October 20 - November 28, 2025 Virtual Book Tour
An eerie suspense novel, in which a grieving woman takes a job at an isolated mansion only to become wrapped up in the curse that seems to have befallen its eccentric owner.
Emily Grace has endured the worst loss imaginable. But can she survive a remote manor haunted by more than just memories . . .?
Drowning in grief, Emily Grace has lost everything: her home, her friends, her career. Only one lifeline remains—a job working for an eccentric millionaire. Along with his wife, he’s been building a mansion on a secluded island surrounded by a harsh and unforgiving sea. But when she disappears under mysterious circumstances, Emily Grace is hired to finish the project.
Locals believe the house is cursed, but their warnings go unheeded as Emily Grace works to rebuild her life. After what she’s been through, nothing can scare her—except perhaps the attention of a handsome man offering more than friendship. And yet, there’s something strange about this solitary fortress. Accidents. Mishaps. Ghostly whispers through the surrounding forest, footsteps when she’s completely alone . . .
Is there truly a curse or is the ethereal specter in the window an omen of something more sinister?
This spooky standalone from phenomenal crime author Elena Taylor will have readers sleeping with the light on for weeks! With vibes of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, fans of Riley Sager and thrillers with light horror elements will love The Haunting of Emily Grace!

Elena Taylor spent several years working in theater as a playwright, director, designer, and educator before turning her storytelling skills to novels. Her first series, the Eddie Shoes Mysteries, written under Elena Hartwell, introduced a quirky mother/daughter crime fighting duo.

The Haunting of Emily Grace is Elena’s first standalone suspense novel.
Her favorite place to be is at Paradise, the property she lives on south of Spokane, Washington, with her equines, dogs, cats, and hubby.
THE HAUNTING OF EMILY GRACE is written by Elena Taylor. I’m a huge fan of this author and so blessed to be on another book tour for her. This is a beautifully written gothic suspense with some paranormal sprinkled in.
Emily has had some tragedy in her life. It’s crazy how someone’s life can go from amazing to heartbreaking in a matter of moments.
She finds herself being tasked with finishing a grand mansion built by eccentric millionaire Cameron Lang. She’s trying to rebuild her life and is still grieving. The house is rumored to be haunted. However she pushes forward.
Things start to go awry when Cameron’s daughter comes to stay the night. You can sense the tension and Emily realizes there is something weird about the two of them.
This is a perfect blend of suspense, paranormal and this story drew me in. I’ve been on a gothic reading kick lately. The author has written well developed characters. The story line is engaging. Thank you to the author, publisher and Partners in Crime Book Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
