Destiny Dove was lucky enough to survive the car accident that claimed the lives of her parents and baby brother. Now she finds herself living in a small trailer with a grandmother she doesn't know. Making new friends in a small town isn't easy - especially when your grandmother is the town Medium. When strange things begin to happen, Destiny has no choice but to accept that she's inherited her grandmother's gifts.

A dark entity has entered town, attacking people close to it. Attached to a set of furniture, it's been set loose on an unsuspecting family. To make matters worse, the furniture belongs to Amy, the popular girl in town. Amy doesn't believe in ghosts, but it's either believe in spirits or believe she's losing her mind when a ghost begins to appear to her on a regular basis.

While the first chapter or two was a little rough, the story smoothed out a few chapters in, leading into an intriguing tale of ghosts, jealousy, and teen love. The characters of Destiny, Jake, and Grams Rose were likeable. And of course what would a teen story be without the super popular girl we all love to hate? While Amy's character comes across as snobby and cruel, there are times you can't help but feel sorry for her. The characters were all well developed, even the secondary ones. You could tell the author put some thought into the storyline. That being said, there were some rough POV transistions in a few places that detracted from the story a little, along with repetition, mostly about the car accident and Destiny's guilt.

Overall, I would say that Haunted Destiny is worth the read. I would gladly pick up another of Ms. Abell's YA books should she ever decide to write one.
