Peace ends in the spirit of joy.

Alec was seeking a respite from city life. He thinks he has discovered it on Plymouth Crest, a manor overlooking the forest and a beautiful lake, golden in the sun. But Alec was warned the house is haunted by a murdered pop singer and Hollywood star.

Footsteps and howling winds soon disturb his sleep. One night, he finds an intruder, Joy, standing barefoot among broken glass in the kitchen. He chases her out. But she returns, enchanting him with laughter and boundless energy. It’s not long before Alec falls in love.

Joy ends when a belligerent character shows up and claims ownership of the house. Alec and Joy have a plan to evict him and bring some resolution to past horrors. If they fail, Alec’s dreams will crumble, and Joy might be subjected to a fate worse than death. But if they succeed, Alec and Joy might be separated forever—and so may end joy. To save Joy—and also have hope of being together—they need a bold plan, bringing them face to face with evils buried in the past, and finding a path to a shared future.

Haunting Joy is a standalone novel in The Phantom Hearts Series. All three books were grouped into this collection with the common theme of supernatural romance and ghostly suspense. Each novel can be enjoyed separately as a complete standalone story without reading the preceding, or subsequent, book.

Content warning: This novel contains sexual scenes, adult situations, and profanity.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Book Of The Year So Far
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025
    Wow. Along with one other, as of early March, this is my favorite book of the year.

    Guys aren't supposed to say this kind of thing, but I don't ever remember crying this much from a book (kind of a "Joy Pain", as Pia Melody would say).

    As the leading female character's name is Joy, one could take that as a pun, but it isn't meant that way.

    I really don't get how Mr Hawke isn't better known, compared to him Stephen King is talentless.

    The plot is basically a Male human & a female ghost truly fall in love, but there is so much more going on.

    Mr Hawke seems to have an amazing intellect, I've never read a bad book from him, & some like this one are beyond belief excellent. His thought process must be truly amazing. I fell in love with Joy the ghost.

    I couldn't recommend this more highly. If you read it, I don't think you'll regret the time.

    This is part of a series; but works fine as a standalone; the three books are only lightly connected if at all.

    OK for teens, maybe a strong "G".

    I was given the chance to read an Advanced Reader's Copy at no charge, & I am leaving a review that is not biased by that.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Haunted
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025
    Goodness, this is such a wonderful story. Alec is an author and has been looking for someplace away from the city where he can write. He finally found what he was looking for Plymouth Crest. It is a beautiful old manor house in surprisingly good condition. But locals are quick to warn him that the house is haunted by its original owner, a young popstar and actress who was murdered, but her body never found.
    Wow, just wow! These characters are all absolutely fascinating. The are so well written and compelling that I couldn’t put this book down! I guess the most startling thing about this book is that Alec falls in love with the ghost haunting his home, and that she loves him back. I cried at the end of this book! I think this is a must-read paranormal romance, and I highly recommend it to other readers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love Story of A Different Type
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025
    Haunting Joy is a love story of a different type, and so is the drama. The characters are lovable, and you can imagine them living in a small town somewhere. The storyline has some intense moments but mostly tells the story of two people falling in love under extraordinary circumstances. Though unbelievable, it is quite a believable tale. I could not put the book down and read it in one sitting. It is a different type of page-turner.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing supernatural romance
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2025
    This is book two in the Phantom Hearts series. It’s a supernatural romance full of mystery and suspense. This book has a strong, well-developed and an interesting story line with twists and unexpected turns that keep you reading and turning the pages. It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention. Amazing world building that is detailed and imaginative and so well done that you're drawn into a fantastic world unlike any other. Strong, interesting, and fascinating characters that are well developed and diverse. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story.
