5.0 out of 5 stars Great love story -- with the bonus of a ghost, July 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Haunting of Josie (Loveswept) (Mass Market Paperback)

I jumped right into this book and didn't want to put it down until I finished. Josie is a strong woman who has the appearance of someone fragile. Her past is haunted by tragedy and her present is haunted by a ghost. Marc, her temporary landlord, is a remarkably strong but gentle and compassionate soul who is able to help her find all the answers she is seeking. The "familiar" cat is an extraordinary secondary character and unquestionably keeps the story moving. I felt that the sexual scenes were really sensual and contain feelings of caring and intimacy that remained with me to the end of the book. It was a wonderful feeling to have past tragedy end on such a warm and happy note. It was a very satisfying read.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT UP TO KH's STANDARDS!, December 30, 2007

This review is from: The Haunting of Josie (Mass Market Paperback)

The Haunting of Josie was such a disappointment to me. I love her work, her story lines, her characters, her paranormal plots, etc. but I was SO unhappy with this one. I had pre-ordered it. I waited anxiously for it. When it was delivered I actually set aside the book I WAS reading so I could jump right into KH's newest book. I knew something might be wrong when I saw that it was only 240 pages vs. her usual 380+. The plot stunk, the characters weren't fleshed out, (nor were they interesting), the "haunting" part was so minimal as to hardly be worth mentioning in the title, and there wasn't any suspense whatsoever. The passion between Josie and Marc was dull and ordinary romance novel drivel. KH is one of my favorite authors, I love her work! But this one is definitely worth skipping or finding somewhere you can read it for free or cheaply if you just have to read it because it's a KH book. Absolutely, definitely, NOT worth the price of buying it.

This is one of Kay Hooper's best books. I have read practically all of her books. She's great!
