I had such high hopes for this book as I adore mythology and who doesn't love a ghost hunter but unfortunately I found to to be rather dull and lacking.

Cool concept, okay execution!

Chloe is a ghost hunter who inherits the family powers after the tragic death of her older sister, Jamie. She is guarded by Ramses, who has stayed with her family for generations (my favorite character by far).

She crosses paths with Helen (of Troy, but trying to kick that moniker) and the two team up in more ways than one.

Didn't find myself as engaged with the plot/romance in this one as some other books in this genre, unfortunately.

I couldn't finish the book. I didn't like the writing very much. It felt dull. I tried a lot, but it was so hard to read. I don't think it's really bad, I just don't really want to keep trying read that.

Dual POV and I love the ghost hunter angle (plus the fact FMC has the same name as me means I could really get into this book)

I wasn't familiar with the myth going into it which was very refreshing.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and supernatural!

This story is very fast paced, and very descriptive, giving you the perfect amount of words for full-blown imagination of the scenes, Overall, it's nice to just lean back and watch the characters do their things, Chloe fighting spirits and Helen saving monsters, and then slowly and reluctantly falling in love. It gives me vibes of just sitting down and having your favourite TV show run in the background, no time for thoughts due to the pace. While the story could've been a bit less predictable and have more twists, this was overall a very captivating read.

Overall, this was a fun action adventure story with a mythological/folklore twist. It takes place in modern times where a young woman, Chloe inherits her family's legacy of ghost hunting after her sister (who was previously doing it) passed away in a car crash. It was giving Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Supernatural in the mix of hunting supernatural beings, but also being fun and quippy. The main character Chloe is sarcastic and feels like a real woman in her early twenties. The love interest THE Helen of Troy is also a very likeable and realistic feeling character (as much as a 3000 year old demigod can anyway). I would definitely recommend this to people looking for an aged up Percy Jackson.

Haunted by Myth by Barbara Ann Wright is an absolutely gripping read that blends mythology and mystery in the best way possible. The book follows a protagonist who is trying to unravel the truth behind ancient myths and the supernatural events that start to unfold around them. Wright’s storytelling is compelling, drawing you into a world where legends come to life and danger lurks around every corner.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the early read.

“Haunted by Myth” by Barbara Ann Wright is a fantasy book with romance elements. I picked this up because im a fan of Greek mythology, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

The concept was interesting and I liked the writing, but sadly, I didn't find the characters appealing. 3/5 for me.

I was really excited to read this - the blurb sounded great! However I just couldn’t connect with it and found myself skim reading it from about 20% in. This one wasn’t for me I’m afraid

Haunted by Myth by Barbara Ann Wright was a novel I was looking forward to reading. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped to.

The premise of the story is intriguing and I have always enjoyed reading anything that included Greek mythology, even in an urban fantasy. Ms. Wright is an excellent author, and I’ve enjoyed reading many of her novels.

For some reason, though, I could not bond with this story. I even tried putting it down and reading something else for a while, then trying it again. I still couldn’t get into the tale.
While I can’t recommend this particular book, I do suggest you check out the many other titles by Barbara Ann Wright.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for allowing me to read and review this novel.

As a greek mythology nerd (thanks to Percy Jackson), I had an amazing time reading this book. A great mix between the "official" mythos and the author's ideas. I was enthralled in the story, couldn't put it down and I finished it in a few hours. I thought the romance was quite touching and endearing and it was overall a great read which I would totally recommend to my fellow greek mythology nerds! 4.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the e-arc!
The premise of this book immediately drew me, and I knew I had to read it! Monster hunters with sapphic Helen of Troy? Sign me up! I do think this could have been a longer story or even a series. I still enjoyed this, especially with all of the different mythological characters. I love it when the author uses different types of mythology and pantheons throughout the story.
This is definitely a very fast-paced read with the action starting almost immediately when picking up the story! The romance as well picks up very quickly with a very insta lovey vibe. While in the story it wasn't so much a negative it is some thing to note.

Thank you netgalley for this arc copy of the book.

I went into this story really excited. I’ve been on a paranormal kick, and ghost? Hunting ghost? What else could a girl want from a book. But I think the idea I had in my head was a little different than how the story played out, so I don’t think it’s a bad book or badly written I think I accidentally went into it with expectations and the book was just different from that. Not to say it was bad, just not for me.

I'm pretty sure I ended up requesting this waaaay too close to when it was published. I probably won't be able to get to this one.

This was a really exciting and well-written inversion of Greek myth. I enjoyed how it harked back to the myth often. For me, the highlight was watching how Chloe and Helen's relationship developed, especially in spite of everything happening around them.
A really fantastic, exciting book to read!

'Haunted by Myth' by Barbara Ann Wright was not necessary what I imagined when I first read the blurb.
It's very much a fantasy book, that didn't win me over, despite my interest in Greek mythology. And reading that while studying in Greece I expected to enjoy more unfortunately.


I liked the concept but the writing itself wasn't very convincing and catching as I expected.


Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with the Arc in exchange for my honest review.

I'm grateful to the publisher and NetGalley for granting me the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this captivating book. From the first page to the last, I was thoroughly engrossed in the story, unable to put it down. The characters were well-developed, the plot was gripping, and the writing was superb. Overall, I immensely enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to fellow readers. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this wonderful reading experience.

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of Haunted by Myth by Barbara Ann Wright

Mythology is one of my favourite genres! Loved the sapphic relationship, love it when LGBTQ+ and mythology meets.

This is a romp through gods, monsters, ghosts, and lore as Chloe, who works with an Egyptian god to put rogue ghosts to rest, crosses paths with Helen of Troy and a pair of sibling monster-hunters. Initially all opposed, these factions find ways to work together to figure out why there are suddenly more ghosts, monsters, and chaotic events. The romance between Helen and Chloe is cute and charming, and all of the characters eventually get some depth and quirks. I hope there will be more books with these characters.

A fun book! I love the world that was built in this story, and would gladly read more based in this world. I absolutely fell in love with the relationship between Chloe and Ramses.
