Haunted: A Reverse Harem Fantasy Romance (The Academy of Spirits and Shadows Book 2) Kindle Edition

I love this series! I so want C.M. Stunich to finish this series! I know that it’s hard to go back when you’re on to the next great thing but going back and finishing this story would be worth it!! Please please?!

Brynn of Haversey, double-blessed spirit whisperer, beautiful, clumsy girl, collector of ghosts. Brynn has been assigned the task of performing a reincarnation spell to bring the crown prince, Air back to life. While she's at it she needs to also bring back his cousin Eli, Prince Dyre, Professor Spicer, and the thief Talon. Of course, she has to rescue Talon from the belly of the wolves first. In essence, she needs to bring her entire ghost harem back to life, not to mention deal with Dyre's shadow twin Trubble and decide if she wants the beautiful griffon, Vex as her mate all while attending her first-year classes at college. If she does manage to successfully perform the spell, her own life may very well be forfeit. Seems as if that should be enough but there is something going on with the Queen and the Kingdom. Something just isn't right.Haunted picks up exactly where book one left off. Brynn has been sleep spelled and can only be awakened by true love's kiss. Enter Vex! He is a definite highlight of this book. His adoration for Brynn and his strength are admirable. We also get to see a new side to Trubble this time. What a great surprise. I love it! Hopefully, this is a permanent addition to the harem. But with the focus on Vex and Trubble we don't get much time with Ari and Eli, not nearly enough! Everything seems okay with Eli, but there's a growing distance between Ari and Brynn. This didn't make sense since he is her first love, her best friend. It felt like the spotlight was more on Brynn's lust for her living guys than on true love. It's painful and worrisome and I feel that now Ari may be keeping something from her. I need their relationship to remain strong. Please restore time to Ari and Brynn. Spicer and Dyre get a bit more story. Spicer is keeping his secrets close to the vest and Dyre seems like a lost, confused soul. Again, hopefully, we find out more about them during the next book. Finally, Talon is absent after the wolf attack but he is never far from Brynn's mind. Felixa and Professor Tiukka had way too much storyline.I enjoyed this book, especially Brynn's time with Vex and Trubble and I feel like a real scobberlotcher for complaining but as I mentioned I was disappointed with the little time spent with the other guys. No steamy times but even worse, no conversations. I missed their times together. There's just not enough overall relationship time and little progression. I was also dismayed and surprised with how little time was spent focusing on the goal; successfully performing the spell. I would have liked to see more forward movement. It seems as if every available moment would be dedicated to restoring her lovers to the living. As Trubble likes to say, a strong woman needs a strong harem. It seemed as if this book may have lost direction.The ending is traumatic. Feather losing language traumatic! Even though you knew that it was coming, it didn't make anything easier. I'm not sure how much more Brynn can take before breaking. I'm not sure what happens next for Brynn and her ghost harem. I may have been slightly disappointed in this book but it may have been because I had such high expectations. CM Stunich is brilliant; one of my favorite authors. I think that this story is wildly creative. I loved Brynn, Ari, and Eli so much in book 1. I didn't expect for them to virtually disappear in book 2. I did fall in love with Vex and Trubble so all was not lost. I haven't lost faith in this series in the least bit. I look forward to Shadowed. I hope that it gets back on track. Forget about the classes, forget about jealous females; focus on Brynn, Eli, Vex, Dyre, Spicer, Talon, and Trubble. Remind me how good it is between Brynn, Ari, and Eli. Keep Vex and Trubble close. And give me a reason to care about Dyre, Spicer, and Talon or set them free.

I just found these books and I devoured them before reading the reviews...this was published in 2018 with no follow up book? Way to leave me on a cliff dangling by my fingernails!! I love all of your books...please finish this series!! Pretty pretty please?!!!

