The Haunting of a Duke by Chasity Bowlin
5.0

4.5 stars, a great historical romance with some paranormal touches!

Also, please be aware of the following CW/TW:
Spoiler mentions of suicide, (mentions of) domestic abuse, (mentions of) emotional abuse, sexual assault/abuse, rape, incest, (mentions of) pedophilia, (attempted) murder, allusions to violence. Also graphic sex, unconsented to voyeurism, and use of foul language. And contains unexplained paranormal occurences.


I really liked this book, it drew me in from the first chapter. The characters were introduced in a solid way and the pacing felt mostly right, if a bit slower sometimes to allow for the relationships to develop. I appreciated the cheeky humor every now and then, and the use of the paranormal. The mystery posed at the beginning was partially predictable, but I was still surprised by the twist towards the end. The story did tilt towards more dark topics (see CW/TW above), the villainy of which really grossed me out, but made for a good story. I'm very curious to see the stories of some of the other characters mentioned in this book!
