We open to Abbey returning and forcing herself to put Caspian--and what happened in the last book--behind her to look towards her dream of opening a perfume shop. She definitely comes off as stronger and more decisive this book and I can't really fault her for trying to force Caspian to the backburner. Their relationship isn't bound for healthiness after all.
We learn about the revenants (which seems to be a favorite word for what essentially is a zombie--that's right return from the dead? Its a zombie) and let me just say I think Abbey would have preferred never to meet Vincent. The guy is...malevolent. Truthfully he is. He's also astoundingly good at hitting weak points with all the force of a ten ton hammer. He makes several revelations to Abbey in the last few pages that kind of made me go 'oh no...' and feel so badly for Abbey. And made me start to worry she'd slip into bad habits of guilt again. Even after he corrects her (understandably) mistaken assumption about his motives he still smiles. He does confirm some suspicions I had concerning the events leading up to Kristen's death, as well as the foundation for Caspian and Abbey's relationship.
The only problem with The Haunted is that its a middle book of a trilogy, so it does have plot lag. Verday has to keep the balance between giving us information and not giving us it all, which straggles throughout much of the book. Details come in fit and spurts, with the bulk of it being tossed into the ending. This book is moreso a build up of the relationship Abbey and Caspian have and of Abbey finding her path once more.… (plus d'informations)
