I received an e-copy of this book from the publishers at NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Alright so the cover leaves a bit to be desired and the synopsis is a little odd. I decided to give it a try anyway. I have always seen good things from Entangled and I expected this book to be no less than awesome. I have a copy of Lindsey R. Lourks's The Grave Winner which I haven't read just yet, but have heard great reviews of it. I was hoping Haunted Chemistry would be another fun ...more

This was indeed a great, creepy, shivery ghost story! The kind that makes you (well me for sure) walk down the stairs to the basement - especially if you live in the same style of building - a little slower. If you (okay me) are a big chicken (yes I am) you make someone else go down and turn a light on for you so you don't have to go down in the dark.

I’m really enjoying the opportunity to review for the new Entangled Ever After and Covet lines because I’m discovering so many new-to-me authors whose books I love. Lindsey R.

Haunted Chemistry by Lindsey R. Loucks is a freaky and sexy novella that will make you paranoid to do laundry and will have you stocking up on salt. In typical Loucks style, there's a nice mixture of weird supernatural happenings and tense love story.
The story centers on college student Alexis, who moves into a new apartment. Lo and behold, her next door neighbor is none other than Ian, her cute-as-heck lab partner who stood her up and never came back. Now that they're sharing the same building ...more

I received an ARC through NetGalley.
I was expecting a fun, kind of spooky, and sexy story when I started Haunted Chemistry. I wasn't expecting it to actually scare the crap out of me! I'm sure most readers will find this ghost story a little silly (it is), but as soon as a hand came out of that cupboard, I was terrified. No joke. I do spook easily though. Haunted Chemistry starts off with one of the biggest horror story cliches: doing laundry in the basement, at night, during a storm. Yep, that ...more

Haunted Chemistry was a cute (albeit scary) story about two college students who get drawn into someone else’s evil web. Ian and Alexis made plans to go on a date, but when Ian didn’t show up, it left Alexis wondering if she’d imagined the sparks between them. When she finally finds out why he didn’t make it, everything seems to fall into place .

Sometimes a short read can surprise you with the elements the author manages to give us. Alex is just moved into a new apartment 3 weeks ago and decides she needs to do laundry. As she nears the door to the basement in her complex she runs into Ian. Ian stood her up on a date and she has had a hard time dealing with that. The not knowing why is almost as bad as the actual no show. While she's in the basement a cupboard door keeps opening and she freaks out and runs out to once again run into Ian

Now, normally this is not my usual read, however, the story, along with the cover... kinda of interested me. It begins a bit slow but it picks up rather quickly. The book didn't go too fast for me but at the same time, it didn't seem to drag out like some books tend to do with monologuing about each of the characters and plot-line. There were parts in this book where I was seriously creeped out.. Cabinets opening themselves and then Ian, who ...more

This was probably the least favorite of the novellas that I read this week. It had sort of a campy feel to me. I couldn't help picturing the girl from The Ring crawling out of the T.V. when she was describing the ghost girl crawling out of the cupboard.
I did like the romantic aspect of the story, Alexis and Ian running into each other just as the ghost makes her first appearance. Alexis having to overcome the awkwardness of being stood up at the end of spring semester and Ian trying to come up ...more

It was a quick read,not bad and just in time for Halloween. Liked the characters of Alexis and her former chemistry partner Ian and even like Tri cat who thought he was a dog. When she goes down to do her laundry she gets creeped out by the fact that someone seemed to be watching her and the the cupboard door opened and scared her. When she ran, she ran into Ian who was on his way out of the laundry room. And he in his own way, protected her and for his troubles, after awhile ended up vanishing

I wish the book had been longer, and had more details, other than that I loved it. Alexis her mind is so damn funny, "he's the reason I got a B in the lab. I couldn't focus on anything but him. We had some serious chemistry." I mean she takes a simple question and somehow it's turned into something sexual, "all sorts of perverted thoughts run through my head. I would love to go down, thank you very much." She's a saucy thing as well, "can you handle the sight of all my lacy underwear?" I mean yo

Review posted on my blog, Becky on Books.
Reading Lindsey R. Loucks's Haunted Chemistry is a lot like sitting around a dying camp fire, telling spooky stories as the night settles eerily around you. It's a fun read, and a delicious shiver or two might be in order. It definitely kept me entertained.
However, it does fall into the trap of the novella--not a lot of room for plot development--and because of this there are some pretty big coincidences and awfully neat conclusions reached. Still, it's n ...more
