Haunted

Alex doesn’t believe in ghosts, but he is about to have his beliefs challenged…

When Jimmy Devlin asks the twins to investigate the strange things that have been happening at The Priory, Alex seizes the opportunity to prove to his sister that there is no such thing as ghosts. However, it soon becomes clear that unquiet spirits are not the only problem facing the Devlin family.

Are the family servants hiding secrets? Has a valuable ring been stolen, or just mislaid? And what has happened to Jimmy’s missing elder brother, Harry? As the twins and Jimmy try to solve the many mysteries of The Priory, they discover they are dealing with a very dangerous enemy…


My Review

Haunted is a brilliant book with exciting storyline that keeps the reader engaged. When unexpected and mysterious activities start to take place in The Priory,  Alex, Donna and Jimmy go on as ghost hunters to find out several facts which they had not known before about the historic building.

This fantastic book has an eye-catching book cover that stands out. Everything in this book is described well and when the storyline took a turn, it encouraged me to read more and more. This is an amazing book full of suspense. I would love to recommend this book to anyone who is fascinated by ghost stories. 

 Author Bio –

Tessa Buckley was an inveterate scribbler as a child, and spent much of her time writing and illustrating stories. After studying Interior Design, she spent fifteen years working for architects and designers. She took up writing again after her young daughter complained that she couldn’t find enough adventure stories to read. This led, in 2016, to the publication of  Eye Spy, the first in a series of detective stories for 9-12 year olds, designed to encourage reluctant readers. The second book in the series, Haunted, was a finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2017.  

Tessa lives with her husband and a large white cat called Pippa. in a town on the Thames estuary, which inspired the seaside setting for the novels. She also writes about health and nutrition, and family history, which has been her passion for many years.


Thanks to Rachel(Rachel's Random Resources) and Tessa Buckley for this brilliant book.
