatural attached to it. They are just great, real people and makes this book what it is.
But let us not forget the story itself. Going by the name of the series, there are ghosts involved. The house Trent inherits is right out of a horror movie, but one I myself would love fix up and live in. I could imagine myself right there in it. The bad vibes they feel in house, the things happening to them, again, remind me of a horror movie, but in the best way. I would not say this is a horror book, but what is and has happened is both eerie and heartbreaking.
If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance with a good dose of suspense, this book is for you. It can be read as a stand alone book, but I recommend the whole series.

A fun and ghostly paranormal romance with a second chance at love twist. Having been introduced to Trent and Tina at the end of the first book in Pulkinen‘s ‘Haunted Ever After’ series I was looking forward to reading their story. Although the characters do crossover this can be read as a standalone story but I would recommend reading ‘Love at First Haunt’ as well. Big city successful lawyer Trent Austin inherits his uncles Victorian mansion in the suburbs, it’s just a shame it’s rundown and comes with ghosts. Desperate to sell the house he calls Tina Sanders, the best real estate agent in Michigan and also his ex girlfriend who dumped him. Tina ended her relationship with Trent due to her fear of commitment but as soon as she sees him again she realises that the chemistry is still there. The situation becomes more complicated as not only is Trent trying to rekindle things with Tina but he is soon fighting for his life as something in the house wants him dead. This is a good mix of romance, comedy and mystery with a ghostly twist and I was hooked from page one. I loved the main characters and the chemistry between Tina and Trent really came across in the narrative and their mutual attraction led to some rather hot and steamy scenes. An enjoyable and engaging read, I look forward to book three in the series.

So this is book 2 in the haunted ever after series and let me tell you it didn’t disappoint I really liked Tina and Trent’s characters. I really enjoyed the sexual tension between these two and I loved that we had a believable history between them. It made me chuckle a few times and overall I am loving Carrie’s books. I can’t wait to see what she does next.
This is the second book in the Haunted Ever After Series. It can definately be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first book as we are introduced to our main characters in that book. I have loved all this authors books as they contain my two favourite things paranormal and romance. The style of writing and the authors ability to write amazing characters has you gripped from beginning to end.
Trent is a successful lawyer. When his uncle dies and leaves him his run down mansion in the suburbs the last thing he wants to do is spent time on it. So he contacts the best person he knows to get it sold. However there are two things he doesn’t count on. The fact that his uncle didn’t just leave him the house but also secrets within and the fact that the person he hires to sell it is his old flame. Tina is amazing at her job so when Trent asks her to sell his uncles house she knows she can do it. However she isn’t prepared for all the emotions and feelings it stirs up between them.
As the pair work together to get the house ready for sale they both have to deal with their emotions and feelings and also the paranormal goings on that happen around the house.

Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the Haunted Ever After series. This can be read as a standalone book but I believe better enjoyed if you have read book one first. Trent inherits a Victorian Mansion from his “crazy” uncle, but there are more issues than the eye can see. Hiring Tina to help him sell the house quickly things start going wild. Will Trent and Tina figure out the mysteries of the house? I always enjoy a new story from Carrie Pulkinen and this did not disappoint. The story is a fun, paranormal romance with a bit of thrill and chills thrown in. Second chances are all around in this story and a good reminder that some things are meant to be. This is a quick read which will have you laughing one moment and wondering what all the haunting is about the next. I look forward to reading the next book in this series soon.

So, this is the second installment in the Haunted Ever After series and I have to say that I fricken loved this one. Tina is just an amazing character who was my favourite in the first book, so I’m glad that she’s now back and is main protagonistic-ing it up in this one. As we all know, Tina is awesome at selling houses, in the first book she’d managed to sell a whopper of a place now though she has a bit of a challenge on her hands because the house that she has been asked to help sell is a bit on the creepy side. And when I say creepy, I really mean verging on Hill House levels of spooky. Another issue happens to be that the man he is helping sell the place, just so happens to be the same guy that she might have skipped out on when her feelings for him became a bit too real and scary. Trent is his name and being a hot-shot lawyer and inheriting creepy mansions is his game. When he gets the old Victorian place from his Uncle, he can’t shake the feeling that there is something seriously wrong with it, getting a spooky vibe from it the moment he sets foot in the place. So he enlists the help of Tina and, while she’s super shocked to get such an invitation from him, reticent to dip her toe back into the scarily deep pool of emotions she felt for him before, she agrees. I thought this was a great read, and all the simmering sexual tension between the two characters felt believable because of the history between them, and also because I have to say that Tina is an awesome character and wherever you stick her she just makes it better. This feels like the Pulkinen I’m used to and the Pulkinen I love and adore. A nice feisty, sure of herself protagonist with a dash of sexual tension and just all-around fun and giggles to tie it all together. I am looking forward to reading the next book, after this I honestly cannot wait.

