Siler House has stood silent beneath Savannah’s moss-draped oaks for decades. Notoriously haunted, it has remained empty until college-bound Jess Perry and three of her peers gather to take part in a month-long study on the paranormal. Jess, who talks to ghosts, quickly bonds with her fellow test subjects. One is a girl possessed. Another just wants to forget. The third is a guy who really knows how to turn up the August heat, not to mention Jess’s heart rate…when he’s not resurrecting the dead.
The study soon turns into something far more sinister when they discover that Siler House and the dark forces within are determined to keep them forever. In order to escape, Jess and the others will have to open themselves up to the true horror of Siler House and channel the very evil that has welcomed them all.
My Thoughts
I decided to read the haunting season in hopes of finding a good scary book. The book was based off Jess Perry and Gage POV. Jess has the gift to see ghost however a few months before she lost her ability to see them. In hopes of being able to see ghosts again she enters a study where she lives at a haunted house for a month with three other students and a professor. Gage has the power to bring animals back to life. The other students, Bryan and Allison, too have powers. I did not connect or care for any of the characters in the book. The book was pretty stereotypical; the brave girl, Jess, the scared girl, Allison, the handsome boy, Gage, and the best friend, Bryan. That being said there is a romance between Jess and Gage. Because of the romance in this book I would rate this book pg 13 for the sex scene. Towards the end of the book I was waiting for all my questions to be answered however I was left with nothing. I do not know if the author is planning another book which would make a little sense as to why she did not include much details or answers. The book was an easy read however it was a little underwhelming. The book had a lot of potential but it just did not deliver . I would not recommend this book.