I absolutely adore this series and cannot wait for the rest of the series to be out! I had to do a reread after listening to Book 1 on audio and realized I never reviewed book 2! So I think this is my favorite of CM's paranormal series because of how different it is. I love the concept and how CM is going through it is amazing! I just hope its more than just 3 books because there is a lot left to the story and I unless she is going to write a 100K+ book, I think it will feel rushed and not do the amazing story justice. I am totally ok with waiting another year to get the amazing ending to this story. This series is in my top 10 RH series of all times. I am totally ok with being patient to see CM weave her magic and do her characters justice like she has in her other series ❤️❤️❤️Ok, so in Haunted, we get to see how Brynn and the crew deals with the end of Spirited which gutted me! I loved getting to know some of the other characters in Brynn's potential harem. I didn't think I was going to like Trubble as much but he is definitely growing on me. My heart aches for Spicer and hope he gets some good time in book 3. I thought it was epic with the tie-in with Dyre and am dying to know what happened to Vex! I thought the storyline progressed in this one. For once, I am actually interested in knowing more about the spell and Brynn's schooling, because the classes and her powers sound so cool and exciting. I need mooooooore.The steam and tension in this one was just as good as book 1. I loved her time with Eli, can't wait for more. Sad for Air, but things should get better in book 3. My heart melted with Vex and their future mating and their kiss. And the thing with wings and tails hahahaha, had me giggling every time. I do have to say I am going to want to kill Air's mom, especially with the bs of wanting to separate Brynn from Air and probably offing the others. I know she is grieving buuuuut come on. You already have a lot of people against you, don't make it worse haha.My only critique with this book is that it was a little shorter than book 1 and I wanted more haha. I know people are sorta upset with the wait between books, but I have other books of CMs and other RH authors to tide me over. I just want to know when to expect them so I can schedule my reread and clear my schedule haha. I love this series and cannot wait for more. I also cannot wait for book 2 on audio, which I totally will be preordering/snatching up when available ❤️

When I first read this book, I rated it 5 stars. Although its much shorter and less interesting plot wise compared to the first, I love the idea and the male characters so much I kind of ignored it. MC is fine but the constantly making messes and not cleaning up after herself got extremely repetitive. I feel bad for her human friend that has to do all the work for her. Plus the typos were noticeable. Still I would read the 3rd book, especially if it's more like the 1st.The reason I dropped my rating is because it's been several years since book 2 was release and nothing has been said about when we can expect the continuation of this series, yet Stunich has made countless other series in the meantime. She's a great author, and this is my favorite series from her so far (I've read a decent amount of her work, most of them unfinished), but this is absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. At least make a statement about it publically. Having "in progress" on your website means nothing. When book 3 comes out, well if book 3 comes out, hopefully the plot will move along and MC can finally develop relationships with all guys. If that happens, I'll come back and change my review. Might not happen until 2023 or '24 or maybe even 2030.

I loved this book and can't wait for the next one. All the characters are unique and very lovable and the story line just further developed from the the first book.That being said there are a few grammar errors, but nothing too major that ruins the book. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of attention towards some of the male characters in this book as I felt there was particular focus on a couple of the males and that the rest were some what forgotten. I feel that when dealing with so many main characters the book could do with being longer so that the author could further develop areas and really have all the characters involved in the plot through out. But I still loved the book and loved reading about all the relationships further developing.

Good series...but when on earth are you going to finish it???...waiting to finish two more of your different series as well as this one but this one is taking forever.

Not sure how, but the character I originally considered the comic-relief mascot has become one of my favourites. This series is fantastic and I can't wait for book 3!

Fantastic work! I'm completely addicted to this series. Cant wait for the next one

It was short and sweet compared to book 1 but was still a nice addition to the story.Brynn's harem is simultaneously rallying around her and being picked off in turns like there's some outer influence focused on that sole purpose. I have my theories although some answers would be great ha. I particularly wanna know what Air hasn't been so forthcoming about and Vex's situation is pure torture not knowing when the next instalment is coming.I'm intrigued af and completely sucked in. I just need more. I love the concept of a harem of ghosts with magic, griffins, kitsune and gods mixed in there for good measure.Please give me more!
