"Haunted is a well-written thriller about something as unpleasant and fascinating as the acts of a serial killer. But this novel is not your usual man hunt. Surprisingly enough we also follow the story from the killer's angle, which makes this 400-page novel an intriguing and easy read. Annika von Holdt writes with effortless ease and presents a skillfully composed plot. A mix of action and psychological depth."

— Grith Kristensen. Jubii Nyt om Bøger.

"Annika von Holdt has a particular talent for the macabre. The first murder the reader is presented with in 'Haunted' is thoroughly frightening. Not even the cannibalistic scenes in Thomas Harris' 'Hannibal' make such terrifying impressions. Annika von Holdt manipulates masterly with both her characters and her readers, and she can write in a way that must have her more experienced colleagues twisting from vexation."

— K.E. Watz. Lolland-Falster Folketidende.

"Well-written and ingeniously composed."

— Femina.

"The newcomer, Annika von Holdt, can with her novel 'Haunted' add 'author' to her business card. And she can do so with a good conscience. The book is cleverly composed, gives a perfect thrill and is non-transparent: just a hint is unveiled and twisted towards roads unknown. Exciting action that won't let you rest until the last page has been turned."

— Bente Wiik. Fyn's Amts Avis.

"The plot is masterfully composed."

— Beth Høst. Dansk Biblioteks Center.

— Bogsamleren.

"Annika von Holdt writes blood gushingly well and keeps the suspense in a tight grip."

— Holger Ruppert. BT.

"Annika von Holdt's first novel is a classic. You simply cannot put it to rest until the last page has been turned. The author never drops the ball, and the suspense is maintained all the way through the book's 400 pages. Prepare yourself for a sleepless night."

— Karin Gråbæk. Alt For Damerne.

"The Danish author Annika von Holdt locks the reader in a tight grip of constant suspense in her thriller 'Haunted'. She cleverly builds up the chapters so they end in a way that leaves the reader craving for enlightenment: One has to know more, and another chapter is consumed."

— Kirsten Purkær. Vestkysten.

"Make a note of the name: Annika von Holdt. I predict (if she doesn't misuse her talent) she will be an international name worth counting on in a few years. I started reading 'Haunted' yesterday, and I finished the 400 pages today: I apologize if my typing is tremulous: it's from excitement!"

— Erik Haaest. Bogvenner.
