Rachel L's Reviews > Came Back Haunted

It’s been days since I finished this book and I am still sitting here in awe of this book and this series. I don’t think anything I say will do this book justice, but I am going to try.

Experiment in Terror is one of my all-time favorite series. I have never, ever, found anything else like it. And us fans of the books thought the author was done with the series years ago (and to be fair, she ended it perfectly back then!). We hoped and dreamed for more, but I am being completely honest when I say I truly never thought Halle would write more. Many horrible things came out of 2020, but to me a part of it was blessed because we got Dex and Perry back!!

Came Back Haunted is book ten in the Experiment in Terror series, so if you don’t want spoilers for the other books I recommend you stop reading this review, go buy all the other 9 books + novellas on Amazon, and read them all right now. They are beyond worth it. In this newest book, Dex and Perry have been living close to a normal life since the last book, Dust to Dust. Now married, they are happy working together and own a small business in Seattle. When they are approached by an accountant to enter a house and communicate with his dead wife, they are skeptical. But the money is too good to pass up. And once you open closed doors, it’s hard to get them shut again.

I absolutely loved this book. Ten books in and this series still gets better with every book. I loved being back with Dex and Perry on their adventures again. I felt like I was in step beside them as they got their bearings back and entered the world of ghosts and demons, a world the had avoided. I loved seeing Fat Rabbit, Ada, and even some surprise characters. Reading this book was like meeting up with old friends again and picking up where you left off.

There were some damn scary parts in this book for sure. Including one scene that I don’t want to spoil but I will say I will never see public facilities the same way ever again. Halle also ventured into subjects I was unsure about, including witchcraft. Despite not actually knowing much about witchcraft myself, I thought all of that was really well done in this book and didn’t seem far fetched or even crazy. I’m also verrryyy curious about two witches and their future in particular after this book.

I cannot express how grateful I am that we get the Experiment in Terror world back again, not just with one book but it looks like a bunch more!! It’s a dream come true, a dream I never even dared to hope would happen again. And it came true.

I loved it. I need to think for a bit before I write a review, because right now my review would just be unintelligible joyous screaming.