Second Chance Spirit is the 2nd book in the Haunted Ever After series, I have read a lot of books by this author, but I think this series is my favourite so far. This book follows on from the end of the previous book, which introduced us to Trent and Gina as the main characters best friends. In this book Trent and Gina discover that they are more compatible than they first thought. When Trent inherits his uncles old house, he asks Gina to sell it for him they discover that they have a lot in common and start to become honest with their feelings for each other. However, nothing is ever that straight forward. As they explore their feelings for each other the house seems to be trying to tell them that all is not right and something sinister starts to mess with Trent’s health. I really enjoyed this book, the characters are really likable and the story is exciting until the end. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Trent Austin is a good looking lawyer who has just inherited an old Victorian mansion from his Uncle and he has no idea why, they were never that close and it seemed like his Uncle really disliked him, but when he goes in to see what state it is in and gets a really creepy vibe from it and a couple of strange things happen when he tries to open the curtains, he decides he wants rid as soon as he can, so he calls on the only person he can think of to do it. Tina Sanders is a sexy and confident woman and she is extremely good at her job, so when a call from Trent comes in for help selling his newly inherited mansion, she is reluctant to get involved again since she dumped him and ran away three months ago when she got scared by her feelings towards him, but decides that she can be professional, accepts the job and agrees to meet with him at the house the next day.
When they get there, Tina agrees that there is a creepy vibe but she goes around and gives her assessment of what needs doing so they can get a good price, but she is finding it hard to concentrate, as is Trent as the attraction they both felt is reignited as if the last three months hadn’t happened, but neither of them want to act on it. As they continue to walk through the house, they come across rooms in which the decoration doesn’t make sense and just increases the discomfort, but that all increases when they get to the third floor room, Tina feels a compulsion to unlock it and when she doesn find the key and unlock it, she feels like that was a mistake and wants to flee the room as soon as she sets foot in it.
A couple of days later, both Tina and Trent are faced with a barrage of questions by their best friends about what happened when they saw each other and neither of them are forthcoming with the information, but in the end their friends leave it alone for that moment in time. As time progresses and Tina and Trent work together to get the house ready, more strange things happen to them while they are inside, not to mention that they are struggling with their emotions, but when things get dangerous and more serious injuries start, things get personal and a decision is made to get rid of whatever is causing the trouble, but things are not as they seem and as family secrets are revealed will the group be able to see their plan through, or will the house become deadly? Will Trent and Tina ever be able to accept their feelings and move forward, or will fear be the one barrier they both stumble at?
This is a romance with hidden agendas and dangerous dealings but as the revelations occur, it is a mystery which you will be drawn into and wanting to solve too.

Second Chance a Spirit by Carrie Pulkinen a spooky five-star read. This is number two in the Haunted Ever After series, they could be read as standalone, as they do focus on different main characters, but have a running theme and characters who pop up in each other’s stories, but easily read on its own. This as always was funny and spooky with some drama thrown in for good measure. Tina and Trent are well done, they used to date but not anymore, but when Trent needs her, she comes to help. The chemistry is sparky, almost as much as the house. This is a great story and I cant wait to sink my teeth into number three.

This is the second book in the Haunted Ever After Series. You will most definitely want to read the first book in the series. It can be read as a standalone, but I honestly recommend you read the first book as well. The story came to life on every single page. Loved how well written the story is from page one and on. Loved the characters as well as the plot-line. The author has wowed me and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. All around an amazing ghostly romance story with a secrets, and second chances. Trent Austin suddenly inherits a mansion from his recently deceased creepy, crazy uncle. He is a successful, big city lawyer and wants to sale the run-down mansion as quickly as possible. Who better to call to help him other than his ex almost girlfriend Tina Sanders. Tina Sanders is a fun going, big time, real estate agent. When she receives a call from Trent whom she dumped months ago, she is very surprised. They quickly learn there is more to the mansion than they may realize. Really enjoyed this book! This is a very entertaining story. I’m so looking forward to the next book in the series!

Pulkinen is a one click author. Hands down. She has mastered paranormal romantic comedy and always does a fantastic job with character development, plenty of emotion, just the right amount of sass, and good paranormal fun. If you like a good romance and things that go bump in the night, you’ll love this book.

Second Chance Spirit (Haunted Ever After Book 2) By Carrie Pulkinen 5 out of 5 stars
I loved the book Second Chance Spirit (Haunted Ever After Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I loved the characters Trent Austin and Tina Sanders. Tina is intelligent, independent, and very attracted to Trent. Trent is intelligent and can get any woman he wants. He is attracted to Tina. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. I loved that the characters from the first book are brought forward to this one. I also loved the bantering back and forth between the characters. The author does an amazing job of making the story and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on a romantic, exciting, and entertaining book. I highly recommend it.

Second Chance Spirit (Haunted Ever After Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen 4 Stars
Trent is a high powered lawyer who inherits a house from his uncle. He was quite surprised because he was never close to him and his uncle was kind of crazy. After visiting the place, he decided to put it up for sale. It looked and felt like a real haunted house. Wanting a quick sale, he called the best real estate agent in town. Tina was a little surprised that Trent called her. She hadn’t spoken to him since she dumped him. She left him hanging not because she didn’t like him but because she liked him too much. Putting her feelings aside, she decided to remain professional. Inexplicably they both feel a connection to the house but there is something evil that lurks within. Can they both survive to have their happily ever after?
This is the second book in the series. It is Trent and Tina’s story whom we met in the first book. Although this is part two, it can be read as a stand-alone. The book is full of love and danger. The story is well written and the characters bring it to life. This is a fun and enjoyable read. I’m looking forward to part three.

This takes a bit of a scarier tactic on the ghost side. There were times I thought there might be black shadows in my corner and it creeped me out. This also has romance which is hot and steamy between a couple characters we met in book 1. I met and liked them. Tina is smart and sassy. She owns her sexuality and doesn’t apologize for it. Trent is a cool as a cucumber womanizer. He works had and loves to play. He does have a few secrets that show up in here. The story flows nicely but it has the edgier feel to it. Like I stated before it takes a little turn and is mostly a haunted ghostly story with a side of romance.
