Description
Sometimes the wind can sound haunted… but what if it really is? Something sinister blows in the wind...
Ed, an archaeology graduate from Yorkshire, is out of options. Maria, a Brazilian anthropologist, seeks justice, and Neha, an indigenous Brazilian tribesman, seeks revenge.
Ed reluctantly accepts an archaeological audit job in the west of Ireland but soon discovers that many of the ancient sites have been damaged. Meanwhile, in Brazil, Neha encounters his estranged brother who warns him that something evil has been released into the wind. Following several strange reports, Maria goes to Neha’s village and joins him on a quest into the deep Amazon… but what they find will terrify and shock them in equal measure.
Having suffered several hauntings in his small Irish cottage, Ed eventually meets Neha and Maria who have felt compelled to chase something deadly to Ireland. Ed and Neha are yin and yang, but both soon realise that they must work together to stop an evil force before they, and everyone else, are all killed.

The Haunted Wind by Ross Griffin 4 Stars

"The Haunted Wind" begins with an attention-grabbing prologue, moves on to strange events in the Brazilian rainforest, and then, finally, to the Burren in Ireland. At the start, switching in action between events in Brazil and in Ed’s life were somewhat disconnected. However, when Ed, an archeology graduate, Neha, an indigenous tribesman, and Maria, a Brazilian anthropologist all end up in the Burren, the previous events are explained. It is a spooky and entertaining story with interesting characters and plenty of action. There are elements I have encountered in other horror stories, but many that are uniquely original.
I searched the Burren online. The pictures are amazing. It’s a place filled with history, legend and rare landscape, the perfect setting for supernatural events.
This was an eerie and entertaining tale. I thank NetGalley for alerting me to this book and author. I am looking forward to other novels as Ross Griffin’s career progresses.

This book was a fantastic read. It may seem a little confusing at first with the location and stories jumping from one person/location to the next but stick with it, it will all come together once our characters arrive in the fantastically described Burren in Ireland, and I promise it's worth it! There's a lot of action, and creepy moments so the book never feels slow or like you're just waiting for the next exciting thing to happen to our trio of characters.
Well written with interesting well fleshed out characters, beautifully imagined landscapes and creepy atmosphere throughout. You'll run in to some tried and true horror tropes but Ross Griffin also includes some great original ideas and themes as well. I was so happy to see someone include The Burren in a horror story as it's a stunning location with lots of history and lore, it's a fantastic setting for unexplained occurrences that is often over looked.
This was my first book by the author and I look forward to more!
